Even as adults who attended Bama and have lived for decades in the state, we learned things we didn’t know. Fun to see things in T-town we knew nothing about.
Great experience! Will was a great tour guide with great information and insights into Tuscaloosa and the university! We really enjoyed the tour!
Will was a knowledgeable and empathetic tour guide! He took the time to explain the history that is often overlooked or removed from Tuscaloosa's history books. My wife and I really enjoyed this experience, we felt like we learned and saw a lot of interesting Tuscaloosa artifacts. Thank you, Will!
We had such a fantastic time on the historical golf cart tour in Tuscaloosa! From start to finish, the experience was fun, informative, and absolutely worth it. Will and his teammate went above and beyond to make sure we got our money’s worth. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the tour engaging the entire time. They did an amazing job navigating us around town while sharing interesting history and local insights that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing and storytelling. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area or even locals looking to learn something new. You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the tour!!
Golf cart was extremely loud, and the leather seats were torn up. Our guide read from a script and didn’t know how to pronounce many of the words or names of “historical” sites. We later learned that they do free historical walking tours every Saturday… we should have just done that.
Our guide just read off a script and was not able to answer simple questions. Did not really get much out of this tour. I would suggest another tour.
Thank you for this feedback. We want to make sure that we offer the most accurate tour and that you get the most out of it. Sorry if our guide didn’t have the whole tour memorized yet. Please email us and let us know more ways to improve info@joyridebama.com
3rd time doing this super fun tour and we had the BEST guide! Callista!. Wanted to give a shout out to Cindy, the manager at the Tuscaloosa JOYRIDE who went over and above in helping us arrange for our timing and calling in Callista to the rescue! This is always a fabulous way to get to see the beautiful University of Alabama campus! Thank you for the adventure!
Thank you so much
Tour guide never showed. Now I have to figure out how to get my money back. Disappointed to say the least. This is the second time trying to do a tour in Tuscaloosa.
Rebecca!! Omg I'm so sorry....we just started our Viator/Trip Advisor account back up and for some reason the booking confirmations have been going to our spam so we didn't even see it. I sincerely apologize and if you're still in town we'd like to offer you a free tour as well as your refund which we'll process immediately.
