Best part of day in Savannah!

Jenny_K, Apr 2024

Dan led our tour. He was a master storyteller and kept us entertained the whole time. It was our hard to impress 15 year olds favorite part of our trip as well as the rest of the family, which included our 11 yr old. We would definitely recommend this to family and friends. We loved learning about the haunted history by candlelight!

Excellent tour of Savannah with a mix of history and ghost stories.

Superb

DAVID_g, Apr 2024

Excellent storytelling. A great experience for the whole family. Indelible memories for us all. Family is reading up on all ghost stories in Savannah now!

A little bit underwhelming

Jennifer_B, Apr 2024

Our guide was by far the most memorable part of our tour! Very knowledgeable very animated made it fun for everybody. I’m only giving it three stars as we thought based on the brochure and the information about the tour online that we were actually going to maybe go into houses, graveyards, etc. to possibly experience the supernatural! It is not that at all. It’s a great tour though and a great place to start if you’re interested in that kind of thing.

Great tour!

Amy_H, Apr 2024

Great information about the history of Savannah along with ghost stories. Highly recommend joining this one while visiting.

Learning history and having fun
