Do this on your first day visiting Savannah! - Outstanding tour! The guide was knowledgeable, and gave out tons of places to go see in addition to the historical portion (restaurants, cafes and shopping also). The open top sprinter van was a wonderful way to see the city, and you could look up and see all the beautiful trees. For the rest of the day and the following, there was a taxi bus service to take you to different points on the tour (included with the tour). Highly recommend!!

A must for first time visitors! - The open top tour was nice cause you could see Savannah without the obstruction of the roof! I wish we did this tour upon first arrival to Savannah cause the guide hit on many highlights and we could have planned the rest of the week on her recommendations. She pointed out many local restaurants and out of the way spots that are not on many town guides. She had a lovely German accent that added to the experience! We will be back and this will be our first stop!

Very relaxed and... - Very relaxed and informative tour. Our guide Max was very well versed on the area. Could understand every word, and corny jokes, he spoke.

Wonderful Family Reunion Tour - Great 90 minute introduction to the city of Savannah for our family reunion. Everyone raved about the tour! Afterwards we felt comfortable walking parts of the historic district. We parked at the Savannah History Museum public lot, which was a short walk to the Gray line building. Once you pick this tour they will also provide free shuttle service between local hotels & major tour stops.

Great way to see and learn about Savannah's History - The tour guide was friendly and knowledgable! I loved that they were willing to pick me up and drop me off directly at my hotel vs another trolley company said I had to go to their stop points. I would definitely recommend the city tour to others.

Highly Recommend - Such a great tour! Stephanie was our guide, and she asked us if we wanted to open the bus or not. We opted to open it, and it was a great choice. It was cold, but so worth the views! She even suggested a stop at the famous church, which was worth getting off to see! Thanks so much!

Great tour with a sub-par restaurant - Dolphin tour was great even though probably not the best time of the year to see dolphins. The bus tour part was very informative. The only downfall was the crab shack. The food was ok. Service was slow, Had a bad smell of seafood in the trash, not the smell of fresh cooked fish. Also a lot of flies in the restaurant. Probably would’ve given top rating if the restaurant was better. Overall 65. Per person and gone over 6 hours was a pretty good value.

Nice but not a photo opportunity - Because attendance was low during the off season, the 90 min tour in an enclosed van was shifted to a 1 hr tour in an open trolley at the last minute. (FYI, There are cheaper trolley rides available). It was comfortable enough on a 70-degree morning so that it worked out. The driver guide was pleasant & had a good patter. The real disappointment was the number of parked construction and delivery vehicles on all the small, colonial streets. Taking pictures is a waste of time. Best way to enjoy (any) Savannah city tour is just to put your phone away, just look and listen.
