Each year we begin ticket sales for our Premium Trolley Tickets on November 15. This way, we know how that we can fill our trolleys before regular tickets sales begin. The reason we do this is to allow scheduler and guides and to make sure they have plenty of time to prepare for the customized tour. In the past we have had two trolleys per day, so this year we added one more trolley each day for a total of 6 trolleys. Six trolleys, times the number of guests, 32 on each trolley, means we sold 192 tickets. This represents 16% of possible sales based on our limit of 1200 guests for the NOGS Tour of Hidden Gardens. On December 1 our General Admission tickets went on sale. The difference between the two types of tickets is that Premium guests get the trolley tour included in the price of their ticket. Both groups enjoy the southern tea and self-guided walking tour of the gardens in the historic residential district of Savannah.
Old Town Trolley has been a wonderful partner, giving back to the city of Savannah through the horticultural grants generated by ticket sales, as an in-kind sponsor. They supply the trolley and a professional driver/guide. Their guides have a wealth of knowledge about Savannah and provide the safest possible experience for passengers. They have many tours and we highly recommend you use their services on future trips to Savannah.
Purchase a Combo ticket this year and enjoy an exclusive private tour previewing your walking route of the gardens. Old Town Trolley guides will share their stories of Savannah and our Garden Club docents will fill you in about the Savannah landscape, plant tips, fun facts, and historic gardening practices.
