Get To Know Us

We’re savannah owned.

Since 1979 we’ve been providing visitors to Savannah the best choice of trolley tours…twice as long as our nearest competitor. Our guides are long-time employees and most grew up here. Our tour has been created by Savannahians and refined over time by personal research and local experience which makes each tour as different and descriptive as the guide’s love for our city. Hometown expertise with no compromise is why we confidently claim Old Savannah Tours is your best choice. It’s no accident that “Savannah” is our middle name.

Characters You May Encounter

History Is Alive

Forrest gump.

The fictional character of Forrest Gump, portrayed by Tom Hanks, has become an icon in the city of Savannah – beloved by locals and visitors alike.

Forrest has been entertaining guests of Old Savannah Tours for years – see if you can spot him running around town!

Dessa the Gullah Woman

Representatives of the local Gullah Geechee Culture tell how ex-slaves came to inhabit the local islands off the Georgia coast, and discuss their contributions to the development of Southern cuisine.

They share fascinating customs and traditions, and may even teach guests a few words or songs from the Gullah culture.

General James Oglethorpe

Considered our founding father, Oglethorpe’s keen sense of social injustice led him to establish the Colony of Georgia, and, along with it, Savannah – America’s first planned city.

Oglethorpe was a skilled negotiator and diplomat, as well as a renowned military strategist and urban planner.

Reverend George Leile

George Leile was born a slave in Virginia. Alongside his devoutly religious master, he traveled up and down the East Coast, helping to preach the word of God to other slaves. After being freed, George sought refuge in Savannah’s British-occupied sector, where he continued preaching.

His local congregation of slaves eventually grew into the First African Baptist Church, which would become an important stop on the Underground Railroad.

Grave Encounters

Alice riley.

Alice Riley was an indentured servant who came to Savannah in 1733. Apprenticed to a notoriously cruel master, she eventually snapped one day and killed him.

Alice pleaded pregnancy and was given leniency – for nine months – before her baby was born and she was hanged for her crime.

This mystical figure played a prominent role in the book and the film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil , helping Jim Williams through his many criminal trials.

Minerva the Voodoo Queen immortalized in “Midnight” was actually a real person – a grandmotherly woman named Valerie Bowles. Ms. Valerie wielded true power and influence with “the unseen”, power not quite as innocuous as her everyday persona led one to believe.

Davenport House Museum

323 E Broughton St., Savannah, Georgia

Constructed as a family home in 1820, Savannah’s Davenport House Museum is one of the city’s notable buildings. Listed on the US National Register of Historic Landmarks and restored to its original 19th-century glory, this house-turned museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Savannah’s storied past.

Built in Savannah’s Federal architectural style, Davenport House was the family home of master-builder Isaiah Davenport from 1820 until his death in 1827. More than a century later, when it was threatened with demolition, it was purchased and converted into a museum by the Historic Savannah Foundation.

Visitors can admire its 1820s-style interior on guided tours, as self-guided exploration isn’t permitted. For a super-easy visit minus any transport fuss, book a hop-on hop-off trolley tour—they stop right outside—or a tour that covers the museum and other Savannah sights on foot or by Segway. Alternatives include combos of Historic District walks and trolley tours and minivan tours with Savannah River cruises. Savannah ghost and architecture-themed walks also showcase the museum.

• The Davenport House Museum is ideal for history and architecture fans.
• The house is not wheelchair-accessible or stroller-friendly.
• Facilities include on-site restrooms and a gift shop.
• Allow about 60 minutes for a guided tour and to explore the shop and garden.

The Davenport House Museum stands on East State Street on Columbia Square in the Savannah Historic District. Get there using the city’s fare-free DOT shuttles—take the Forsyth Loop, which stops near Columbia Square—or the #10, #11, #14, #27, #28, or #31 routes on its CAT bus network. Hop-on hop-off trolleys stop outside the museum. If you’re driving, parking and parking garages are available nearby.

The museum is open throughout the year, but is closed during certain public holidays and special events such as St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, December 25, January 1, and for much of January. Tours start at the top of each hour, and it’s sensible to arrive in ample time beforehand, especially in summer.

While the guides on the tours will note points of interest, it may still be easy to miss some interesting details. Aside from the stunningly turned staircase and ornate plasterwork, the house is filled with touches that evoke the 1820s and bygone Savannah—from intricately patterned wallpapers and authentic children’s toys to a 1920s drawing of the house by local artist Christopher Murphy.

The four of us were unable to go on the trolley tour. I had no time to contact you from where we were. Is there any way I could get a refund?

Please accept our apologies for the delays and overloads you experienced. Our team makes every effort to accommodate the crowds by monitoring ticket sales, dispatching the maximum number of trolleys on high volume days, and maintaining constant communication with our dispatchers to ensure all is being done to assist our guests. Would you please contact me directly at [email protected].

We had such a great visit with our 3 teens. They were skeptical, but at 4:30 in the afternoon I wanted us to see as much of Savannah as possible. Sarge was hilarious and we rode from start to finish laughing and learning. Everyone was engaged in the beauty of the warm Savannah evening.

Wow, that is a great review! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience. We love reading about our guests' experiences and sharing them with our CAST. We hope you'll come back and visit us again.

The trolley ride was excellent but stops weren't well marked. Our tour guide did a nice job. The sights were amazing. Would do again.

We are so happy you had a great time with our CAST. We hope you'll visit us again when you visit one of our destinations.

We have been to Savannah once before but were not able to appreciate the history of the city the way we were with the Hop-On-Hop-Off trolley tour! Our guide was entertaining and informative throughout the trip and shared facts about the city we would not have otherwise known. We did not "hop off" the trolley for the duration of the tour because we decided we would return to any sites that we were really interested in since the walking distance of all the sights wasn't extensive. We did notice that, if you were a patron who decided to hop off on a stop, it might take a couple trolleys coming back through before there was enough room for your group to get back on together. Overall, it was a great way to spend the afternoon!

We love reading about our guests' experiences, and our CAST also enjoys knowing that they made your trip memorable. Thank you for taking the time to write this. We hope to see you again next time you visit one of our destinations.

I have mixed feelings on my experience with this trolley system. I enjoyed listening to our driver Bonesy talk about the history throughout Savanah. She was very knowledgeable and funny. I recommend this trolley for people who don't like walking or somewhat have challenges to walking long distance. However once you get off, you'll be waiting awhile to get back on bc the busses were always full. We never participated in getting back on the bus bc we found we could walk to the next destination quicker. We found for us, the walking was much more enjoyable and all the points of interest weren't that far from each other. The on and off part seemed like an amusement park only letting 2-4 people get on at a time then you're left waiting another 10 minutes for next bus.... hoping there would be more available seats.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad to know the tour was enjoyable and our staff was courteous. We would like to hear more about your experience, please contact us directly at [email protected].

We ended up waiting 2.5 hours to get on for the very first stop. Totally wasted the morning of our first day in the city! We finally requested a refund, and they granted it. We did not use Old Town Trolley at all in Savannah, but we have used them in other cities with no issues! We then went with another company and had zero issues. Old Town kept saying how busy they were that day, which I understand can happen, but stop selling tickets if you can’t keep up. One driver made everyone get off of his trolley at one stop because it was his break time, so an extra 30 people needed to get into line, making the wait even longer. This just needs better organization and management. The company we switched to had it together!

Please accept our apologies for the delays and overloads you experienced. Our team makes every effort to accommodate the crowds by monitoring ticket sales, dispatching the maximum number of trolleys on high volume days, and maintaining constant communication with our dispatchers to ensure all is being done to assist our guests.

Moscow Metro

Introduction of moscow subway system (metro).

Nowadays the Moscow Metro has 12 lines, light subway and monorail. All stations are unique and beautiful in their own way. Unfortunately, in order to visit them all, you need to spend many days. I invite guests to visit the ones that have the greatest cultural and historical interest from my point of view. Among them are the Revolution Square, Arbatskaya, Kievskaya (Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line № 3); Kievskaya, Belarusskaya, Novoslobodskaya, Komsomolskaya (the Ring line number 5). Let us dwell a bit on each.

Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line

Subway station "revolution square".

Most recently - in the year 2008-2010 – the Eastern lobby was renovated. Because of the terrorist attacks in the Moscow subway that took place several hours before the planned opening of the East lobby after renovation, the solemn part of the event was canceled.

Subway station Arbatskaya

Subway Arbatskaya is located on the same subway line as the station "Revolution Square." It was founded in 1953. It received the name in honor of the Arbat Street. It has one ground lobby (Western). Initially, the lobby was in a separate building, but the new building of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense started, the lobby appeared to be in its atrium. The old exits were bricked up; a new entrance was built into the building of General Staff of the street Vozdvizhenka. There is a huge frame with a missing portrait in the ground lobby - until mid-1950 there was a portrait of Stalin. According to some reports, it survived, but closed with plaster.

The lobby was restored and partially reconstructed in 2007-2008.

The depth of the station is 41 meters.

Pylons are finished with red marble at the bottom, decorated with bouquets of flowers made from ceramics. The floor is laid out with gray granite. The walls lined with glazed ceramic tiles, white top and black bottom. The station hall is illuminated by massive bronze chandeliers in the form of rings.

Subway station Kievskaya

There are several subway stations "Kievskaya" in Moscow, located on different branches. This name is quite popular. It comes from the capital of Ukraine - one of Russia's nearest neighbors - the city of Kiev. The name is fully consistent with the idea of the subway station. The interior the station devoted to Soviet Ukraine and the reunification of Ukraine and Russia. The station is decorated with a large number of paintings .Twenty four murals depicting workers of Soviet Ukraine are placed on the arch above the pylons. The wall from the side of platform also contains frescos, mainly with images of fantastic plants. Pylons are decorated with light marble and additionally decorated with colorful ceramic cornice. The butt of the station has a large mosaic, depicting festivities to celebrate the 300 anniversary of the reunification of Ukraine and Russia.

Opened in 1953, this subway station for a long time was the final (1953-2003).

The station has one lobby, combined with the station ring line and located in the building of the Kievskaya railway station. The diameter of the central hall station is 9.5 m, the diameter of side one is 8.5 m. The depth of the station is 38 meters.

= Ring Line Subway =

It opened in 1954. The station received its name after the Kiev station, and locked the Ring line. During the construction of the station many projects were proposed, but the victory in the competition won the Kiev architects who made the construction of the station. It is the only station of the Ring Line which is not located in the Central Administrative District of Moscow.

The station has a pylon structure. Eighteen pylons are decorated with mosaic panels of glazes, decorated on the theme of Ukrainian history and friendship between the Ukrainian and Russian peoples, which started in the mid-17 century.

On the front wall of the central hall of the station a large panel with molding in the form of flags and a mosaic portrait of Lenin in the center are located. There are lines of the Soviet national anthem around the portrait, and under the portrait - the words of Lenin. One of the ways out of the station was designed by French architects modeled on the Paris Subway in 2006.

At one of the mosaics – “The Struggle for Soviet power in Ukraine "- modern passengers observe a mobile phone and PDA in the hand of one of the guerrillas, and on his knees - a laptop. In fact, he uses a field telephone, which was really a heavy thing (guerrillas holds it in two hands), and thing that people see a laptop is the lid of a box with a telephone. However, these phones have begun to produce only in the second half of the 20-ies of XX century. We must assume that the mosaic depicts a foreign field telephone transmitter.

Subway station Belorusskaya

The founded of the station was in 1952. It received the name after the Belarusian railway station nearby. The station has two ground-based lobbies. The Western one goes to Tverskaya  Zastava. It is decorated with beautiful carvings. The Eastern one leads to Butyrskiy shaft and Forest Street. The Eastern lobby is known for its majolica panels.

The station Belorusskaya is located at a depth of 42.5 m below ground. The diameter of the central hall is 9.5 meters.

Pylons are faced with light marble. The walls lined with white ceramic tiles, the floor is covered with ceramic tiles, gray, white and red colors. Lamps placed on pylons, in the form of vases made of glass and marble. The theme of decoration is economy and culture of Belarus. Decorative pattern on the floor repeats the theme of traditional Belarusian embroidery. Decorations of the ceiling consist of stucco decorations and 12 mosaic panels depicting the life of the Belarusian people.

Subway station Novoslobodskaya

Built in 1952, Subway station Novoslobodskaya got its name from the eponymous street:  the station is located at the very beginning of it.

Novoslobodskaya is pylon station of deep foundation (its depth is 40 m) with three arches.

Exit to the street is through the ground lobby with column portico, located on Novoslobodskaya Street lined with gray marble. Pylons of the underground station are faced with marble from the Urals. Thirty two spectacularly illuminated stained-glasses, placed inside the pylon and bordered by steel and gilt brass are splendid decoration of the station. A remarkable mosaic "World Peace" is located at the end of the central hall. The picture depicts a happy mother with a baby in her arms; it was the face of Stalin at the picture: the child gave a hand to him. But in times of Khrushchev the face of the former leader of USSR was removed from the panel. The walls are lined with bright marble; floor is covered with white and black granite slabs, placed in a checkerboard pattern.

Subway station Komsomolskaya

The station was built in 1952 and named in honor of the Komsomolskaya Square, which is situated nearby.

This subway station is the station of the deep bedding. Its depth is 37 meters. The station has column and three- arched design. Cast iron decoration is used in the construction, monolithic slab used as a tray for a collapsible finishing. The length of the boarding hall is 190 meters; width of it is 10 meters. There are 68 octagonal columns at station.

The main theme of the interior of the station is the fighting of the Russian people for their independence. The ceiling is decorated with eight station mosaic mural made from glazes and precious stones. Six of them represent the Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov and Mikhail Kutuzov, the Soviet soldiers and officers at the walls of the Reichstag.

 Two other panels, depicting Stalin ("Victory Parade" and "Presentation of the Guards Banner"), were replaced after the dethronement of Stalin's personality cult in 1963. New panels depict Lenin's speech in front of the Red Guards and the Motherland on the background of the Kremlin's Spasskaya Tower.

The yellow ceiling is decorated with mosaic and moldings. The hall is illuminated by massive chandeliers hanging between the panels; platforms are illuminated with smaller chandeliers. The columns are decorated with marble capitals and trimmed with light marble, as well as the wall station. The floor is laid with pink granite. There is a bust of Lenin at the end of the hall. At the opposite end of the escalator is a large Florentine mosaic of the Order of Victory with red banners on the background. The ground lobby of the station is decorated with bas-reliefs.

In conclusion...

Each of the stations of the Moscow subway is attractive and interesting in its own way. Each has its own long and fascinating history and is beautifully decorated. The Moscow subway is a whole world, which can be talking about for hours. I suggest you short - no more than one hour and a half - and a fascinating journey through the world of the Moscow subway. The pleasure is guaranteed!
