"Old" Tybee - All the historic info given was much more than expected, and gladly learned. Excellent "guide/owner". The use of the cart was much better than a "trolley".

Just book it! - Jac was an amazing guide. We learned so much. Do this first then enjoy the rest of the Island. The golf cart was comfortable and covered a lot of the north end of the island.

Relaxing, enjoyable & informational! - This was a really good way to end our stay on Tybee Island. Jack was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable and gave us a nice leisurely tour in a 8-seater golf cart. I highly recommend this!

Amazing Tybee Island tour - Wow! One of the best tours we have ever taken, if not the best, and we’ve been on a lot of tours. Our guide, Jac, was a very good speaker, knowledgeable, and passionate about the island. I can’t recommend this tour high enough.

The best tour we have been on! - The history told by Jac. She really is a great story teller. You can tell that she loves her job. It was non stop history told by someone who actually lives there.

History and fun! - I have been to Tybee several times and this tour added so much to my knowledge of the island's history. Jac is an excellent guide who shares her knowledge with humor! She makes learning fun! As a local herself she can answer questions and provide info on places to eat, etc. Jac is the best!
