Full Description
Savannah's city centre from a comedy trolley
Savannah's historic centre is built on a grid of leafy public squares laid out in 1733, and a trolley is the easiest way to link them. This tour moves slowly through the streets while the two guides perform, so you see the squares, the grand houses and the oaks draped in Spanish moss while hearing the history behind them. For people searching for a Savannah comedy tour or a funny Savannah trolley tour, it offers history without the lecture.
The route is shaped around the city centre and the stories rather than a list of stops, so you stay seated and enjoy the show. The tone is playful and a little saucy, with jokes aimed at adults and older teenagers, which is why the tour is suited to guests aged thirteen and over.
The comedy show: skits, songs and costume changes
What sets this tour apart is the performance. The two comedy guides mix sketches with musical numbers and quick costume changes, turning the trolley into a small stage, and they play with the audience as they go. Facts are woven into the jokes, so you learn how the colony began, how the city grew rich on cotton and how it survived the Civil War.
If you have already taken a serious tour, this one gives you the same landmarks with a different mood. If you have not, it is a good first look before choosing places to visit on your own. Because the humour is live, no two rides are exactly alike, and the guides adapt to the group.
History, squares and quirky stories
Behind the jokes sit real stories. James Oglethorpe founded Savannah in 1733 as the first city of the new colony of Georgia, and the squares were part of his plan for the town. During the Civil War the city escaped the burning that struck much of the region, and its historic buildings survive today, which is why the old centre feels so complete.
The guides share the oddities too, from the city's old reputation for ghost stories to the local characters who shaped its streets. If you are asking what to do in Savannah in the evening or afternoon, a comedy tour is a good way to learn the city and enjoy it in the same ninety minutes.
The comfort break and planning your ride
Halfway through the tour the trolley stops at a local restaurant, so you can use the restroom and have water; food and drinks are available there to buy but are not included. The stop is short, and the show carries on afterwards.
The tour leaves at 14:00 and lasts one and a half hours, so it fits after lunch. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons; in summer the trolley is a pleasant way to see the city out of the midday heat. Check your voucher for the exact meeting point and arrive a little early so the group can start on time.
