Great Experience - A great way to be on the water and explore Savannah! There was indoor and outdoor seating, as well as drinks and snacks for purchase. The ferry ride is 2 hours each way, so I suggest you bring cards or something. There was enough time to explore Savannah. My family and l ate lunch and shopped around until it was time to board the boat again. Overall it was a great experience, and a unique way to see Savannah.

A trip down memory lane 💕 - Traveled with my sister and we had a great time remembering our girl trips to Savannah with our mom. We ate at Spank’s as always and shopped our favorite stores. We met some great people on the trip as well. The crew was pleasant and friendly. We will do it again.

Excellent— We bought the hop on hop off trolley which I would highly recommend if you want to see a lot. - The boat ride was a little longer than we would have liked. We wish we would have more time in Savannah. We would definitely recommend this tour.

A Must Do… great day ! - This cruise down to Savannah was lots of fun. The Captain and first mates were friendly and made the trip more relaxing. We had 4 hours to do a Trolly Trip around Savannah. We learned lots of history and saw many different sites!

Enjoyed the boat cruise... - Enjoyed the boat cruise on the way to Savannah. Not much interesting scenery though. Marsh land all looks the same. The trolley ride at Savannah was disjointed …… kind of tricky to know which stop to get on or off. Savannah is definitely interesting.

Don’t be 5 minutes late for ride back - Missed the ferry back by 5 minutes! Had to get a lift back and waited in pouring and I mean pouring rain. Decent way to get there but know exactly what you want to see or do prior

Confusing trip reservation - The cruise itself was great. However when trying to confirm our reservation through Viator, no one ever heard of you. Fortunately, our reservation was confirmed through Vagabond tours. You should tell people to check with Vagabond for their trip!

Need a partial refund - This review is about trip advisor and not the trip it’s self. The trip was outstanding . I cancelled one member of a group of five. I cancelled within the time period necessary. Was reported back cancellation was received and gave me a new amount to be deducted from my account to the day before the trip. But the whole amount was deducted.m have not had luck trying to contact you. I tried to send message but wouldn’t accept my email address as having improper format but this the email address i have always had and the one trip advisor uses to contact me. I see this as a ploy to discourage me from making contact so i will get tired and just forget about it (but I won’t. It has now become an issue for me. Again this is a trip advisor review and not the trip itself.
