Best Savannah Tours

Best Sightseeing Tour – Old Town Trolley Tours

Our venerable green and orange trolleys consistently rank at the top of things to do in Savannah and, once you embark on one, it’s easy to see why. With the single largest fleet in the city, you’ll spend less time waiting and more time sightseeing. The friendly and knowledgeable conductors will take you on a fully narrated journey filled with humor and history as you explore the must-see sights of Georgia’s First City. A really handy, time-saving component built into this tour is the freedom to hop on and hop off at any of the 15 stops they service.

This means you can take as much time as you like taking in the elegant fountain at Forsyth Park then continue your journey when the next trolley shows up! This delightful foray through one of the South’s signature cities includes highlights such as the historic waterfront district, The Massie Heritage Museum that once stood as the city’s first public school and as a Union hospital when Federal troops occupied Savannah during the Civil War, and the Cathedral of St. John The Baptist, an architectural masterpiece founded in 1700. These and many more historical monuments and landmarks can be seen and explored on this entertaining and comprehensive tour.
