If you have only one day in the city and want to hit as many of the high points as possible, my Old Savannah Trolley Tours itinerary is the way to go!

You won’t need a car at all — you’ll just use the Hop-On/Hop-Off trolley to get around.

I’ve included my favorite suggested stopping points along the route for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts (of course)! I’ve also noted a few tours you might want to try.

Finally, I’ve made note of any reservations you’ll need to make in advance.

If you’re new around here, first of all… welcome . Thanks for stopping by!

My name is Erin, and I authored the Savannah First-Timer’s Guide . It’s a helpful ebook that contains all of my top tips about Savannah.

Trip Planning: Before You Go

If it wasn’t obvious by the title, I’ve based this itinerary on the Old Savannah Tours Hop-On/Hop-Off trolley .

It’s the one I recommend most since I always try to promote locally-owned businesses. They’ve been voted Best Trolley Tour in Savannah every year since 2003!

Technically you can do this itinerary using Old Savannah Tours Hop-On/Hop-Off trolley or Old Town Trolley’s Hop-On/Hop-Off option.

The stop numbers vary between the two, but otherwise they’re very similar!

NOTE: If you’re trying to decide which trolley tour would work best for you, my Savannah trolley tours review post includes a map and in-depth comparison chart of all the options.

Step 01: Purchase Your Trolley Tickets

  • Purchase Old Savannah Tours Hop-On/Hop-Off Tickets
  • Purchase Old Town Trolley Hop On/Hop-Off Tickets

Step 02: Research Restaurant Menus

There are a few restaurants along the trolley route that I recommend. I’ve linked to each one so you can check out the menus in advance to see which look the most appealing.

  • Breakfast: Collins Quarter Cafe at Forsyth Park , Clary’s Cafe , Mirabelle Cafe , or J. Christopher’s
  • Lunch: Vinnie Van Go Go’s or The Pirates’ House
  • Dinner: Vic’s on the River

My personal favorites are Clary’s Cafe (locally-owned) or The Collins Quarter for breakfast and Vinnie Van Go Go’s (locally-owned) for lunch.

Step 03: What to Pack

On the day of your trip, bring a refillable bottled water, a pen for note-taking, and your camera.

Our rainy season peaks June through September, so you might also want to bring a travel rain poncho those months. They’re lighter and easier to carry than an umbrella.

Trolley Tour Parking

If you’re driving into Savannah and need to park your car, you can park for free in one of the lots owned by the trolley tour company you selected.

Each company owns two lots, and all of the lots are within an approximate 5-minute walk to the trolley departing point.

Old Savannah Tours Parking – Their larger lot is at 215 W Boundary Street – Their smaller (but closer) lot is at 255 Montgomery Street

Old Town Trolley Parking – 234 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. (closest lot) – 214 W Boundary Street

If the trolley company lots are full or if you have mobility issues and want to park as close to the starting point as possible, then I suggest parking at the Savannah Visitor Center.

Parking at the Visitor Center is free the first hour and $1/hr thereafter.

Savannah Visitor Center – 301 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

Old Savannah Trolley Tours Itinerary

Let’s plan your day.

Stop #1 (Starting Point): Savannah Visitor Center

The trolleys depart from the Savannah Visitor Center. If your hotel isn’t close to the Visitor Center, Old Savannah Trolley Tour company will send a shuttle to pick you up at no additional cost.

There are restrooms inside the Visitor Center, so you might want to take advantage of them before you depart.

If you forgot to bring a water bottle, you can purchase one inside.

Don’t worry too much about breakfast, because you can stop to eat within the first 30 minutes or so of this tour.

NOTE: If you’re a big Forrest Gump fan, the Savannah History Museum is located inside the Visitor Center. It’s where the famous Forrest Gump bench is located.

Breakfast & Non-Stop Trolley Ride

First things first, you’re going to relax and ride the trolley all the way around so you’ll get a good overview of the city and its history. You’ll only hop off for breakfast.

Use your pen to make notations on the map of any landmarks that look interesting to you!

Depending on which menu you liked best, you’re going to hop off at Stop 4, 5 or 6 to get some food in your belly!

Here are your breakfast options:

  • Stop # 4: Collins Café at Forsyth Park – The setting is beautiful — right in the center of Forsyth Park — and the food and coffee are delish. You can’t go wrong with the Raspberry French Toast and a hot latte or refreshing strawberry mimosa.
  • Stop #5: Clary’s Café – This is such a classic Savannah spot! It was featured in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil , so there are photos of the cast and crew hanging along the back wall. It’s a no-frills kind of place, but the staff is friendly, and you’ll get a very hearty breakfast. FYI: This is my favorite option!
  • Stop #6: Mirabelle Café – This adorable Parisian-style café has a perfect view of the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist. You absolutely can’t go wrong with any of the waffle options!
  • Stop #6: J. Christopher – This is a nice all-around spot if you’re traveling with picky eaters. There’s something for everyone here! Service is usually quick, so it’s also a good option if you’re traveling with a large group of people.

After breakfast, hop back on the trolley and listen as the guide provides an overview of Savannah’s history. If you opt for Old Savannah Tours, a few characters will hop on the trolley to help bring history to life!

Savannah Visitor Center Break

After you’ve done the entire loop once, hop off at the Visitor Center for a little break.

This is a good time to “check out the restrooms” as my mom likes to say or to pick up brochures for some of the attractions that looked interesting to you.

Afternoon Hop-Off Trolley Ride

The second time around, you’re going to exit at any of the stops that looked appealing to you.

You’ll essentially create your own itinerary from the notes you made on your map, but I’m going to provide some suggestions to help out!

Stop #2: Chippewa Square – Hop OFF & Back ON

I adore this square and think it’s a good place to hop off.

Chippewa Square is known as the “Forrest Gump square”, since it’s where his famous bench scenes were filmed.

The bench was just a movie prop, so you won’t actually see it in the square (although there are plenty of other benches scattered about), but the square is very beautiful and so are the surrounding buildings.

📸 Photo Opportunities: My top suggestions include The Historic Savannah Theatre, Independence Presbyterian Church (also of Forrest Gump fame — the feather blew past it in the opening scene of the movie), and the haunted Foley House Inn. There are two beautiful homes on the square that you might also want to photograph.

Stop #3: Madison Square – Hop OFF & Back ON

Architecture fanatics should hop off at this stop to see the stunning Scottish Rite Building.

It’s not open for touring, but the street level is currently home to SCAD’s Gryphon restaurant.

The restaurant is a cozy place to stop for tea or a light lunch on a rainy day.

Another compelling reason to hop off is to venture inside adorable E.Shaver, Booksellers.

It’s one of my favorite bookstores in Savannah! It’s a great place to pick up local souvenirs or to visit with the cats that freely roam about the store.

If you’re a history buff (Civil War-era), make note that the Green-Meldrim House is where General Sherman was headquartered when he stayed in Savannah.

🎁 Souvenir Opportunities: Consider purchasing something by a local author at E. Shaver, Bookseller. My current favorite book by a Savannahian is “Sketching Savannah” by Ivan Chow.

📸 Photo Opportunities : The top photo opportunities at this stop include the stunning Scottish Rite Building, the charming E. Shaver Booksellers, the haunted Sorrel Weed House, and the historic Green-Meldrim House.

Stop #4: Forsyth Park – Hop OFF and Walk

Hop off here to see the famous Forsyth Fountain — one of the most classic photo locations in Savannah.

If you want to take a stroll, the homes on the Whitaker and Gaston sides of the street are prettiest.

My advice is NOT to hop back on the trolley when you finish at Forsyth Park, but to instead walk directly north on Bull Street.

You’ll pass an impressive white house at the north end of the park — that’s the Armstrong-Kessler Mansion.

You’re probably going to want to snap a selfie in front of it since it was in the movie “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”

Keep walking straight for one block and you’ll run into Monterey Square, which is one of my all-time favorite squares in Savannah. So many incredible homes and landmarks surround this square!

From there, stroll down Taylor Street two blocks east to Calhoun Square, where you’ll hop back on the trolley.

You’ll pass some beautiful homes on the way.

🎁 Souvenir Opportunity: V&J Duncan Maps and Antiques is a true hidden gem and a great place to purchase locally-authored books and unique maps.

🏠 Tour Opportunity: The Mercer Williams House is available for touring.

📸 Photo Opportunities: The stunning Alex Raskin Antiques building, which is one of the oldest unrestored mansions remaining in Savannah; Congregation Mickve Israel, the third oldest Jewish synagogue in the country; and the Mercer Williams House, which was also made famous by Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil .

Stop #5: Calhoun Square – Hop Back ON

Massie Heritage Center is the main draw at this stop. Venture inside if you want…they have a cool 3D model of the Historic District.

There’s also a beautifully restored home located at 432 Abercorn Street that’s so pretty you might want a picture of it.

You’d probably never guess by looking at it, but some people think it’s one of the most haunted homes in Savannah !

Calhoun Square itself is also considered haunted, since it’s reportedly the site of a mass slave burial ground.

Historic Wesley Monumental Church, established in 1868, also sits on this square.

It’s a fairly boring stop, so I don’t recommend spending too much time here. Hop back on the trolley at this location to head to the next one!

📸 Photo Opportunities: Calhoun Square and Wesley Monumental Church, plus a few of the surrounding homes

Stop #6: The Cathedral of St. John – Hop OFF & Back ON

The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist is one of the most incredible sights in all of Savannah.

Definitely go inside, since the interior is breathtaking and very photo-worthy.

There’s no cost to enter, but you’re welcome to leave a few dollars at the donation station by the door.

Donations help with the maintenance of the building…and that lovely air conditioning you’ll enjoy while inside.

If you’re not running low on time, walk across Liberty Street to see historic (and haunted!) Colonial Park Cemetery .

It’s filled with historic gravesites from duels, wars, and the Great Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1820.

Head back to the Cathedral to hop back on the trolley after you’ve seen the cemetery.

📸 Photo Opportunities: The interior and exterior of Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist, and the east wall of Colonial Park Cemetery

Stop #7: The Pirates House – Lunch Option

This is the first lunch option out of two spots, so if you’re getting hungry you might want to hop off and grab a bite to eat at their buffet.

The She Crab Soup and the Pecan Crusted Fried Chicken are two of their most popular dishes.

Both are on the buffet, but you’ll have to request the honey pecan sauce for the chicken from one of the servers. (Insider tip: This dish is better for when you order it as your entire meal [only available on the dinner menu] vs. ordering from the buffet!)

The Herb House portion of the Pirates’ House was constructed in 1734, so it’s one of the oldest still-standing structures in the state of Georgia.

And yes, the building is aptly named since actual pirates used to hang out there.

If you aren’t hungry, you can take photos of the building from the trolley and head on the next stop.

Stop #8: Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters

While I absolutely love the work that has gone into restoring this home and consider it one of the top tours in Savannah, they have a frustrating check-in process and it’s rather difficult to fit it in if you only have one day in Savannah.

For that reason, I suggest staying on board and photographing it from the trolley.

If you’re ever in town for a longer period of time, definitely include this as a “must-see” on your list!

It’s actually one of the top ten tours I recommend in Savannah in my Savannah First-Timer’s Guide .

The Owens-Thomas House is an old tan stucco two-story home with green shutters and an elaborate front entry

Stop #9: Telfair Museum

Unless you’re an avid art lover, this is yet another stop where you can photograph the buildings and adjacent square from inside the trolley.

Three statues of men in robed attire stand guard in front of the yellow Telfair Academy building

Stop #10: City Market – Lunch Option – Hop OFF

By now I imagine you’re probably getting pretty hungry.

I suggest hopping off at this stop to grab a slice of Vinnie Van Go Go’s pizza. The price is right at less than $5 for a giant slice.

Be sure to request extra crispy crust!

If Vinnie’s has too long of a wait (it’s very popular), you can opt for a fancier meal at Belford’s or walk over to Little Duck Diner — an adorable retro diner at the corner of Barnard and W. Saint Julian Street.

While you’re in City Market , stroll around and check out some of the talented artists in their studios.

Be sure to sample the sweets at Byrd Cookie Co. and Savannah Candy Kitchen!

You’ll be back in this area for Stop #16, so wait to make your purchases then. (That way you won’t have to lug items around with you.)

Tour Opportunities: One of my favorite tours in Savannah is the First African Baptist Church tour (also a “top ten” in my ebook). The church is located just west of City Market and Franklin Square. If you have the time, I highly suggest it! Tours are Wed-Sat at 3 pm only. Plan to spend an hour and a half inside. Another really fun tour to try in this area is American Prohibition Museum . I suggest purchasing tickets in advance.

Stop #11: Reynolds Square

The Olde Pink House restaurant is the main attraction at this stop.

It’s an iconic restaurant in Savannah and so popular that you need to make reservations months in advance.

Take photos from the trolley or hop off to get better shots. There’s a tavern in the basement if you’re in the mood for drinks!

If you’re craving dessert and don’t mind standing in ridiculously long line to get it, stroll one block south to Broughton Street to enjoy some Leopold’s Ice Cream.

📸 Photo Opportunities: The Olde Pink House Restaurant, Lucas Theatre, and the Leopold’s Ice Cream sign with the SCAD sign in the background.

Stop #12: E Factors Walk

I’m a huge fan of Factors Walk, but in the interest of saving time I’m going to suggest you stay on the trolley here and hop off two stops later on West Factors Walk. There’s more to see on the west end.

Enjoy the scenery in this area as you make your way down towards River Street!

Stop #13: Market Landing – Hop OFF and Back ON (or walk!)

River Street is one of the most well-known streets in Savannah, so you’ll definitely want to hop off here!

The east end of River Street is the quieter and less crowded end of the street.

Head over to the Waving Girl Statue to take a photo of Florence Martus, who gained notoriety for waving at all the passing ships.

If you’re lucky, you might even spot a giant container ship coming into port while you’re there!

There’s an open-air marketplace where you can do more souvenir shopping, but nothing there particularly screams “Savannah” to me.

If you’re in the mood to stretch your feet, you can walk from this area along the riverfront to get to the next stop…or you can hop back on the trolley to ride to the next stop.

📸 Photo Opportunities: The Waving Girl Statue, River Street, and any giant container ships that happen to pass by

Stop #14: Cotton Exchange Building – Hop OFF

If you haven’t already read my post about Factors Walk , you should! There are so many unique things to see in this area.

The Old Cotton Exchange Building is the famous building that most people think of when they picture River Street, and the winged lion stands guard in front of it.

You can actually walk underneath the Cotton Exchange building to get to River Street, and I recommend doing so just to say you’ve done it!

When you get to River Street, you’ll see the Georgia Queen Riverboat (if it isn’t out on a cruise) and you’ll be near my favorite candy shop, River Street Sweets.

To get back to the trolley, walk up the ramp located next to Olympia Café (you’ll be walking towards the City Hall building with the gold dome at the top).

You might want a photo of the exterior of the cafe, since it was in the Joe Jonas movie, “Devotion.”

Once you round the corner of the ramp, you’ll see the unique Cluskey Vaults, which are worth exploring.

Be sure to look to your left and make note of Vic’s on the River, since it’s a potential dinner spot!

🎁 Souvenir Opportunity: River Street Sweets is the top seller of pralines in the world. I suggest sampling them while they’re warm, and then buy a half-dozen (or more!) to take home with you.

📸 Photo Opportunities: The Old Cotton Exchange Building, the Old City Exchange Bell, the winged lion statue, the Georgia Queen Steamboat, and the Cluskey Vaults

Stop #15: City Hall

There’s no need to hop off at this stop.

City Hall is a pretty building, but if you only have one day in the city you can certainly find better ways to spend your time.

Stop #16: Franklin Square

This is essentially the same stop as stop #10.

If you were smart and took my advice about not purchasing souvenirs to lug around earlier, now is the time to revisit City Market to purchase lots of sweet treats from Byrd Cookie Co. and Savannah Candy Kitchen.

After you’ve made your purchases, you can hop back on the trolley to head back to the Savannah Visitor Center and place your purchases in your car, OR you can walk a few blocks north to River Street to have dinner at Vic’s.

Just make note that if you plan to stay late, you’ll need to have your car out of the Visitor Center by 6 pm!

🎁 Souvenir Opportunity: Key Lime Coolers, Salted Caramel, and Georgia Peach cookies from Byrd Cookie Co. or pralines from Savannah Candy Kitchen

After the Trolley Tour: Dinner Options

I run a private Facebook group for people who are planning trips to Savannah, and Vic’s on the River is consistently one of the most popular restaurants mentioned in the group.

Sometimes it even gets higher marks than The Olde Pink House! Make note that it’s best to make reservations at least few days in advance.

If you still have energy to explore after dinner, you might want to stroll down to the Plant Riverside District . It’s the new development on the far west end of River Street.

Just look towards the Talmadge Bridge and you can’t miss it…you’ll see two giant smokestacks reaching towards the sky.

Whew, that was a pretty jam-packed itinerary, wasn’t it?

Hopefully you feel like you were able to fit a lot in and get a good overview of the city!

9 Comments on Old Savannah Trolley Tours 1-Day Itinerary

I’ve never been to Savannah, but your beautiful photos make me want to plan a trip there ASAP!

Awww, thank you! I love photography, and it’s a very photogenic city.

I love Savannah, and I love your guides. I am actually considering going back soon, and your site is AMAZING, gives me ideas and inspirations on how to visit it even better and more efficiently. Thank you!

That’s awesome. Happy to help! Fall is a great time to visit. We’re just about to head into peak hurricane season at the moment (late Aug to the end of September/early October).

I didn’t know much about Savannah, but this post made me put it on my to-visit list. Really love how the buildings look!

I want to come to Savannah on December 22 and stay through December 29. Are the stores open for Christmas Eve shopping? And the restaurants open for dining? Also I would assume everyone closes on Christmas Day which is Saturday this year, but by Monday, will stores and restaurants be open back up? Are the trolly and carriages available during these days?

Hi Vickie. This year might be a little different than most, due to the pandemic. We’ll have to see how things play out. But in a normal year, shops would be open on Christmas eve, and many restaurants would be open for dining. A select few restaurants are also open on Christmas day, but those are usually the ones attached to hotels. Try places like the 17Hundred90 Inn & Restaurant or some of the restaurants at the JW Marriott Plant Riverside. By that Monday, many businesses will reopen…unless pandemic restrictions tighten. The trolleys and the DOT shuttles run the majority of the year, but they might close down on Christmas day. It’s probably best to call them to verify. Even if they aren’t running, if you’re able to walk without too much trouble (I realize not everyone has those capabilities), the Historic District is very walkable and beautiful during the holiday season. You could spend Christmas day exploring places like Jones Street, Taylor Street, Charlton Street and some of the more residential areas, which look beautiful. Here’s a post about Christmas in Savannah: https://savannahfirsttimer.com/christmas-in-savannah/

Thank you for writing this post. I used it on Thursday for my one day in Savannah and it was so helpful. So glad I found it!

Awesome! I’m glad it was helpful 🙂

1000 5-star reviews can't be wrong. Visit Savannah today!

Highly recommend this tour. Ms. Pat was brilliant; the tour was insightful and authentic. Learned a lot. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn about our journey.

We had the best time on this bus tour. Lieutenant Dan was our guide..and he was fantastic!! We learned so much about the city! Everyone should ask for him.. and take this tour! The best part is.. after the tour, the trolley becomes a shuttle! You can be dropped off and picked up at several different stops for the rest of the day!

I took the trolly and boat tour. I thought I received exceptionally good value. I enjoyed it very much.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It's a great value. Learned so much and was sorry we didn't have more time to go back to explore some of the areas the guide pointed out. The ticket includes the option to request a shuttle to any one of 11 stops for the rest of that day and the next day - all part of the tour fee.

Dennis is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and has a great sense of humor. I think the tour is just the right amount of time. I’d highly recommend anyone visiting Savannah take this tour (and try to get Dennis as your tour guide).

I’ve done a ton of ghost tours/experiences/etc. everywhere from St. Augustine to Salem, but this was a totally unique experience! The trolley tour was super fun and informative and the tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. The interactive performance was PHENOMENAL! It was the perfect blend of scary, historical, and interactive! The actors are incredibly talented. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality ghost tour plus some extra scary fun!

Andy was amazing with his knowledge of the area! All of the drivers were very helpful and accommodating! We couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves nearly as much without the tour buses being available to us. Great value for the money!

Brenda with Kelly Tours did an amazing job providing history (and air conditioning) throughout our tour. She was extremely thorough, knowledgable and kept the tour at a very even pace. As a Georgia native, I learned so much. Highly recommend!!

Admissions

Things to See and Do
Historic District

Juliette Gordon Low House

This lovely mansion in the historic district was deemed a National Historic Landmark in 1965, making it the city’s first on the National Register of Historic Places. The birthplace of Girl Scout Founder Juliette Gordon Low , the home is owned by the Girl Scouts of America and is a museum open to the public. The house features many of the Low family’s original furnishings, artwork by Juliette and an array of Girl Scouts’ artifacts. They offer tours daily and activities and special events just for Girl Scouts.

Forsyth Park

A visit to Savannah most definitely needs to include a stop at Forsyth Park , a 30-acre park in the heart of downtown. This beautiful green space includes bike and jogging trails, basketball and tennis courts, a café, children’s play area and the iconic Forsyth Fountain—the centerpiece of this popular landmark.

Savannah Public Transportation & Free Trolley

For visitors, Savannah is more of a walking than a driving city. Most of the places visitors want to go are close together, and the one-way system, congestion and difficulties parking make leaving your car behind or parking it outside the Historic District an attractive option ( more about parking in Savannah ).

Savannah’s public transport, including several free services especially targeted toward the needs of tourists, can take you downtown and around the Historic District’s key sights.

The city’s public transit network has two main components: the fare-free Downtown Transportation (dot) system and the ordinary Chatham Area Transit (CAT) bus services.

Fare-free shuttle buses and a ferry provide safe and convenient transportation around the Historic District and its most popular tourist areas. Savannah’s local bus system operates services in and around the wider city and to its outlying suburbs, some of which stop near popular tourist attractions.

See also: – Savannah’s must-see sights – Free things to do in Savannah – The Historic District – More tourist attractions and things to do

Free Trolley Bus & Ferry

Savannah provides free transportation around the Historic District as an alternative to driving and parking in the city’s congested central areas.

There are three separate services, collectively known as “dot” (short for Downtown Transportation). These connect most of Savannah’s principal points of interest.

Two dot Express Shuttle services circuit downtown; the Savannah Belles Ferry connects River Street with Hutchinson Island. A map of the three routes, with popular attractions and parking garages marked, is available here .

All dot services are entirely free and ADA-accessible.

Express Shuttle

The dot Express Shuttle services run every day: Monday-Friday, 7am-7pm; Saturday, 10am-7pm; Sunday, 10am-6pm. Buses run every 10 minutes, with 20 stops on two separate routes: Downtown and Forsyth Park.

The Downtown route follows a loop through the upper Historic District, connecting with City Market and several downtown squares and other attractions, and passing within a couple of blocks of several downtown parking garages.

The Forsyth Park route takes a counter-clockwise route to either side of Bull Street, traveling up Drayton Street and down Whitaker Street between Johnson Square and Forsyth Park.

→ More information about the service

Riding The Free Shuttle

To ride, just find one of the purple and green “dot” signs (don’t confuse these with the regular CAT bus stop signs), and wait for your bus to arrive. Look out for a purple and green bus or a bus with a symbol reading “dot” on the front or side. Map showing all the stops

Ordinary paid city buses, operated by CAT, may also pass by. These will be clearly marked, with a sign on the front displaying the route number and name. Paid shuttle services may also pass; these will be painted in the livery of their respective companies.

Savannah Belles Ferry

This free passenger ferry connects River Street to the hotels and convention center on Hutchinson Island. The service operates between three landings, two on the city side of the Savannah River and one on Hutchinson Island.

From River Street, embark at either the City Hall Landing, behind City Hall at the head of Bull Street and next to the Hyatt Regency Hotel, or the Waving Girl Landing, near the Waving Girl (Florence Martus) statue in Morrell Park, close to the East Broad Street ramp.

The Savannah Belles Ferry runs every 20-30 minutes daily, 7am-10pm. Services to the Waving Girl Landing operate 8:20am-6pm. Travel time to cross the river is 10-20 minutes, depending on which landings you travel between. Pets, either on a leash or in a carrier, are welcome. See full service information and schedule.

The ferry’s name honors “Savannah’s Belles,” four women who influenced Savannah’s history: Susie King Taylor, Mary Musgrove, Juliette Gordon Low and Florence Martus.

Using Savannah’s Public Transportation

Savannah bus routes.

Chatham Area Transit (CAT) provides numerous paid services around Savannah and its suburbs. 100X Airport Express service to the airport.-->

A map of all the services operated is available here (please note that the 100X service to the airport is currently suspended), and the list of CAT bus routes, with schedule information, is here . Some services have been modified on account of the pandemic and may change at short notice, so re-check schedules and routes for your trip before setting out.

The easiest way to plan your trip on Savannah’s buses is with the Google Maps site. Enter your destination into the search bar, then click Directions, then click on the bus/train icon for suggested routes by public transportation.

Savannah Bus Fares, Tickets & Passes

Single-journey tickets :

– Tickets to ride all CAT buses can be purchased on board the vehicle.

– Try to have the correct fare, as drivers are not able to make change.

– A one-way ticket on Savannah’s ordinary public transit system costs $1.50. Transfers (valid for 90 minutes) are free, but should be requested before depositing your fare.

– Children under 41 inches tall ride for free, two per adult passenger.

– Seniors (65+), youth (6-18), veterans and passengers with a disability can pay a reduced fare of $0.75 with the relevant ID or Medicare card. ID is not required for passengers who use a wheelchair. For full details of the half-fare scheme, see here.

– The 100X Airport Express service costs $5 each way, or $8 for a return ticket.

Day passes can also be purchased on board the bus, for $3. A day pass allows unlimited travel on the day it is activated. You need to notify the driver you want a day pass rather than a single ticket before depositing your fare.

Weekly and monthly passes are also available, but these must be bought in advance. A 7-day pass, valid for seven days from the day of activation, is $14. A monthly pass, valid for 31 days from activation, is $50. The half-fare program also applies to these passes for eligible passengers.

Passes, and also books of 10 tickets, are sold at Savannah’s transportation hub, the Joe Murray Rivers, Jr. Intermodal Transit Center, at 610 West Oglethorpe Avenue (three blocks north of the Visitor Center on Martin Luther King, Jr Boulevard, then left onto West Oglethorpe. The bus station, which is also used for Greyhound coach services, will be on your right). Hours for ticket sales are Monday-Friday, 7am-8pm.

Alternatively, you can purchase passes online to use in conjunction with the Transit Mobile Ticketing App, which can be downloaded onto your smartphone via the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store (more details here ).

Accessibility

All buses are wheelchair accessible.

If you are traveling with pets (except for service animals, and except on the Savannah Belles Ferry, which does allow animals on board), you will unfortunately have to use another method of getting around the city, as pets are not allowed on Savannah’s buses.

Trolley tour in Savannah shares facts and myths about trees in the Hostess city

It’s Arbor Day in Georgia, and the Savannah Tree Foundation celebrated with a canopy cruise trolley tour.

Arbor Day in Georgia is on the third Friday of February to take advantage of the south’s ideal tree planting season.

Guests were able to sip on a cold drink while learning about the area’s trees.

The tour shares facts, stories, and myths about trees across the Savannah area.

TOP STORY - Chatham Emergency Services responds to Savannah Mayor's call for quicker response times

"I think the most interesting part about our tree canopy is it seems old, but it actually is only 125 years old. Most of these trees were planted after a series of hurricanes in the 1890s. These trees were all intentionally planted along our roads, and they were intentionally planted to create green space in Savannah. To me that highlights the importance of continuing to be intentional in our plantings for the next generation," said Executive Director of the Savannah Tree Foundation, Zoey Rinker. 

The Savannah Tree Foundation points out that live oaks are a special unique tree that residents should appreciate, staying green throughout the entire calendar year.

The Savannah Tree Foundation hopes the canopy cruise tours today were the first of many to follow.

Trolley tour in Savannah shares facts and myths about trees in the Hostess city

A Cruisin' Tiki tour may hit the Savannah River, but awaits vote by city's tourism advisory group

map of trolley tour savannah

Nearby tourism destinations such as Charleston, Myrtle Beach and St. Augustine have Cruisin' Tikis , tiki hut-styled vessels typically toting up to six people down waterways. The group conducts tours and cruises where guests can bring their own beverages on board. There are just over 40 locations across the U.S., according to the company's website .

Now, the group is looking to enter the Savannah market with tiki tours down the Savannah River. Leaders from Cruisin' Tikis gave a presentation Tuesday to the city's Tourism Advisory Committee overviewing potential operations.

"We'd love for this style and this location to marry and match that of what we are doing very, very successfully in other places," said Nicholas Monteleone, a Cruisin' Tikis corporate representative at the meeting.

TAC is a city-created group that provides recommendations to Savannah City Council on tourism-related issues.

TAC did not vote on a recommendation for the tiki tours, because the group is still awaiting legal review from city staff on city jurisdiction over the tours. The Cruisin' Tikis tour would take off from a private dock at River Street Marina, so there may be questions on the city's authority to regulate the operation.

The U.S. Coast Guard regulates vessels, and the Cruisin' Tikis floating tiki bars are U.S. Coast Guard-approved.

The presentation laid out a potential route for the tiki tours that would run from River Street Marina to Plant Riverside, staying about 10-15 feet away from the riverwalk through the trip, said Jonathan Silva, who would lead Cruisin' Tiki Savannah. The presentation said the tiki tours will give a "Polynesian feel" to accompany Savannah's historic character.

The tours, which would hold a maximum capacity of six guests, would cover the origin of Savannah's name, discuss the Savannah River's early history and current uses, and Savannah's historical landmark status, according to the presentation.

While the Cruisin' Tikis do not serve alcohol on the vessel, they are equipped with coolers and ice for those who bring drinks on board, according to the company's website.

Discussion by members of TAC primarily focused on whether or not the group should move a vote to a future meeting, given the need for the legal review. There were a few comments that signaled there may not be support for the tours.

Thomas Square Neighborhood Association President Jason Combs, who is a member of TAC, mentioned the city's tourism ordinance does not allow boats. The restrictions under the ordinance say tour service vehicles shall not "be an amphibious or boat-type vehicle."

Other members expressed concern with the current and shipping traffic. Sila said the Cruisin' Tikis won't cross the river and would not interfere with ship traffic.

Charlie Brazil, Old Town Trolley's general manager of Savannah operations, said he is not opposed to tours on the Savannah River. But there may be other tour types better suited of the city's major waterway, Brazil said.

"I do think there is a niche for that, but I don't know if this is the right fit for that," Brazil said.

Thank you. Do you have any experience with any of the walking tours? We like more in-depth and personal whenever we can get it. I don’t always like to book everything ahead in order to stay flexible, but it appears some options are already sold out and I’m thinking maybe we should reserve at least one tour for Wednesday or Thursday.

No. Other than the Trolley we generally roam around the HD and maybe Google sites of interest. The river/harbor cruise is also informative and quite nice.
