My first time in Savannah. We were just there for the day and this excursion allowed us to see a lot of the old city without walking to much. The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. The riverboat tour especially nice. The package is an excellent value. Highly recommended.
It was a very nice experience and a great tour and I would recommend it to anyone that’s interested in learning about Savannah.
Everything was wonderful, tour guide was excellent, gospel dinner cruise was stupendous !!!!!!! I highly recommend 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The trolley tour was very historical. Would have liked to learn more about the current city of Savannah. The city is beautiful and the trolley tour saved us a lot of walking in the heat, but the narration would have been more enjoyable with more variety.
Thank you for choosing Gray Line.
The trolley and riverboat tours were both non stop, informative historical recounts. My sister and I are both seniors and found these tours very accommodating for elderly. We were extremely disappointed and frustrated when it came to catching the trolley after the riverboat tours. We were quite delayed getting off the riverboat due to docking issues which rushed us considerably to catch the trolley back to the visitor center. By the time we got to the stop, the trolley had left. We along with another couple, waited approximately 10 minutes before finding out the trolley left without us even though we made a beeline from the boat to the stop. I made a call only to find out we had to wait 2 1/2 hours for the next trolley to arrive. The other couple made a call and were told to go to a restaurant on another corner to catch the trolley they were sending. When the trolley arrived, they passed by us and indicated they would stop at the original location to pick us up, making us walk all the way back to the stop where we had been. It was an extremely warm day and no apology nor an offer of a cold drink was extended to us for the negligence in trolley service. The whole experience was tightly structured with no deviation from their schedule which can be a challenge for others with disabilities.
We are sorry to hear you missed the shuttle. The city has very specific rules on how long we are allowed to sit at each stop. We appreciate your feedback and again are very sorry.
Nice way to see Sacannah for the first time.
Thank you for choosing Gray Line!
Very informative. The trolley ride and the boat ride were exceptional. The driver of the trolley really knew Savannah and really enlightened us
We are happy to hear you had a great time! Thank you for choosing Gray Line.
Harry’s delivery was monotone, perfunctory, overly verbose and at some times incomprehensible. Not once were we asked if we had any questions. He even managed to get the bus stuck up against a stationary truck near River Street.
We are sorry to hear you had a negative experience. We appreciate your feedback.
We really enjoyed the bus tour of the city. It was a great overview of the area. I had hoped to be able to catch some photos of certain places, but the bus moved too quickly to finish the photos I wanted. That was the only drawback. The boat portion of the tour was not as good. I had chosen that combined experience to be able to see the river and hear about the history of the town and the river. Not only were we unable to see clearly through the windows of the boat, we could not understand the narrator because there was too much noise in the cabin. We were on the third floor of the boat. The only place I could hear clearly was the hallway near the restrooms by the elevator. My 87-year-old father heard nothing. We were very disappointed. Speaking of my father... I had called ahead and asked about mobility challenges and was informed that it would be an easy transition from the bus to the boat. That did not prove to be true. Only with his mobility "wheels" walker device and my help did he have enough support to make the transition from the drop off point to the visitor center on the riverfront and then across the cobblestones and rails to the dock. It was treacherous for him and I feared for his safety as we made our way across the street on the way to the boat and back to the pick up site. I definitely would not recommend that experience for anyone else with mobility challenges. It would be helpful to have listening devices for the ship, tuned to a specific radio frequency like at a drive-in movie, for the tour narration. Perhaps it would have been audible outside. We did not try that because it was nearly 100 degrees that day.
We appreciate your feedback. Thank you for choosing Gray Line.
Great narration on land and sea. Friendly and knowledgeable guides. Food and drinks expensive on board boat, so bring water on board.
Thank you for choosing Gray Line!
