We started our visit to Savannah with this tour so that we could get our bearings. I'm not sure it served that purpose (I was all twisted around), but Jane did give us background on sites we later visited by foot. And it's a bargain when you can get the 2nd day pass for the same price. We didn't opt... More

My husband and I had a quick get away to Savannah. We had never visited before and wanted to do a tour to get an overview. I was looking for information and I came away with entertainment. Our driver, Pookie, was great. She made the history and sights in Savannah fun and memorable. If you are heading to Savannah, search... More

There are about five trolley tour services available, but Oglethorpe is the least expensive (about $19 for adults with advance reservations). That saves about $6 per person and the tour cov ers exactly the same attractions. They also offer a major advantage over the others. All tours offer on-and-off privileges so you can stop and visit attractions at your leisure,... More

The tour was wonderful and the tour guide John was very knowledgeable on the history of Savannah and even gave up directions on how to get out of the city for our stay at Tybee Island. I would recommend this tour company to everyone. More

Very informative and gives you a good overall tour of Savannah. My only complaint was that on the trip back to my vehicle I felt the driver was driving too fast and dangerous for my taste. He seemed a little less accomodating after the tour was over. More

We loved the set-up of this trolley service. I've taken other trolley tours in other cities and this one was the best. We got the full tour of the city and then they took us to the stop we wanted to go to. All we had to do was to call the shuttle service on when we wanted picked up... More

After one of the high-priced tour operators near the visitors center bad-mouthed Oglethorpe, we went to TA reviews, and found that most Oglethorpe customers were quite satisfied. So, we chose Oglethorpe for our intro to Savannah. The major difference is the Oglethorpe starts with a 1.5 hour narrated tour, with no on/off, whereas the others tell you about each area... More

Have done this tour and Old Towne Trolley tours several times. Both do an excellent job but Ogelthorpe is lower priced for very much the same tour. We even stopped for 10 minutes to see the Cathedral of St. John. More
