Great way to see the city! - This was a great way to hear about the history of Savannah and see the sites! You can hop on and off the trolley at anytime but we chose to stay on it for the full 90 minutes. Then we hoped off and visited the sites we were interested in seeing. Such a charming city with lots of history. Highly recommend doing the trolley, especially if you are a first time visitor!

A must use when in Savannah - I have been to Savannah twice and both times we used the trolly. On our last trip we got the 2 day pass so we could use for transportation when things were a little far to walk. We loved getting the stories from different drivers because even tho the stories are the same, each driver puts their spin on it. Heading back down to Savannah again next year and I will definitely be using the trolly again!

We would do this GREAT tour again!! - We had such a plethora of information. Megan was so knowledgeable, kind and patient. The "bus" was very comfortable. They put another bus right behind ours to pick up any over flow, so no one had to wait.

The only way to see Savannah!! - Short on time? Hop on the trolley and see it all!! My best friend and my daughter (9 yo) and I had one day to explore historic downtown Savannah. After looking at the map and thinking of all the things we wanted to see - the Old Town Trolley Hop on Hop off Tour was the only way to go! We approached the desk and asked for more information and I had no idea that this was a fleet of trolleys that ran all day long. You could stay at a stop for 15 minutes and wait for the next trolley or you could stay for three hours and get on a trolley. It’s the most economical and practical way to see historic downtown Savannah. I would’ve been so stressed out trying to walk and drive to all of these sites myself. We bundled in the Prohibition Museum and it was so cool and educational! Our tour guide Josh “smiles for miles” did a great job filling us in on the history and uniqueness of the area. Josh really has a gift for making each person on his trolley feel special and important as he forms a relationship and rapport with them all while wielding a trolley bus through downtown traffic. I wish we could’ve spent all day with him, but luckily the trolley that we took to get back to our starting point was Josh and he was still smiling!! We used the service from 10 AM in the morning until 5 PM in the afternoon and were able to fully immerse ourselves in the Savannah experience! We shopped the Market after the Prohibition Museum at River Street we got our fortune from Voltar - you may remember him from the movie Big (also Tom Hanks) and spent way too much money at the candy shop. We had a delicious late lunch at the Pirates house and a local brew. It was a great day and I can’t wait to return to Savannah and do another tour! I would ride these trolleys in any city that they service - it was that great!!

A great way to move through Savannah - While the price was more than expected, it was certainly worth it. We jumped on at Trolley Stop 10 and rode the entire loop to get our bearings. The drivers are courteous, informative, and were very helpful. Your best option is park at the visitor center/Trolley Stop #1. We were only visiting for a day and didn't get to cover as much as we would have liked. Next visit!

Fun and informative - We jumped on and off a couple of times. Had 2 drivers (Greg and Jared) who were both informative and entertaining. The tour gave us a chance to learn about the city and to help us determine specific locations we wanted to spend more time at during our stay.

Afternoon visit of historic Savanah, GA - We were picked up at our B&B, The Catherine Ward House by a van operated by Old Town Trolley and brought to the visitor center which saved us from walking to get to first trolley stop. We had a great driver on our trolley ride throughout Savanah who was very funny and knowledgeable about the history of the city. There are 15 stops that the trolley covers in about 90 minutes with narration of homes, squares, and people regarding the history of the city. I would highly recommend this trolley as a great way to see the historic sections of Savanah.

Found it difficult to find trolley stops after we hopped off. Suggest adding exact addresses for trolley stop locations on your maps.

Sisters Trip - It was difficult to hear the tour guide. Map needs additional land marks and streets to be able to navigate to next stop. I would probably do the tour next time and not do hop on hop off.

Terrible! - No inclement weather policy or response. If the weather turns bad this company has nothing in place to keep you safe or to refund your money despite not being able to provide any of what it promises or advertises. We bought tickets early in the day and planned to use it as suggested as hop on, hop off throughout the city to view different points of interest. We had brunch first and headed over to the first stop on the tour. While waiting in line to board the weather started shifting. It became cloudier and we started to have some light sprinkles of rain. As soon as we hopped on a light rain shower began, we felt lucky to get on but noticed people were left waiting in line where there was no covering from the rain. At first we were able to lower the plastic coverings over the windows and the rain was light enough that we could still see through the windows. So we figured we would just experience the tour with some rain and that seemed fine. But then we realized there was no ventilation and everything began to get cloudy including the drivers windows. She had to use a towel to wipe off the condensation every couple of minutes. The rain shower quickly turned into a storm with thunder and lightning which we experienced more than 5 times within 100 feet of the trolley, and then the streets started flooding. 30 mins into the ride people were getting anxious about the lightning strikes and the driver’s ability to drive safely through the storm with her limited visibility. The trolley was full, so when we stopped at designated points people tried to get on but the driver had to tell them they couldn’t get on even though they were soaking wet. The driver tried to keep her composure and give her tour speech as she was driving but it was hard for her to focus on that and driving safely through that terrible weather. Then we got stuck on a side street in about a foot and a half of water and had to wait there for about 25 minutes for another employee to arrive and for the rain to go down to help our driver back out of the street. As we moved on from there a passenger asked about a scheduled stop where she left her car and the driver announced that stop had been missed to which this person realized they would either have to get off and walk in the rain or stay on the trolley for another hour to circle back around to her car. The rain finally calmed down an hour into the drive and we had only made it to stop 4 so we recognized we needed to get off at this point because it was either stay on this trolley and continue with this terrible experience and risk the rain restarting or just take a walk back to our cars. We understand no one controls the weather but this company can do a much better job of controlling their schedule when rainstorms and specifically thunderstorms are in the forecast. They should not have allowed us to buy tickets or board the trolley in this kind of weather or at the very least have a policy to stop and reroute the tour to a safe and covered area until the bad weather passes. Lastly customer service was awful as well. I called them in the middle of the ride and I asked about refund options and was told this was very unlikely to happen but I could submit an online request, which I did and never received a response to. I also expressed our concerns about the safety of our driver and from the lightning strikes and she said “yeah it’s raining here too”. No empathy or respect for the legitimate concern of the passengers safety. Terrible experience!
