Finding the perfect Hop-on Hop-off pass duration

Whether you're here for a quick getaway or a deeper dive into the city’s famous sights, choosing the right pass is the first step to making the most of your tour. If you've got just one day to spare, the 1-day pass is your express ticket to hit all the must-see spots. You’ll cruise through it all at your own pace, hopping off wherever catches your eye, and still have plenty of time to soak in the city’s vibe.

However, if you’re looking to take it slow, savor every moment, and maybe even sneak in a few extra food stops, the hop-on hop-off Savannah 2-day pass is the way to go. With double the time, you can hop on and off as much as you like, and revisit your favorite spots and sights of Savannah. Plus, having two days gives you more time to linger in those charming squares and take a break from sightseeing when you need it.

Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Savannah tour

The squares are the heart of Savannah, each with its unique charm. Be sure to hop off the Savannah trolley tour during the golden hour and wander through them for a photo op.

Indulge in Savannah’s classic dishes like shrimp and grits or crispy fried lobster tails. Grab a bite at Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room or The Olde Pink House for a true taste of Southern comfort! But, make sure to make a reservation or arrive early as the places are often packed with locales and tourists.

Savannah’s historic homes have some stunning gardens tucked away. The Owens-Thomas House close to Columbia Square bus stop is particularly famous for its hidden garden, offering a peaceful escape in the middle of the city.

If you’re in the mood for some entertainment, hop off at the Lucas Theatre. It’s not only an architectural gem but also hosts a variety of performances.

Take advantage of your 2-day pass and switch up your day tour with a haunted house visit after dark or take a guided gravestones tour. The Old Sorrel-Weed House is one of the most notorious and perfect for thrill-seekers who want a late-night spook.

We enjoyed our experience with the Hop On & Hop Off Trolley! The driver were knowledgeable and entertaining. It awesome way to see Savannah and to get oriented with where some of the highlights & landmarks are located. It's also a wonderful opportunity to be able to get off and on at many of the places that are worth visiting. A great way to visit Savannah without wearing out your shoes.

Ticketing sone easily on the ap. Just showed it to driver each time we boarded after a hop off. Best way to get around Savannah with informative dialog from the drivers who were well studied in the history of the town.

We enjoyed hearing about the history of the city. We did wish it didn't move quite so quickly. There were times we didn't even know which building or item was being talked about and did not have much time for pictures. We also waited a the trolley for quite some time at a few of the stops. A few more trolleys would be nice, if possible.

It was very easy purchasing my tickets on line. I highly recommended riding the trolley. The drivers do a great job telling you about points of interest throughout the tour. It was also nice to be able to get off and look around when we wanted. We never had to wait long for another trolley to come.

We had multiple drivers and the key to a good experience are the anecdotes and stories about the historic sites. One guide had remarkable personal experiences to enhance the experience.
