5.00We booked a tour for our 39th anniversary. When we arrived at the tour stop our guide, Jac, was sitting on the cart excitedly waiting for us. We got lucky, there was one other couple on our time slot so we had an almost private tour. Jac is obviously in love with the area and she was very passionate about the history and the preservation of the island and she was so knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend it to others. Thanks again.

5.00Good for people who want a quick tour to learn facts about Tybee island Tour is about 1 hr and 15 mintues. you get one main photo stop at the light house but if you want to have other photos you can ask and they will let you. But the only official stop for a photo is at the lighthouse. To start the tour we met at the Sugar Shack Ice cream shop. I was able to park in the customer parking area. Parking is a little tight on the island so make sure you park in an area not reserved or restricted.
