Savannah tour reviews: five tours, and only one drives into Wormsloe
Five bookable tours sit behind this site, and I have written an honest page on each. Sort yourself before you read them, because one fact settles most of it: only the Bonaventure and Wormsloe tour actually turns in at the Wormsloe gate. The trolley, the overview bus, the golf cart and the private day are good Savannah products that stay in town or in the cemetery, and the honest way to use them is as city context around a self-drive out to the Isle of Hope — which is what the Wormsloe tours page spells out. And whichever you pick, know what waits at the end of the oak avenue: ruins a few feet high, a museum, trails, and no house to tour.
The five, reviewed
Bonaventure Cemetery & Wormsloe State Historic Site Tour
The flagship, and the only tour on this list that drives through the Wormsloe gate. Warm on its guides, honest about its bus.

Savannah: Old Town Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley Tour
The biggest review base in the city, and two complaints its own reviewers keep filing. It does not stop at Wormsloe.

Savannah: Old Savannah Tours Historic Overview
The cheapest city tour here: you stay on the bus, someone else narrates, and one reviewer booked it entirely by accident.
from $35Read the full review ›
Savannah: Bonaventure Cemetery Golf Cart Guided Tour
Best-rated on the list, cemetery only, and the golf cart is the reason — the reviews are mostly about the heat.

Savannah: Historic Districts & Bonaventure Private Tour
A perfect score from six people. The page says that number out loud in every paragraph, because six is not a track record.

The five pools, largest first: 1,862, 997, 285, 256 and 6. The first four are evidence. The last is a start, and its page says so rather than letting a 5.0 do work six people cannot support. Now read the scores against the pools. The golf cart carries the highest number, 4.9, on 256 reviews; the trolley carries 4.7 on 1,862, which is a harder score to hold. The flagship’s 4.8 from 285 sits in between and is the only one of the five where the rating is telling you anything about Wormsloe at all. A tour that never goes there cannot be rated on whether it went there well, which is why the comparison that matters is not stars against stars — it is the fork laid out at all tours and priced at tour prices.
How I handle the quotes and the numbers
Every quote on these pages is a real traveller review from the listing, word for word, trimmed only at sentence boundaries. I do not merge two reviewers, tidy anyone’s spelling or capitalisation, or name the operator company behind a tour; guides are named only where a reviewer named them first. Ratings, counts and prices are GetYourGuide’s figures at the time of writing, which is why a live calendar sits on every page rather than a promise. Gate admission to Wormsloe is a separate matter entirely, set by the state and covered at tickets and prices. If you would rather skip the reviews and read the place itself, start with what is actually there.
Frequently asked questions
Which Savannah tour actually takes you to Wormsloe?
One: the Bonaventure Cemetery and Wormsloe tour, reviewed in full at the flagship review. It drives out from Savannah, pairs Wormsloe with Bonaventure Cemetery and takes most of the day. Every other product on this site stays in town or in the cemetery, which the Wormsloe tours page says plainly rather than padding the list.
Should I take a tour or just drive myself?
Drive yourself if you want the photograph at opening time and do not mind the wheel; take the tour if you want the history told to you and someone else parking. The site is about 8 miles southeast of downtown — see how to get there — and the money either way is worked through at tour prices.
Can I trust a tour rated 5.0 by six people?
Treat it as a promising start, not a verdict. Six people describe six days, and one bad morning would move an average that small a long way. The private tour review repeats the number in every section for exactly that reason, and weighs it against the tours with hundreds or thousands of ratings behind them.
Are these reviews independent?
Yes. I am not a tour operator and nothing is sold here — booking links go to GetYourGuide and earn a commission at no cost to you, as set out at the affiliate disclosure. The evidence it buys nothing: the page you are on tells you four of the five tours do not go where the site is named after, and the worth-it page talks some readers out of the trip altogether.
