For a whole ‘lotta history in a little bit of time, this is the tour for you.
Sometimes you just get tired, you know? You wanna keep ‘going’ but you also like the idea of just ‘sittin.’
Nothing wrong with that! And that’s why you’ll love our Historic Overview tour. Think of it like this – the Historic Overview tour is like a cousin to our Historic On/Off Tour – same appealing qualities without the ‘on/off’ part. Be on the lookout, because characters from Savannah’s past like to hop aboard the trolley from time-to-time.
