Informative and entertaining tour! - David was our guide. He was super knowledgeable and full of interesting stories about Cumberland's people and places. (We were with a cycling group, although not riding that day.) I daresay it was one of the best guided tours I have experienced. The island is truly beautiful!

Insiders look of Cumberland Island - David was our tour guide. I am very knowledgeable about Cumberland Island's human and natural history. David was accurate and entertaining. He has thoroughly researched many aspects of Cumberland. I highly recommend Molly's Old South Tours and David as a guide

Do it!!!!! Beautiful Island even in the rain! - What a fun time! The weather was absolutely awful when we got on the ferry. We were super unsure if we made the right decision. As we got off the ferry our tour guide Debbie was there waiting for us. She was so delightful and packed our brains with so much knowledge about the island and the people who lived there. Lots of fun and interesting tidbits to make it more relatable. We really enjoyed our time and it was all due to our wonderful Debbie! We both echoed that we wouldn't have had a good time just wandering the island without the tour. Thanks again!

A wealth of knowledge! - Deb was an amazing tour guide! Her knowledge if the history of the island was so deep and she made the tour interesting and fun! We could not have had the same experience on our own. We have a deeper appreciation for Cumberland Island after this. You will be so happy if you book this experience!

Cumberland Experience with David - The whole day with David from Molly’s Tours was just terrific. We was most knowledgeable, friendly and interjected many interesting tales that brought centuries of Cumberland to life.

Informative, but not worth the money - We took this tour on December 30th, 2024. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We were a bit disappointed that the tour ended 40 minutes early at the cemetery. He did offer to answer any questions on the way back to the ferry terminal. We felt he could have talked about some of the other structures around the Dungeness Ruins. He also didn’t ask for ticket confirmation which was a bit odd if someone wanted to tagalong. For the money and your cut short by almost half the time, I’d recommend doing the audio tour the NPS offers on your phone.
