Best tour - This was one of the best tours we have been on. Our guide made sure we were physically comfortable providing blankets, hand warmers, and a cover for the golf cart so the cold was not a factor. She was so knowledgeable about the island. She shared both historical facts along with fun facts.

Nature and history with a local expert - Arriving at the Sugar Shack on Tybee Island, we met our tour guide, Jack, who greeted us warmly and made sure that we were comfortably blanketed in the six-seater golf cart on a sunny but cool January day. The tour exceeded my expectations- Jack’s background as a professor and her love of nature gave us deep insights into the history and culture of the island and the biodiversity of its flora and fauna made it a unique and rich experience. Highly recommend!

Great tour - This was the very best part of our trip to the Savannah area. Our tour guide, Jack, was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was clear that she loved her community, and wanted to share it with us. She was also very pleasant and personable. We were a bit worried about an open golf cart tour in January, but she had plenty of blankets and "warm hands" packets to make it more comfortable. Overall, it was a fun and interesting historical tour of a really pretty place.

Educational - Excellent and informative. Even in the rain we enjoyed the tour. I'd recommend bringing a jacket but it was worth it.

This tour was fantastic!... - This tour was fantastic! Jack was wonderful - she was incredibly knowledgeable, as well as kind and funny. We were a family of four - two adults and two kids - and we all really enjoyed it. We highly recommend this tour, it gave us so much more insight into Tybee beyond just being a beach location. And don't be afraid to go on a cold day, Jack had blankets for all and we were very comfortable on a rather chilly day.
