A must for first time visitors to the area. Very informative and relaxing. We were lucky to get Bill as our driver. He was not only extremely knowledgeable but also very funny. We would definitely take the tour again next time we visit this beautiful area!! read more

My husband and I took the hop-on hop-off trolley tour in Savannah and had a fantastic time! Our driver, Jared, was absolutely wonderful--he has such a great personality and was incredibly engaging throughout the ride. 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! read more

This is a good way to get the lay of the land in downtown Savannah. The drivers were Knowledgeable and told lots of stories along the way. Some were a bit suspect like I really don't think that Ford put Spanish moss in his cars and had people "itching for a Ford." We googled it, but we might be wrong.... There were some stops that were right across from each other which was confusingOur driver told us about Mrs. Wilke's restaurant and helped us get there. Delicious food! It runs from 9 AM to 5 PM and you just have to be on the trolley by 5 PM and they'll take you to the stopyou want to end up at. read more

We are veterans of Old Town Trolley Tours since we've been on many tours in various cities. Suzanne & I agree: Miss COOPER is the very best Host of any / every tour we've ever been on! Am not kidding! She's extremely knowledgeable; knows her stuff; her delivery is hilarious , and she is definitely in her element as a Tour Guide. Considering she's been doing Ghost Tours for a few years, I think it's absolutely amazing that she has been doing Day Tours for merely a week! If Cooper worked for me, I'd promote her, asap!

We hopped on and off this trolly all day today. Great way to see all the historical spots and hear the stories behind the history. We loved our first driver, Cash!!! read more

Old Town Trolley is an excellent way to experience the touristy core of Savannah without renting a car. We purchased a 2-day pass that allowed us to hop on and off each day until 5 PM, after which we used Uber/Lyft to get around. I recommend hopping on and off, as each driver has their own personality, and some are definitely more engaged and interesting than others. Even though some of the trolleys were a bit crowded, there was never too much of a wait until another came along. The route map allowed us to grab lunch/coffee along the way and check out some attractions while getting a historical overview of Savannah, and getting accustomed to the city layout. The only negative experience was at the Old Town Trolley welcome center where one of the sales guys was disappointed we bought our tickets in advance via the AAA website, touting it's the best price to purchase through them, when in fact it was more expensive to purchase on site. He proceeded to then hand us 2 brochures, one of which had an outdated route map, which made things confusing on our first day of using the trolley. Overall, using Old Town Trolley was a great way to get around Savannah and doing the whole tourist thing without having to rent a car, and I would recommend them to others. read more

We took the Old Town Trolley Tour 8 years ago. We liked it so much that we decided to take it again. We had a fantastic time from 11AM to 5:30PM. We had three different drivers on 10/10/25. Ellis was our favorite as he provided us with a comprehensive, congenial history of the city as we traveled to 16 stops in 90+ minutes. He also recommended an excellent place for lunch, which we enjoyed. We also ate dinner there. We had perfect weather - sunny and cloudy, and no rain. It was cool as we rode from stop to stop. We went to every stop, and when it started over again, we got off at stop 10 to eat and shop. We walked to stop 11 and got on again. This time we got off at the Riverwalk. We shopped, and got back on, riding to stop 9 where our car was parked at the visitor center. There are two tours: 75 minute historical tour in an enclosed white bus and a 90 minute tour in an open air yellow bus with individual & different commentary by the driver you have. We have not tried the first one. We like being able to get on and off, and listening to different drivers' perspectives. The staff at each of the visitor centers housing the tour are friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us coupons with our map. Unfortunately we forgot to use them when we visited and shopped at five of the locations! Maybe you'll be more aware and remember to use them after your tour! read more

These are a great tour to enjoy! They offer hop on hop off opportunities and you can purchase the day pass and it's good for the entire day of touring. They have knowledgeable tour guides who provide excellent information and are also funny to listen to. We enjoyed our experience and have done it all more than one occasion. read more

Terrible experience !!! We stood at our stop for 40 min . Every trolley was completely full ! And terrible customer service in over the phone ! read more

I used the Hop on Hop Off Tour on three different days. I like Hop on Hop off tours, but how good they are depends on the driver/conductor. Most of the conductors were decent, but the conductor that you want is Pops. Pops was great. We gave him feedback and the tour was very interesting. Additionally, Pops really gave us a lot of information, which I appreciated. read more

I wouldn't recommend splurging if you have an active toddler, I'll share my experience, others might have had a different one. The driver/guide was nice but not too long into the route he did sternly announce along the lines of "if you're having a conversation I can't stop you but please keep your volume low". The trolley quieted down and to keep my toddler quiet and from having his full blown tantrums, I turned on Ms. Rachel at what I felt was a very low and reasonable volume. Mind you this is an open air trolley with traffic noise all around, not a library. Later into our ride we had another passenger ask us to "turn down the volume". I didn't realize people expected a quiet experience on what I felt was a public transport. We felt compelled to get off at the very next stop and honestly we just walked around the rest of the day and it was much quicker than the trolley anyways. I don't feel like it was a family friendly experience if you have young ones that can't follow instructions and know how to be quiet yet. Big waste of money for us. So just choose wisely, you can honestly walk around at your own pace and it'll be a better experience than sitting around a bunch of judgey folks that expect silence from a baby. read more

Excellent way to see historic Savanah. Great drivers who double as tour guides. Each driver provides unique insights. Fun day. $38.95 (Jan 26) before any coupon discounts and taxes added. I recommend! read more

For the most part we enjoyed the Old Town Trolley Tours. The information is very informative but it all depends on the driver/presenter. When we first got on, our driver/presenter was amazing. She was very engaging, very informative and presented the history very well. The second ride with a different driver/presenter was awful. She definitely was having a bad day as at a stop she went on a rant how no one was listening to her, how she only had to get through 5 years (not sure the significance) and then called on riders to answer past questions when they weren't even on the bus during the time that information was presented. Pretty unprofessional. So what we learned with these tours is the information is very good but it all depends on the driver/presenter. They really do make or break the trip so when they are good, let them know you appreciate it. read more

Enjoyed- changed driver and had a much better tour. Mel Bel is a riot! Lots of history shared. Pretty much on schedule, a bus will be at 16 stops every 20 minutes, Starts at 9 and DONE at 5pm! $50 for adults all day. Hope on and off. Stops 8 rest room and 10 city market are important. All drivers very friendly. TIPS welcomed!!! read more

On the whole we enjoyed this trolley tour. The driver mumbled a bit and we would have liked a lot more history. It was open air and sometimes hard to hear the driver so someone hard of hearing would have had a hard time understanding what was being said. It absolutely poured rain so it was nice we could put down the windows. It's pretty pricy so be sure to buy tickets early in the day so you can hop on and off at will and use it as your transportation and not at the end of the day where you get one loop around. read more

A absolutely the worst experience. I get you "might" be busy. But when you tell us a certain time for pick up and you're a minimum of 30 minutes late. I find that completely unacceptable. I have been on an array of hop on and hop off buses around the world and this is absolutely the worst. Drive your car you'll get there faster. read more

This was an excellent option to get around Savannah for a 2-day trip. I purchased the 2-day pass because I didn't want to rent a car and I planned on visiting several places around Savannah. The trolley drivers were great, each one brought their own charm to the narration. I actually rode so often, I probably know the city enough to do my own tour. :-) Getting off and on at various stops was a breeze and I never had to wait long for a pick-up. And the drivers allowed ample time for passengers approaching the shuttle to get on. I will say that the pick-ups at the actual Old Town Trolley storefronts usually had more people getting on, recommend maybe getting on at one of the in-between stops if possible. I found that all of the stops were very conveniently located a few steps, if not right in-front of most of the places to see. I was also lucky enough that there were a stop a few steps from my hotel. Definitely recommend to get around the main sites of Savannah. read more

Great information. On and off trolley for many places. Lovely people working trolleys. Worth the tour!

Kind of expensive bus ride around a pretty walkable city. They were recently purchased a few months ago and the website is not up-to-date with new ticket sales and location information. We missed the trolley luckily the driver called me, but he couldn't get me a shuttle in time. After speaking with two other sales representatives, Josh was able to help me! Thankfully, we didn't waste nearly $100 for one and a half hour bus ride around the city and we were able to hop on another bus but kind of lost its cluster so we got off and went to one of the stops and got something to eat after a long afternoon. The bus driver was really nice and friendly And tried to make it fun but my bubble was deflated. They have a nice ticket building with a QR code to purchase tickets, but be careful all of the buses don't go to that building for pick up. Who would know this? I would not do this again read more

Had a fantastic time here with my son. Mother and son date night was fun. We enjoyed the tour and the history. We loved the stories and seeing the sights. Temperance our tour guide was fantastic! She was knowledgeable and engaging. She made the tour fun! My only concern was at points it was hard to hear from certain guests holding a side conversation, despite being asked multiple times to refrain from side conversations. Sandy our driver was great and kept us safe! This is definitely a tour we will do again! read more

We took two different buses - and finished our ride on Miss Gina's bus; she was fantastic. Hilarious, singing, telling personal anecdotes. I did Old Town tour in St Augustine as well and find this a great way to get an overview and history of a city in a relaxing and personable way. I would highly recommend this to anyone! read more

Tammy was the BEST driver we had all day. I give her five stars!! But the service itself is not what we expected. We waited and waited for trolleys sometimes for 45 mins to an hour at some stops. It was frustrating! read more

Took the Old Town trolley tour with DA as our guide on March 16! He was fabulous! Welcomed everyone warmly, had a fun sense of humor, and shared his love of history and of Savannah and Georgia with wonderful southern charm! We've taken this tour over 20 times and DA was the best! read more

I think I've been on this tour about 6 times now. It's convenient, and the perks are amazing. The city of Savannah is a must see with all their monuments and different places of interests. This trolly tour takes you around the city, with hop on and hop off so you get to see a lot of Savannah and its beauty. There are numerous stops (not sure exact number 15 or 19?) a bus comes around every 15 minutes, so you can get off and see the sights and hop on another trolley. My favorite stop is the old city market, and the prohibition museum. Also river street where there's a lot to do. The narrators are always a wealth of knowledge, friendly, and humorous. Well worth the time, and money. I believe it runs about $50 per person. read more

After a 5 hour drive we thought this would be a good way to see and hear about Savannah. Miss. Pearl our driver made the trip fun and entertaining. We sang Christmas carols and wished those walking by Merry Christmas. Awesome experience. read more

You can not be in the historic district without seeing these trolleys about. You can hop on and off, and it is a great way to get the lay of the land, while learning about Savannahs history. It is a very walkable city, but it is nice to have a sit and just take in your surroundings. I had several different drivers, but Red stood out. She shows a lot of love and knowledge for the city and was so engaging. I almost didn't want to get off at my stop, she pulls you in. They have some other tours that you can combine to get a discount, and I never had to wait more than about ten minutes for the next one to come. read more

Great experience and best way to see the city. Convenient too as you can hop on and hop off anytime you want, and every single driver/tour guide were amazing and very informative. On one route we had the hilarious 'Big-E' who had a past life as a comedian and radio show host, and then another route we had 'Q' and she was so sweet and so funny herself. All the drivers were also very patient at each stop to everyone waiting outside to make sure they could get a seat or would radio the other trolleys to let the people who had to still wait how long the wait was - good customer service. Not a boring low energy tour at all, as you will be entertained and informed all at the same time. Price point IS higher at around $50 per person compared to similar tours I've done in other cities, but the tour guide's humor, customer service, and knowledge make it all worth i! read more

Old Town Trolley Tours - Historical Tours Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Entertaining if you get a good guide driver. Over two days, we had several drivers. We noticed that every time we sat on the right side of the trolley, there was poor sound quality and most of the narration was unintelligible. No issue on the left side. Not sure if it's just specific trolleys. At times it can already be hard to hear due to loud traffic and other passengers who think it's ok to talk loudly amongst themselves or let their kids squeal the whole trip. Drivers encouraged everyone to respect other passengers, but some people ignored them and proceeded to try to ruin it for everyone else. Tammy was so fun and told great stories. Another female whose name I have forgotten (sorry!) was also fabulous and gave great information and history. Deion was fun, but lacked much information I got from the others about the history on the previous day. Another guy mumbled and spoke so softly that the back half of the trolley jumped off to catch the next one. The front row tried to point this out and he spoke louder for a few minutes but it was short lived. Other drivers had their volume turned up, so not sure about speaker issues. He told someone trying to get on who asked if there were two seats left that he didn't know and turned around dismissively like he was being bothered. Every other driver asked the passengers to check and tried to fill the seats with waiting people. There were, in fact, four available seats. The last guy who drove us asked repeatedly between stops 16 and the end if anyone wanted to ride further. Only four people wanted to as the rest of us had already completed all stops and it was 4:30pm. Multiple groups stated they had to depart at stop 1 due to other plans. He said ok and proceeded five minutes later to try to go on without opening the doors to the point of multiple rows shouting that they wanted to get off. I'm happy to tip these hard working people, because they have to give a lot of information while dealing with bad traffic, pedestrians and very tight driving spaces. It's not easy at all. I kind of felt like there was too much variation in provided information from the guides, making me sad that I couldn't catch the better drivers for more of my visit to get the full effect of the tour. Unfortunately, my health will never allow a return, so the poor sections I had both rounds are all I get. A couple we talked to while waiting at one stop could only invest a single day, and they only got both of our really crappy drivers. They felt ripped off completely. So it really matters who your tour guide is as to how good the tour will be. I will say that I felt safe being driven by all of the drivers, and that the trolleys were easy to access for other passengers with mobility issues. The wait times were also short. Overall I would say it can be a wonderful experience if you luck out and get picked up by one of the more professional drivers. However if you get a dud, it turns into a $40 taxi ride from an overly talkative stranger instead of a vacation treat. Scan the QR for a map, because the printed one they provided was inaccurate to scale, leading to confusion and wasted walking time. read more

The tour missed the mark a bit for me. Ellis was a great tour guide. Incredibly knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for the city and history. Magic Mike could use some work. He offered more personal opinions than factual information about the city. The hop on/off portion of the tour is fantastic especially if using the tour as transportation. There are plenty of stops throughout the very walkable city. I will say the tour is a bit on the expensive side. read more

We went on his tour last week. Five of us... We waited for three trolleys to pass us before the five of us could get on the same trolley. The second conductor, whose name was Dick was almost impossible to understand which was very frustrating... It was important to be able to understand the person who was supposedly telling you historic information about Savannah! If you climb on board and an older man named Dick is your conductor, I would highly recommend climbing off and waiting for the next trolley! read more

5-12-24 Mother's Day 7-18-24 #1 Activity for out of town guests as well as for myself to learn all the history and happenings of Savannah. Note locals do get a discount. The first time we took the tour we heard the history and hubby especially liked the history of all the points of interest where the movie Forrest Gump was filmed. Including the square and bench where the movie filmed. The steeple for the beginning shot of the floating feather. They had the bus go in the opposite direction so the bus doors would open out to pick him up. The second visit I knew to get there super early so I would not miss one thing. Than we took the tour again and got off at City Market to go on the tour of the Prohibition Museum. Love the tour so much I literally could go all the time. Perhaps they should sell seasonal passes for locals like me that just love riding the trolley. read more

Purchased our tickets via Viator. With Viator you earn rewards and can also use Rakuten for extra cash back. You can also cancel up to 24 hours before. Our passes were good for 2 consecutive days. My family has taken hop on hop off busses in several cities and the guides in Savannah are the type to actually narrate the tour. They are entertaining and informative, especially Mike and Cindy. Cindy in particular was extremely kind and generous, making sure that everyone got to their desired destinations at the end of the day. With such service, I highly recommend bringing cash to tip all of your drivers. This company offers free shuttle service from your hotel. You just need to call for assistance. From 4-5pm the trolleys start filling up but in our case, the driver of the full trolley called for another one to pick us up which took about 10 min. The only thing I wish is that they had an app to see when the next trolley would be arriving. Especially when it's cold and rainy. read more

This was a great way to get around Savannah. We had three drivers and two of them were great. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Dick. He was rude, condescending, and impatient. Sorry Dick - you work in the hospitality industry. Either learn how to be hospitable or perhaps this isn't the job for you. He is the only reason I gave 3 stars. Avoid going on his trolley at all costs. read more

This is a good way to get an overall view of the city. I stayed on except for one stop, so I can't really speak to how they were on timing at stops. We did have to get off at stop one and wait in line and get on a new bus. I'm not sure if that's the case for every ride, but I had been hoping to stay on. A couple of drivers who stood out to me were JB and Butch. read more
