The tour offers stories and lore to recall the charms and whimsy of the island as she passed through indigenous, pirates, early English settlers, and now into modern days. The often overlooked North End Tybee holds a rich history about the settlers as well as military with the historical value and tales of Fort Screven. The open-air ride will surely place a smile on your face as you take in views that only a local would know, and stories that only a historian can tell with accuracy and passion.

Great guide and lots of interesting history about the island and the military base located on Tybee. Jack clearly has a connection to the island and a passion for the history surrounding it that you absolutely feel when she shares her stories. I loved that we were "off the beaten path" for a significant portion of the tour and I saw Tybee Island in a different light when we'd finished. We will do the tour again when our family comes into Savannah to visit us!

We started our full day on the island with a wonderful historical tour. Our guide, Jacqueline, knows the details of this historic island's past. For more than an hour, she entertained us with fascinating story after story and answered all our often probing questions. It should be the first stop for anyone visiting Tybee Island.
