We’ve done hop on hop off tours during another visit and left feeling like we learned nothing about Savannah. This stay on the trolley ride was way more informative and fun! Then the river cruise was fun and even more history! Be forewarned, the food on the riverboat if you didn’t pay for the sit down lunch was pitiful and disgusting.

We had a very knowledgeable tour guide, they pick up at your hotel and will shuttle you around to all the spots on the tour when it’s over

Learning the history of the area was very interesting. I was very surprised when the fort shot a cannon across the bow. Beautiful place. We can’t wait to come back.

We enjoyed both tours, but the tour on the water was the best. We had already walked the city so the bus tour took us past places we had already been. But it would be good to have the bus tour first, to see what you want to visit by foot
