    Old Savannah Tours

    Old Savannah Tours is the largest Savannah-owned and operated company, and their large white trolleys have been a Savannah staple since 1979. Voted best tour every year since 2003, their tours are developed by Savannah locals, with stops throughout the city.

    • The Historic On/Off Tour is their most popular option, as it offers guests the chance to hop off the trolley at any of the 15 stops in the Historic District to take a closer look around, or ride for the full 90-minute experience. With introductions to famous historical characters giving personal accounts in period-specific costumes, the Historic On/Off Tour (and its non-on/off counterpart the Historic Overview Tour) provide a fascinating, succinct, and immersive look into Savannah’s past.
    • If you prefer a more comprehensive venture, we recommend the three-hour Savannah Experience In addition to the Historic District, this tour covers Savannah’s Victorian District, Thomas Square neighborhood restoration, the Beach Institute, and Victory Drive. Give yourself permission to slow down and soak up all the sites during this thorough excursion through the city.

    • Did you know that Savannah is the birthplace of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low? Scouts of all ages are invited to learn more about the original Girl Guide as they explore the Andrew Low House and Girl Scout Headquarters on the Discover Savannah Girl Scout Tour.
    • Calling all lovers of historic art and architecture! The History & Architecture Package combines the perks of the Historic On/Off Tour with tickets to tour National Historic Landmark the Owens-Thomas House, as well as free admission to Telfair Academy Museum, and contemporary gallery Jepson Center for the Arts.
