 Old Savannah Tours &
Transportation Trolley by deecat
Our overview tour was with Old Savannah Tours & Transportation which is locally owned and operated. They have been in business for over twenty years and have experienced, well-informed tour guides. In addition, they offer both overview and on-off tours.
We took the Overview Tour which gave us the history of two and one half centuries (Early Colonial, Civil War, Reconstruction up to Present Times). We were able to see from the outside many mansions, almost all of the squares, the riverfront, the the City Market.
We were able to ask questions, and our guide answered all the many questions asked. Our tour lasted about 90 minutes. We were in an Open Air Trolley. They also have Mini-Buses and Limousines.

 On Old Town Trolley tour by ZanieOR
Though somewhat expensive, we took the Old Town Trolley for a tour around Savannah as a way to get oriented and to see most of the sights at once with a little bit of an overview.
The Old Town Trolley allows people to get on and off if there’s something you want to spend more time at. The tour guide pointed out many historical houses and other sites, and seemed quite informed about the city’s history.
The photo I have said the price is $22 per person for adults, but the Web site said they are $18.50 discounted and I think that’s what we paid; e-tickets are available ahead of time.
I still have a free paper fan they gave us on the trolley, which I kept as a souvenir.
The trolley operates 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily (closed St. Patrick’s Day). There are group and charter rates available. Old Town Trolley also operates in other cities.
There are 14 stops throughout the city (including one very near our B&B) Leave a Comment

 Red door in Savannah by AzonieLeave a Comment

As thrifty tourists, we have appreciated the free Cat Shuttle of Savannah.
The bus goes almost everywhere in the historic district. The complete route has 30 stops and the bus passes each 20 min. The shuttle stops at 6:30PM and begins around 7AM.
It is one way bus. So you must not be in a hurry.
We forgot something in the shuttle (see picture : Monique has an envelop in hand when she was waiting for the bus). The day after, the driver said "you have forgotten someting in my bus" and gave back us the envelop.
We took several times the shuttle. Each time, there was a man or a woman who talked with the driver. May be the Company paid an employee to amuse the driver and to avoid he was bored by the same itinerary... Leave a Comment

 Carraige ride by tpangelinanLeave a Comment Theme: Other

The trolley is a nice mode of transportation around the inner city. They get you to your destinations stops in little hassle while you can take in the city sites. For the starter getting around Svaannah, this seems like the way to go and later get off and wlak to the places you saw and wanted to go back to. Theme: Bus
