Highlights
- Tybee Island - Prepare for an engaging and educational experience! Our knowledgeable guide will initiate the journey at the North beach and Savannah river, delving into its use by the island’s native inhabitants 600 years prior. The excursion provides narratives and anecdotes that evoke the island’s enchanting history, spanning from its native people, to pirates, early British colonists, and its evolution to contemporary times. The often-neglected North End of Tybee harbors a wealth of historical insights regarding early settlers and military significance, including the storied Fort Screven. The breezy, open-air tour promises to elicit joy as you absorb vistas known mostly to locals, and hear tales that only a well-versed historian could convey with such precision and fervor.

We wholeheartedly... - We wholeheartedly recommend this excursion to interested parties coming to the island! Jac is amazing with her wealth of knowledge and facts about Tybee. There was never a dull moment in our tour and she kept us engaged, entertained and amused with her presentation. Her recommendation for lunch at the North Beach Bar and Grill was spot-on !! Thanks, Jac!!

Lots of fun, go early as it gets hot these days - My wife and I went on this tour on either the 26th or 27th of June, old age. Our tour guide was named Jac and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The tour lasts around 1.5 hours and we went on the 10:00 a.m. tour. You meet in a central location, hop on an 8 person golf cart and away we go. Jac gave us tons on information about the island and Fort and the timiing for each stop was just about right. I highly encourage it and would go back. Well done!

Unparalleled Opportunity to learn more than you ever thought you could about Tybee. - In my family of five, who all travel pretty significantly and always enjoy tours, none of us can remember one any better than this. Jackie was amazing. You have no idea how much you don’t know about a place until you learn it. On this tour, she shared information I don’t think we could have found anywhere else based on her extensive experience and research on the island. I don’t think in my whole lifetime I have ever left more than two or three reviews of anything, but I really appreciate the opportunity to come here and share that this tour experience was magnificent.

Incredible, extensive history shared with enthusiasm and passion! - Jaq did an incredible job of educating us all as to Tybee’s North Beach history. Have had a second home there for 20 years and didn’t know 95% of what she shared. In addition to her extensive knowledge of the area, her passion and enthusiasm were contagious! One of the best, if not the best, tours I’ve been on, and I’ve been on many. Can’t wait for her to flesh out the South Beach tour. We’ll definitely participate when it becomes available! Fantastic!
