About the operator
- Donerae T00A different sort of ghost tourA different sort of Ghost tour. We have done ghost tours before, often. This was different in that once you drove around for a while, you became part of an immersive theatre experience that acted out some of the stories you heard and elaborated on them. I was with my husband and 37 year son and all three of us enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend
- Diana S00Take a convertible for this drive!A 400 oak tree-lined dirt road! Drive slowly through… It is awe-inspiring! We almost didn’t go here but so glad we did. At the end of the road are facilities, gift shop and short hiking trails. It was a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of tourist in town. We recommend taking the trails and just enjoying the natural outdoor beauty.
- Harajukukawaii2200Spooky Fun!We discovered this while watching YouTube. This is one of the most awesome things to do in Savannah. My family and I have been coming here for 20 years. I recommend EVERYONE make this part of your Savannah experience. Great Fun, while also getting more history from the most Haunted City in America. The Kelly Gray Line Trolley took us on this adventure, one like no other Trolley Tour in Savannah. Our Trolley driver Brenda was AWESOME 😎. Hats off to the cast & crew, as this is one of most awesome experiences I've had in Savannah. Bravo 👏👏👏
- Cruiser4900153204300Savannah Tour GuideOur tour guide, Ben, was superb! Very knowledgeable about the history of Savannah and very accommodating to the tourist on board his coach. Highy recommend this tour.
- karencQ130XR00Nice tourThis is a very informative tour. We learned a lot about Savannah and it's history. Our guide was knowledgeable. It would have been nice to have some complimentary bottles of water on the tour, especially after our guide made a point of telling us to stay hydrated and how dangerous the heat was. She also could've slowed down a bit to allow us to take pictures as she pointed out landmarks. Overall a nice tour, and it included free shuttle service for 48 hrs, which was a nice bonus.
- Lacey S00Educational and adventurous!Dennis was amazing! It was an educational and adventurous tour! We had so much fun learning the history of Savannah while being able to take in all the amazing views!!
- JessicaKay951900Beautiful!Beautiful trees, amazing views. We went right at closing time and the park worker let us go in and take some pictures for free before they closed. Beautiful place for photos.
- unless informat... a00Worth it. Just read what your doing so u know! But 100% worth it!Our tour bus guy Chris I think his name was, he is amazing! We wanted to float at the beach so if you're not into the shopping(we have plenty by our hotel) we just took an hour to swim. The dolphin cruise is so amazing they were kind and funny(except for when they say you're not sober, when you don't drink and are just silly having fun with your bestie) but other then that this is well worth it! Do it ! Worth it worth don't forget to tip your drivers and your crew!!!
- Daydream50863200EnjoyableThis was a fantastic time. Well worth the money. Our family of 10 adults and 2 children under 6 had a great day with a lunch at the crab shack, boat tour to see many dolphins, so close to the boat, it was unbelievable and finished with a swim in the calm warm ocean water at north beach. Our tour guide Dennis was fabulous!
- sandrasE1112GP00very good tour a must if going to TybeeOur driver was excellent Stephanie! Very knowledgeable. And we saw so many Dolphins. The crab shack was great food even if you don't eat sea food. Brisket and pulled pork were very good.
- LeaTamara00Great tour of Savannah!Great tour guide with a lot of interesting facts about beautiful Savannah. Also good that the shuttle from the hotel to the tour bus was included. Recommend it!
- K816WQalexs00Wonderful tour of Bonaventure and WormsloeA ton of beautiful scenery, a wonderful lunch spot, and best of all, one of the most knowledgeable and personable tour guides I've ever met. Dennis was phenomenal! Cannot say enough about his depth of knowledge and love of the subject matter. It was a little like trying to get a drink out of a fire hose, but we learned a lot!
- not-naturally-red00What a Fun Day!Chris was the best tour guide, from the minute we left the meeting place. Even the ride out to the island was fun and we had time to get to know some of our fellow travelers well, which made the day even better. First a quick stop at the lighthouse, where we were only given a few minutes to take pictures. Then lunch at the Crab Shack. Food was OK, but it was such a fun setting, it made up for not being blown away by the food. Captain Derek's dolphin tour with DJ was amazing. We saw several pods of dolphins, including many babies, as they swam and leapt alongside the boat. Would have liked a little more time at the beach. It was fun to be able to dip our feet in the water, but that part of the trip felt rushed. Would still give the trip a 5!
- Hoosier197700Great Guide, Great Day!Dennis was our tour guide for Bonaventure Cemetery Tour and Wormsloe Historic Site. He was very knowledgeable of both locations and was answered all of the guests questions. You could tell he has a heart for history. Would recommend 100%.
- Voyager3374984475900Great for teens / young adultsAn awesome experience, not just a tour. I went to take me teen kids and they loved it. The show was super entertaining and it made their trip. Brenda the driver was great, the trolley tour was crammed with info and then the show was super fun. Recommended

After a wrong stop, we did find the right location for this tour finally. Be aware there are a LOT of tour companies in one small area!
Our guide, Stephanie was good for the land touring portion, and we truly appreciated the open top van as the 2 people in front of us stunk with cigarette smoke. They were also the ones that arrived 10 minutes late AND came back to the van late from the one and only stop we made. Not the companies fault, but these 2 delays prevented anyone on the tour from getting a little lunch at the many fun places on River street before boarding the river cruise. (No hour and a half gap as promoted) If your policy is arrive on time or be left behind, you need to stick to it! The tour itself was informative and a quick overview of all the squares and historic buildings.
We did not like the "drop and run" end portion of the tour. Several of us wandered up and down River street trying to find the right 'blue awning' we were told to go to register for the riverboat. This needs to be rethought out by Gray Line. Along that line, a better system needs to be put in place for returning to the visitor center. I KNOW we were told about the DOT system, but there weren't enough maps for us all, and, I'm sorry, but all this information being verbally conveyed in a rushed manner as we were stopped at the river drop off point made it a bit stressful. Perhaps a nice handout would help ease the confusion? (It wasn't just us)
The Riverboat was just okay. I had thought there would be much more history information instead of the shipping industry spiel we heard. I would not recommend this for any families with small children - they'll be bored after 15 minutes. I will say, though, that the food available was reasonably priced and large portions.
All in all, I don't think this was a good value for what we paid. I wish
now that we had done the hop-on hop-off trolly instead.

Hi, there. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. We're not wild about smoky smelling passengers, either. We appreciate your suggestions about maps and we'll pass them on to management. We hope you enjoyed Savannah in the spring time :)

This trip was in response to a particularly tough work week. I needed to get away and had never been to Savannah so it was time. Savannah did not disappoint. I booked my tour after I had arrived (around midnight the night before). I called to confirm the next morning and the lady who answered was so helpful answering any questions I had. The Land tour was excellent. Bob, our guide, knew everything. He delivered all the interesting facts in an amusing and thoroughly entertaining way. I was dropped off in front of the Riverboat for the Sea portion of the tour with enough time to enjoy a delicious seafood lunch. For future reference, if you haven't downloaded and printed your Riverboat tickets then you will have to take your e-ticket over to the Riverboat "store" as you need a paper ticket to board the Riverboat. It's not an issue and again, the staff were very helpful. The Guide on the boat clearly loves his job and was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. I will definitely book this tour again and I have told my co-workers about this tour. Absolutely excellent!

As this was our first trip to Savannah, we opted to do this tour. The Kelly Tours/Gray Line shuttle picked us up right at the front door of our hotel and took us to the visitors center where the tour began. Our driver/narrator, Julie, was great! She was a lifelong resident of Savannah and had a wealth of information. Her love for her city is quite evident and I’m super impressed that she could drive and talk for 90 minutes. The narrator for the riverboat portion was also informative as well as very humorous.
There was an added bonus for taking this tour that’s not mentioned on TA. We were given wristbands that were good for two days that enabled us to use the Kelly Tours/Gray Line shuttle for pickups and/or drop offs at any of the tour stops. So on day 2, all we had to do was call the number on the brochure we were given and within 5 minutes they picked us up at the stop closest to our hotel and dropped us off at the River Street stop, and then did the same for us to return to our hotel, and actually dropped us off at the front door of our hotel. You could traverse the whole city utilizing their free shuttle. My husband has some mobility issues and this service greatly decreased the amount of walking we had to do.
I think a disclaimer should be added to the tour description for people with back issues. The trolley does a lot of driving over the stone paved streets close to the river, which makes for a very rough ride. My husband did experience some back issues due to the rough ride.

Right? We can't even walk and chew gum so we have no idea how our amazing drivers can pull off these tours without missing a beat. We are sorry your husband's back didn't agree with River Street -- it's pretty tough to navigate those stones. But delighted you enjoyed the tours and utilized our complimentary shuttle. Thanks for the review! Come back and visit us again.

We had a great tour! Our trolley tour guide was Dan (We called him Lieutenant Dan like out of Forrest Gump)! He was very knowledgeable and friendly! He taught us a lot about Savannah history in a fun way! We were also delighted to learn that we could get shuttles all over the city for the rest of the day just because we scheduled a tour. It was very convenient. They even picked us up at our hotel!
The Riverboat Cruise was also nice as we learned a lot about shipping and industry in Savannah. the views are gorgeous as well.
Two things to note:
1. The person inside the Riverboat Cruise shop (who is not employed by Gray Line!) was quite rude. We already had our tickets but we went inside to buy a bottle of water. The girl behind the desk was on the phone and didn't acknowledge us until we tapped on the glass to get her attention. She should have seen us on her own. Other people trying to get tickets complained that she wouldn't acknowledge them either because she was still on the phone. When the other employee was notified of the rude behavior, they were instructed to "just wait."
2. We were assured by 3 different shuttle drivers that one would be available to take us back to the hotel even though it was after their shuttle hours. When we got off the boat, there wasn't a shuttle there. We called the phone number and it stated it was after hours. We had a loooong walk back to our hotel room. ***We did talk to the Gray Line company and they apologized profusely. They said they didn't know what went wrong that night as there is usually a shuttle to pick people back up.
Other than these 2 "hitches" it was a lovely experience and we would definitely do it again. Parking in Savannah can be hard to find so the shuttles are convenient.

This was super easy to book online. When we got there there were multiple company tour buses easily identified with signs set up in the tourist center parking lot. Note, online it says that there is an attendant to take your fees for parking. It's actually just one of the automated ticket dispensers. The first hour is free make sure to increase the amount of time to ensure you're paying for a full day being there. I believe 7 hours easily covered our day. Our name was our ticket and they simply gave us a band to board the trolleys during the day. The open-air historical tour with Kathleen was fabulous. She was funny and Incredibly informative. The closed shuttles were very convenient taking you to and from which ever stop you needed to go to. The Riverboat tour again, the tour guide was fabulous and informative. The extent of knowledge was appreciated. Not to mention the views were beautiful, instructions were easy . This is definitely something would do again and well WORTH the money.

Our Trolley tour was fun & very interesting, because Big Scott added his own stories & historical knowledge to the tour! We learned quite a lot about the various areas in & around Savannah & then we knew which areas we wanted to investigate further on our own! The many squares are lovely & the Azaleas were just beginning to bloom - it will be magnificent near the last of March!
The Georgia Queen Paddle wheel cruise was also very interesting & the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the river, shipping along the river, & the history of Savannah.
We had a little over an hour between tours & I would suggest a very quick lunch & then get in line to board the ship early. As the people board, they load the ship from bottom to top. When we arrived, the two lower levels were full & we had to go to level 3 (inside with not much A/C) or 4 (top deck). If it is sunny & hot, (which it was!) there were a few tables with umbrellas left, but most of the seating was taken. So, get there early to find seating which you prefer.

Having never spent any time in Savannah, we decided doing a tour would be a good start.
The Tram portion of the tour drove around the historic district which is very picturesque. Our driver/guide was pleasant and friendly. I was disappointed that we didn’t really have time to explore or take photos at individual locations. There are no stops during the trams tour.
The River boat part of the tour was very pleasant and informative, the tour narrator was very knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. The Georgia Queen is a 1,000 passenger River boat and it was packed! The weather was sunny and quite a bit warmer than we anticipated so we went into the indoor area after about 30 minutes in the upper deck. You can hear the narration indoors and out.
Important note: Be sure to redeem your voucher for your boat ticket before you get in line to board. There was some confusion about that since our Tram driver didn’t really explain the process. The voucher does not substitute for an actual ticket.

We're so glad to hear that you had a great time on your tour, thank you for the feedback! Next time, we do have a shuttle that can bring you back to any locations for free, included in the price of your ticket but unfortunately, the city of Savannah is pretty strict with where we can slow down or stop during a tour.

We did the Land & Sea Combo tour. The trolley tour through the city was great, and our tour guide was informative and entertaining. The riverboat cruise was entirely forgettable though and I would highly recommend skipping it. They also need to do a better job at explaining the logistics of the two tours. We assumed that the trolley tour would take us back to the starting point but it doesn't... it drops you off near the river cruise even though you have either 1.5 hours or 4 hours depending on what cruise time you choose. So make sure you pay for plenty of parking time since you might not get back to the visitor's center until late in the day.

This was first visit for my mother and I to Savannah and we wanted to see as much as we could in an afternoon. The land portion of the tour was great. My mother and really enjoyed it; our tour guide was really informative and shared stories and interesting background of the city. I would highly recommend the land portion. The riverboat was just OK. If you’ve never been on a riverboat you might find it a good experience (check that off your list). The land and wildlife you see is beautiful but our tour guide was what I would described as “dry”. True, the gentleman was well informed but felt like he was just reading from a textbook. Even my mother stated she felt like she’d been listening to a high school history lecture instead of a fun tour. Note: food and drinks are available. However due to labor shortages there was only one bartender to get take ALL beverage and food orders. The poor girl was going as fast as she could , but that is a long wait with so many people. That is not anyone’s fault; all businesses are having labor shortage but consider bringing your own drinks or snacks rather than wait in long line.

The Kelly trolley tour was quite nice - 5 stars. Kathleen, the driver and narrator, was informative, giving site information, historical stories, and humorous anecdotes throughout the tour. The cruise portion was also narrated by a crew member and, when we could hear it, interesting. Unfortunately there was a large group of Very loud, somewhat drunk, older New Yorkers who gradually cleared the main portion of the open upper deck of the boat of almost everyone but themselves because no one could hear the narration, much less hear themselves think. Luckily, there was a nice, relatively quiet, indoor area on the next deck down that was comfortable and air conditioned. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant and informative way to spend an afternoon.

Hi, I am trying to book combo (hop on off and river cruise) for July 5, 2022. Is that available? When I went to pay it transferred my day from July 5th to July 6.

I don't know. I don't work for them.
Do we have time to go back to hotel in historic district before doing the river boat?

Why go back to the hotel when you can enjoy the fine restaurants on the river before you get on the boat? you will love it.

Hi,
I see that the cost is per adult. What about children under six are they free? Also the land tour is it not a hop on hop off set up? Could you also describe a little bit more concerning parking and where to be picked up for the land tour and how do you get back to the visitor center from the river boat tour?
We’re hoping to book for this Sunday depending on the feedback we get from you and hoping to book by tomorrow. Thanks.

Not sure about children's cost. The trolley tour is not hop on and off, however there are stops where you can get a shuttle back to the visitors center if you go exploring on your own. We parked at the visitors center and it was the least cost and also where we got on the trolley. We were dropped off at the end of the trolley tour at the River to catch the boat tour. A phone number was provided to call for a shuttle pick up. It is a fairly easy walk around the historic district from the river to the visitors center provided you make a few rest stops. (I’m a senior and I was okay) however if walking is an issue then you can take advantage of the shuttle. For us the trolley tour was great but the boat tour was just okay.

We are driving from Atlant and may not arrive before 10 am. Is it possible to do both tours in the afternoon instead of morning?
