Step aboard Old Town Trolley Tour's latest offering, "Savannah for Morons," a sidesplitting comedy tour that provides a hilarious take on nearly 300 years of Savannah's history in just 90 uproarious minutes. This unconventional and whimsical history lesson, designed for both "morons" and their slightly more enlightened friends, boasts an array of wildly entertaining comedy sketches, musical interludes, costume changes, quirky character appearances, and a wealth of Savannah's captivating history. Hosted by the infamous Moron Twins, Dannie and Danny Moron, this rollicking tour through Savannah offers a backstage pass to practically every significant moment in the city's rich, intricate, and sometimes inebriated past and present. From the establishment of the Georgia colony to the Civil War, from little-known Paula Deen trivia to the significance of the Forrest Gump bench, you'll laugh and learn your way through Savannah's colorful heritage.
This is a comedy tour first and a history lesson second. Over roughly 90 minutes it runs through nearly 300 years of Savannah's past using sketches, musical bits, costume changes, and quirky characters, hosted by the Moron Twins. That makes it a fit for visitors who want to laugh their way through the city's story and would find a straight historical walk too dry, and for groups looking for entertainment as much as information. Given the comedic, sometimes irreverent tone, it leans toward adults and older kids over very young children.
Savannah supports many tour styles, from earnest history walks to its well-known after-dark ghost circuit, and this one carves out the humor lane. The trade-off is obvious: you get jokes, character appearances, and a light touch over deep scholarly detail. If you want a reverent or spooky evening, other formats serve better. If you want an entertaining, fast-moving romp through Savannah's colorful past, this is built for exactly that.
