Don't arrive too early....

Don't arrive too early. You have to pay to park anywhere on the island except at the meeting point, the Sugar Shack. This is a golf cart tour bring a way, sunglasses and sunscreen. The guide was very knowledgeable and personable.

A Pure Joy!

Wow! What a great experience! I didn't have a clue at all the history of Tybee Island I would learn. Our guide (forgive me, I forgot her name) was amazing. A former history professor...she knew her stuff! I would highly recommend this tour.
