Quote: We, again, boarded this tour at the visitor center. Our tour guide was Gail, and she was great. The trolley took us throughout the historic district. We got out of the trolley by the Colonial Park Cemetery. During the trolley ride, Gail showed us photographs of the people that "haunt" the area. It was an interesting twist to hear about a ghost story and then get to see a picture of who supposedly does the haunting! The trolley was equipped with flat-screen monitors. The tour lasted about 90 minutes. The Oglethorpe BLUE Trolley is the one we will always look for when we go back to Savannah.

Thirdly, though I liked the idea of a walking tour, after a whole day of walking, I wasn’t up to walking to the start location and back, not to mention walking on the tour. All the major trolley companies offer a ghost tour: Old Town, Grayline, Ogelthorpe and Old Savannah, and from what I saw they are all very similar. Our driver, Rachel, picked... Read More
