Oglethorpe - Gray Line Savannah Trolley Tours

Appearances can be deceiving, especially when it comes to Oglethorpe - Gray Line Savannah Trolley Tours' signature vehicles. They certainly look like classic open-air street trolleys, complete with bright blue exteriors and friendly drivers ready to greet each boarding passenger. But in reality, these nostalgic vehicles are more like oversized, revved up history books on wheels.

Oglethorpe - Gray Line Savannah Trolley Tours—a locally owned TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence 2013 award winner—takes participants into Savannah's historic past, rolling down the waterfront and through the full 2.2 square miles of the city's historic district. The drivers double as historians, and they illuminate the stories behind each point of interest. They point out old homes, such as the birthplace of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low and the home of Button Gwinnett, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and tell how Historic Colonial Park Cemetery became the final resting place for many of Savannah's earliest citizens. From start to finish, the signature Historic Savannah Trolley Tour lasts 90 minutes, and customers can prolong journeys into the past. Trolleys stop at key points throughout the city, and drivers invite passengers to hop on and off as often as they like.

When night falls, the streets explored by Oglethorpe - Gray Line Savannah Trolley Tours take on a spookier ambiance, one that is best explored during the Haunted Tour. Like the main tour, the dark adventure lasts 90 minutes, but it focuses exclusively on Savannah's haunted past and present. Entertaining guides spin tales of ghosts and famed citizens—long dead—who may still be walking Savannah's streets.
