5.00Jacqueline (sp?) has an amazing background and passion for history. This is evident from her deep knowledge of the area's history and historical perspective. Presented in a series of stories making the events alive and interesting. She probably could go on longer than the 90 min. with her deep wealth of facts. Lively delivery makes me want more. It was over too soon. I want to go back again. Everyone should take the tour!

5.00This was a great experience. My family had a wonderful time. We learned so much about Tybee Island and the history. The houses and the barracks were so beautiful, and seeing the architecture of the buildings still standing was incredible. I love that the island uses what has been there and doesn’t change it (much). The theatre is absolutely beautiful and the story behind it makes it more magical. We can’t wait to come back to Tybee to go climb the Lighthouse and see the fortress. Thank you for a wonderful visit.
Don't miss this!

5.00You are not rushed. The tour lasted nearly 2 hours. You can stay on the cart, or get off and stretch your legs when stopped. The guide has a wealth of historical knowledge, as well as interesting, but maybe not all true, tales of the past. She answers all questions and will even take group pictures for you. She truly loves Tybee Island and it shows! Great value! Great tour!
Great Tour of Tybee Island!
