Not really a scary tour but worth taking to see the city at night
It’s great to see the sights at night, and get a different perspective than during the day.

Best Haunted Ride In Savannah by far!
Gary_S, Mar 2024
Our tour leader “ Miss Maria” was outstanding, was very entertaining, keeping everybody involved. Also was very easy to hear. I highly recommend asking for her “Miss Maria” you will not regret it. I believe one of my pictures you can see a orbe on my wife shoulder. I didn’t believe before but now I have proof. 👀 Best haunted show in Savannah by far. .

ok trip
Vivan_R, Mar 2024
our guide was allie. she knew her script but she spoke way to fast and dropped her voice a lot so it was hard to hear. i thought “ghosts and graveyards” was misleading. i thought we would be stopping at a graveyard and walking around, seeing graves and hearing stories.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We're so happy to hear that you had such a great time! Thank you for sharing your experience here. Come and visit us again!

not so ghostly
Erica_H, Mar 2024
We seemed to depart late. Host seemed to ramble on about stories the entire trolley ride. Seemed like there was never a break in her stories and we could not follow. Wish she would have taken a bit more time to talk more specifically about the history of the city and the buildings and their specific ghost stories. I honestly could only remember 1 story she told. Very scripted, including her jokes, and just not delivered well. Too theatrical. Wish it was more relaxed and ad hoc and not scripted. Would have liked to have gotten out of trolley more then we did (it rained and we could not go into cemetery). We had limited time in the home we did visit.

Family fun ghost tour

Enjoyed the host, Lin's, stories and energy! It was a fun, family friendly outing. My husband and I took our Adult daughter (25) and our 14 year old son. We all had a blast!

Content good, presenter not
Amanda_B, Mar 2024
A good tour but our presenter wasn’t good. It was hard to understand her and she spoke like she needed to take more breaths.

Dawn_M, Mar 2024
My friend and I got into town today for the St Patrick’s parade. We found the tour on line booked on a whim. The host MsGreene was funny and energetic. It was fun worth the money but so t take it too seriously

Not worth time and money
Sandra_D, Mar 2024
A little too contrived for me. I had expected to see more of the city and hear more about ghost sightings instead of hearing silly banter. The Lowe House stop was the only good part of the trip. Definitely could have done without the last stop. This tour was not worth my time and money .
