  My husband and I greatly enjoyed both tours with Molly. (The Cumberland Island and Fugitives, Fighters, and Fudge)    I was surprised to see so many people on the ferry yet her tour was not full.                So, I hope the word gets out:  The best way to "see" Cumberland Island is through Molly's fantastic description of the its history.  (We'd recommend to then take the later ferry and enjoy lunch at the ruins and then walk to the beach.)          Molly is knowledgeable and clearly enjoys sharing interesting stories and facts of St Marys and Cumberland Island.  She will also give you guidance on how else you can enjoy the island and the town.  Thank you, Molly!! :)

  Molly is a wonderful tour guide.  She was so knowledgable and interesting that were actually able to visualize the experiences she was describing to us.  We highly recommend her Cumberland Island Walking Tour and will use her again in the future.  Thanks Molly for making our first experience on Cumberland Island so much fun, and so informative.

  My sister and I took the tour of Cumberland Island on February 9, 2024, and unfortunately I do not remember the name of our tour guide 😞, but he was PHENOMENAL!  He knew a ton of history about the island, the families, the wildlife, the buildings, the grounds, and the ruins. It was well worth the money! Our group had people that appeard to be 40+ years old and the pace of the walking tour was just right; no one was left behind. I'm so glad we did the tour with a guide from Molly's and highly recommend it to anyone who may be considering. Our guide is in a couple of the photos with a white shirt and backpack.

  This walking tour of Cumberland Island was perfect for first time visitors!  We could have walked around on our own and never seen places with significant history. Having Deb as our guide brought the place to life with colorful stories and anecdotes! The time flew by and was such a great experience!
