    I bought the tickets through Orbitz. It was a good price for two people. Get there early to have a parking spot. The tour starts at 9 am and it goes through historic Savannah neighborhoods. The best thing to get is the hop-and-on pass. There are trolley stops all around the tour and you're able to get off and on. I gave them three stars because of my experiences. It started when I checked in. No one was on the front counter. She was doing multiple people's jobs. I've waited like 10 minutes. I showed my Orbitz confirmation on my phone. She asked me if I had a printout. So, I didn't and she didn't print it out. She explained that I have to have a sticker to get on and off the trolley (this will evolve into an experience later). I didn't know there was a way to get around and re-rise the trolley when I booked my tickets on Orbitz. Unfortunately, I didn't get those tickets :/ Moreover, we sat inside the trolley and sat on the front row with the tour narrator just one foot in front of us. When he was talking he projected saliva on us. It was disgusting! Also, during the tour, she stopped talking and looked at young females walking on the sidewalk. It was not necessary to do that in front of people while narrating historical facts. It was very creepy and perverted. During the ride, I noticed we stopped at the trolley stop tourists coming on to ride the trolley without the Old Savannah Tour. The driver didn't say anything to them and asked them for their tickets. At the end of the tour at the Savannah Welcome Center. It is the last stop to take a break. Therefore, we had to take another trolley back to the Old Savannah Tour Center. When we hopped inside the trolley the driver asked if we had tickets. He didn't ask the other non-persons of color who were getting inside the trolley. That irritated me! I felt singled out. Overall, I liked the facts about the historical park squares and houses during the trolley tour. However, I wouldn't recommend this for older adults with mobility difficulties. My mom didn't enjoy it because it was a lot of walking and River Street had an even sidewalk.

    I've been to Savannah many times and even lived there for over a year when I attended Armstrong Atlantic State University, now Georgia Southern University. However, I've never taken a trolley tour until this past September when we visited for a few days. We had several hours to kill on a Thursday and my history loving husband suggested we take a trolley tour and I thought why not? It would be a great way to see and learn more about the oldest city in Georgia! We chose the hop on-hop off tour, which is 90 minutes long. The tour begins each day at 9:00am and the last tour leaves at either 4:30pm or 5:00pm depending on the season. This tour goes through 14 stops and a trolley comes by every 15 minutes or so. We hopped off pretty early on to explore one of the squares by foot and ended up walking around, getting coffee, and shopping for over an hour. We hopped back on and stayed for several more stops, but had to hop off once we got closer to our hotel. We appreciate that you have the freedom to "customize" your tour experience. The tour was very informative and enjoyable! We loved the addition of historical characters who hopped on at different stops. The actors did a phenomenal job. Highly recommend!

    Old Savannah Tours: For the most part the tour provided us with a lot of information about Savannah with all its history. A cool service they provided is that you call them and they'll pick you up - our pick up spot (on Bay Street) was super close to our hotel (Hyatt Regency Savannah) actually it was in front of the Bohemian which was located right next door. Once you're picked up they take you to the Savannah Welcome Center where you'll check in (showing your email receipt or paying for your tour). They'll give you a sticker to place on your shirt to use throughout the day for hopping on and off at the different stops (16 total) Whenever we travel to a city we take hop on hop off tours and run the entire route to see all the stops then we figure out which stops we like and go back to those stops. Overall the Tour was decent it was just that the driver/tour guide spoke to fast and the volume of the speaker was not high enough to hear everything. Also the bus moved very fast through some of the areas so seeing everything that the driver/tour guide was pointing out only allowed us a moment to see what he was talking about. The tour takes you through the many squares with Spanish Moss hanging from the Oak trees- the old south look you always see in pictures/movies very cool. A nice extra is that from time to time the bus would stop and a character actor (dressed in the period of time or subject of the particular area/time) would join us on the bus to tell us stories about the area/city of Savannah. All in all it is a very good way to see all the historical spots, but again we felt slightly rushed. I felt we missed a few things

    There are three trolley tour companies in Savannah, but Old Savannah Tours is locally owned (not a franchise) for 40 years, and they provided a great experience! My driver and guide was Robbin. She told stories and gave historic information along the 15 stops. There were also actors that came on board at a couple of stops to provide historic information about the characters they were portraying from a 1st person perspective. You can choose the Overview tour that lasts about 90 minutes or you can buy the hop-on/hop-off option to explore a bit at the stops you prefer and get on the next available trolley. They run around every 15-20 minutes, so if the next trolley you want is full, another shouldn't be that far behind.

    We enjoyed our tour, they are open air trolley busses. Seating is comfortable enough. The guide we had was fun and energetic throughout as well as knowledgeable about all of our stops. The actors at each stop are a fun encounter with stories and it was entertaining more so for our children. Would recommend again when having guests from out of town to get a tour of a lot the haunted stops around Savannah if they've never been.

    Such a fun time! We took a tour today and did the hop on/off one, so wound up on 3 different trolleys total! Our favorite was the last one! The driver was also the tour guide (other two had one person telling a story while someone else drove) and he was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and also hilarious. I unfortunately can't remember his name - but he used to live in the Chicagoland area (Hinsdale) so we had that in common! Super welcoming to our pup, Chucky as well! Love that it's dog friendly! Great way to explore the city rain or shine and not leave a furry family member behind! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting! Thanks for having us!

    I've been on this tour a few times and each time it's different. The stories seem to change as well. They added where different people portraying historical characters get on at various stops to tell a story. It wasn't my favorite tour experience. If was okay. We tipped the tour guide and driver because it seemed like hard work and they did their best.

    They allowed us to bring outlet dog. Which was really great! Our tour guide Eric was great. Lots of information about Savannah. He was able to maneuver that trolly in some tight places too The couple historians dressed in vintage clothing was cool too The only reason I rate them a 4 is because we finished our tour in the dark. None of the parking lots were lit So it was very dark walking from the trolley to our car.

    Old Savannah Tours are an interesting way to get around and learn some historical facts about Savannah. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this tour, but I don't think what we experienced was what I had in mind. I did a ghost tour with Old Savannah tours and learn some really interesting and creepy facts about the city which was pretty cool, but I was kind of thrown by the ghost characters that they had come on the trolley. Overall, the tour was decent, and I got learn a little history about Savannah. If you haven't tried one of these tours, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

    My sister in law and I spent the weekend in Savannah and thought it would be nice to take a tour of the city. Great idea. This tour company has trolleys running all day and you can get off the trolley and get back on to explore. We decided to stay on the entire tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We payed for our tour online. The pickup spot was right outside our hotel. Very convenient. Don't forget to tip the driver.

    It was good to get an overview of the historic areas. We took the tour and then came back to the next day to visit our favorite locations.

    Where do the tours start-215 Boundary street or the address listed in their Yelp profile?

    How is the Grave Encounters tour?

    Pretty fantastic. The tour was more ghostly than jump-scare. The talking was good. I feel the price matches the expectation. Paulie and Ro were fun.

We chose to do the full loop first so we could hear Jared's complete narration before hopping off to explore. It was the perfect decision! He shared fascinating details about Savannah's rich history, along with some lesser-known fun facts that really brought the city to life. The tour sparked our excitement to visit spots we might have overlooked otherwise. The hop-on hop-off format worked brilliantly for us. Buses arrived quickly at each stop--we rarely waited long--and the stops are conveniently located near all the main tourist attractions. It got a bit crowded toward the end of the day (around 5 p.m.), and we occasionally had to wait for the next bus, but overall, it was seamless and stress-free. One small suggestion: I wish the tours ran a little later than 5 p.m. It would be ideal for avoiding parking hassles and enjoying dinner downtown--there are so many delicious restaurants to try! We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting an easy, informative, and enjoyable way to see Savannah. Thanks to Jared for making it memorable!

With that being said, upon researching the area, Dan's tour came up as almost unanimously the best thing to do in Savannah. To say we learnt a lot and had a great time would be an understatement, Dan gave us a broad overview of many elements of Savannah's rich and diverse history. We were visiting from Florida, so we knew it would be hot, but as it was a very shaded route with plenty of stops it was not an issue. As Dan advices on the website, pack water, and sunscreen. The walk itself is very dog friendly and at a leisurely pace suited to all levels of fitness. Finding dog friendly activities is always high on our list, and plus the wealth of knowledge and passion Dan has it was a no brainer! Due to the heat, some other guests had to reschedule their time, so we were lucky enough to have a private tour, which probably would be worth an additional star on its own! Dan as a host was witty, engaging and brought Savannah to life. We have already recommended Savannah Dan to multiple people and will continue to moving forward.
