While we were browsing in the visitors center the ladies working recommended we hop on the trolley tour to get a quick history of the city. We had never been to Mobile before so, we decided it would be a good idea. They walked us out to the trolley and we were able to pay by debit card with the driver.
We didn't know it but, we were in for a big treat with a well informed and humorous driver. Think flight attendant putting pizzazz on the safety chat at the beginning of a flight. He covered history of architecture, culture, inequality, present and future improvements. He pointed out places of interest, shops to pop into and the city economy and infrastructure. I enjoyed the story about the Moonpie they drop at midnight on New Years Eve!
The City is rich in historical significance and it reminded me of New Orleans but, better because the people are much friendlier Southern types and it's a safe city.
After the tour the driver sat and chatted with us for a bit and I appreciated that! It was worth every penny and wasn't expensive at all! read more
