Mel Bell…a fantastic conductor!!! Spoke distinctly, was kind, considerate, funny, wonderful in all ways. If I visit Savannah again, I sure hope I get to ride her trolley again. She made my family and I seem like we were old friends with her in that short time we were riding with her…
A big shout out to Armando on the Old Town Trolley. It was a rainy day, but Armando made the sun shine with his animated and informative presentation. We had the best time ever on a trolley tour… It was the highlight of our trip!
Our tour guide Eric was so energetic!!! He made the tour! So knowledgeable about the city of Savannah and its history! He would burst into song on a whim and interacted with everyone. He kept 3 teenagers entertained for 90 minutes… Our family highly recommends this tour and if possible hop on his trolley bus!
Thank you for providing Brenda as a tour guide… In our two days of utilizing your wonderful service, we were blessed to come across Brenda several times, and each time her tour was phenomenal. She is a great historian and storyteller, and by far the best tour guide we have had the pleasure to experience.
We truly enjoyed the tour… but we must say it was made wonderful by our tour guide. He “narrated” the tour as someone who is reading a story. He was great!!! His tone and friendly manner made his knowledge shine even more. He gave us so much information, entertaining us, that we can’t believe he didn’t gasp for air to continue. Well done tour guide!!…
…We recently took a trip to Savannah with relatives from MN. We took a tour on the trolley with the intention of getting off and on multiple times. Our tour guide was so amazing and knowledgeable, that we stayed on the entire 90 min tour. Our guide was Will. He deserves to be recognized for his great attitude, knowledge, representation of the Old Town Trolley, and his presentation skills…
Ruben was our conductor and I just had to write in to compliment his work. He was enthusiastic and gave a terrifically entertaining tour of lovely Savannah. No one wanted to get off at any of the stops…
Just visited Savannah for first time on our honeymoon. We had Denise as one of our drivers and we absolutely loved her. She was very informative and hilarious. She truly exemplified Southern hospitality and culture and we hope to visit again soon and hope to find Denise on the trolley… a job well done!
I recently had a long layover at the Savannah Airport so I took the opportunity to wander around. I did the right thing by taking the trolley tour first. Cindy was our conductor and no one wanted to leave! She was FUNNY and informative. The accent just made it all better as she told us about the ‘winders’ in the buildings. Great fun.
My grandson and I took the trolley tour and our first and last conductor was Cindy. She was FABULOUS!!!…my grandson was actually excited when we got on the last bus. He said, “Look, it’s Cindy.” She knew every nook and cranny and had so many stories to tell about the areas that we saw. We totally enjoyed our tour and will definitely do another one when we return…
We just wanted to make sure you were aware of the exceptional service provided by your trolley tour guide Net… She was not only knowledgeable, polite, and considerate to all passengers, but she was funny, and interacted with the trolley passengers and kept everyone on board engaged and entertained…
My sister and I recently visited Savannah and decided to try out the Trolley Tour and we are so happy we did! Our tour guide was Mel Bell and she is FABULOUS! Not only did she fill us with more historical facts than we will ever remember but she was so much fun! She was entertaining and kept the ride lively.
Mel was a terrific tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and full of joy – everyone wanted to stay on her trolley for every stop because she made it such a fun experience… she deserves a raise.
We had the pleasure of having Cainan as our tour guide. He was very informative and lively. His personality was so enjoyable. We weren’t planning to ride the whole tour in one sitting, but Cainan was so entertaining we ended up riding the whole route with him.
…I decided to write you directly and tell you how much we enjoyed our two day tour on your trolleys. Each conductor told a little different story as we traveled along. That made the whole experience more interesting. Thank you and your staff for a wonderful experience for our first time in Savannah.
Jennie was super personable and friendly!! I was laughing my butt off the entire time. Her Trolley Jolly and the Forest Gump jokes really cracked me up!! Came down for the Tattoo Convention, but after Jennie’s ride, it made me wanna come back to experience her tour of Savannah. Great Job!!

The main tourist street in Savannah is none other than River Street. It’s a bustling cobblestone street that runs parallel to the Savannah River, spanning for about a mile. This street is a hub of activity and a must-visit destination for tourists. There’s always something going on, whether it’s a street performer entertaining the crowds, a lively festival, or a boat tour.

One of the prettiest streets in Savannah is Jones Street, the epitome of southern grace and elegance. This charming street has been named the “Prettiest Street in America” by both Southern Living magazine and Holiday magazine. It’s located in the heart of the Historic District and is lined with beautiful historic homes, gorgeous trees with winding branches and quaint shops. The street is famous for its mix of Federal-, Italianate-, and Romanesque Revival-style homes built in the mid-19th century. No matter where you look, the street is graceful and stunning. It hasn’t changed much since it was founded, and it maintains its historical charm with its cobblestone street and moss-draped live oak trees.
Savannah’s historic landmarks, winding lanes, and tragic past have led to countless ghost sightings and eerie happenings — all waiting for you to explore at nightfall. From famous crimes to Civil War battles and the Yellow Fever outbreaks of the late 1800s, our Ghosts & Gravestones tour guides will take you through the city’s most supernatural sites with hair-raising stories that will keep you on edge throughout the tour. You’ll zoom through the city, driving by popular haunted locations such as Colonial Park Cemetery, and stops at the Andrew Low House and Perkins & Sons Ship Chandlery. And, as night takes over, the darkness outside makes the experience feel more authentic with the silence accentuating each story’s ominous tone. Your eyes will strain as you stare outside in the hope of catching a glimpse of a ghostly apparition. Additionally, in Savannah, the city’s lampposts along the streets and the hanging moss swaying in the breeze will set your imagination into high gear as you imagine all sorts of ghostly happenings.
