My friend I booked this excursion and were excited to learn more about Savannah and experience it from both a riding tour around town and on the sea. Stephanie of Gray Lines drove and narrated the land tour. It was fantastic and informative. She answered any questions we had and kept us all enthralled. When we made a stop at a church to take pictures, I asked her about our sea portion. She explained that the sea portion was handled by another carrier and called to verify our reservation only to be told that the operator had changed our reservation to the 1:00 the next day without consulting or asking us. Needless to say, we were annoyed and requested a refund from Tripadvisor. Apparently, the land and sea tour takes about 3 hours - 90 minutes for land and another 90 minutes for sea rather than the 90 minutes the ad leads you to believe. Since the land tour began at 12:30, the earliest we would have arrived for the sea tour would have been about 2:00. Had the description indicated a final boarding time for the sea portion, we would have selected a different option. As of this writing, I have requested a partial refund for the missed "sea" tour, but have yet to hear back from Tripadvisor. Of course, I've received promotional materials and a request to write a review, but no indication of when our money will be returned. The moral of this story, go in person to choose a tour. Don't rely on third party hype - it may be a scam!

Hi, there. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the land tour with Stephanie - she's awesome! We're sorry to hear you were confused with the itinerary re: the riverboat cruise. Since the "sea" section is a partnership with Savannah Riverboat, Gray Line Savannah doesn't have control over the times the boat departs. We'll pass your comments on to management. We appreciate you taking the time to write a thoughtful review.

After a wrong stop, we did find the right location for this tour finally. Be aware there are a LOT of tour companies in one small area! Our guide, Stephanie was good for the land touring portion, and we truly appreciated the open top van as the 2 people in front of us stunk with cigarette smoke. They were also the ones that arrived 10 minutes late AND came back to the van late from the one and only stop we made. Not the companies fault, but these 2 delays prevented anyone on the tour from getting a little lunch at the many fun places on River street before boarding the river cruise. (No hour and a half gap as promoted) If your policy is arrive on time or be left behind, you need to stick to it! The tour itself was informative and a quick overview of all the squares and historic buildings. We did not like the "drop and run" end portion of the tour. Several of us wandered up and down River street trying to find the right 'blue awning' we were told to go to register for the riverboat. This needs to be rethought out by Gray Line. Along that line, a better system needs to be put in place for returning to the visitor center. I KNOW we were told about the DOT system, but there weren't enough maps for us all, and, I'm sorry, but all this information being verbally conveyed in a rushed manner as we were stopped at the river drop off point made it a bit stressful. Perhaps a nice handout would help ease the confusion? (It wasn't just us) The Riverboat was just okay. I had thought there would be much more history information instead of the shipping industry spiel we heard. I would not recommend this for any families with small children - they'll be bored after 15 minutes. I will say, though, that the food available was reasonably priced and large portions. All in all, I don't think this was a good value for what we paid. I wish now that we had done the hop-on hop-off trolly instead.

Hi, there. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. We're not wild about smoky smelling passengers, either. We appreciate your suggestions about maps and we'll pass them on to management. We hope you enjoyed Savannah in the spring time :)

This was a fun way to see Savannah in when you only have a day. The riverboat cruise was really fun and the land tour was a good overview. But the best part of the experience for us was the fabulous custom service from Jamie Grafton of Kelly Tours. She understood our timing situation and accommodated it. She answered all my questions through email and even called me. Great customer service!
