Guide was entertaining. He interacted with the whole group. That was nice and added to the entertainment.

The tour was not what we had expected. Two hours was way too long for the tour based on the information that was presented. Several people in the group were also disappointed.
I would compare it to a high school theater production. It was probably more "dark" than "ghostly".

Great tour, a lot of fun! Ashley was very energetic in her story telling. She wove in some personal stories that made the whole experience very authentic. The bugs are hungry in the evening bring your repellant.

Ashley did a great job on our walking tour. I highly recommend this!!! She was factual, funny and entertaining!!!

Julianne was an amazing guide. She brought the history of Savannahs dark side to life. Be prepared to do lots of walking which was my only challenge, but even if I was behind, I didn't miss a beat thanks to the audio and ear pieces. Nice

This was more than just a ghost tour, but a great tour of Savannah overall - our guide provided great ghost stories but also great history of the city in general - I would highly recommend this tour to any tourists or newcomers to Savannah

I was pleasantly surprised by the breadth of historical information our guide Leslie was able to include in our tour. I expected to fill my belly, not my brain. I would recommend the tour to fellow foodies and hungry travelers. The last two stops were my favorite as I cannot resist sweet treats, especially ice cream.

Ashley was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable with both ghosts & Savannah history. Really loved the individual headphones. It made the tour more enjoyable because you could always hear all the juicy details. :)
Paul_M, Apr 2024
If you believe in ghosts and the super natural then you would probably enjoy this. If you don't, then set your expectations low. Our guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to REALLY believe. I had booked it, with the hope that it would be fun and campy, but it's a serious tour for true believers or at least people who are open to the idea. The history that goes along with the stories and houses is interesting, but I was looking at the time half way through. I don't fault the tour company for this, but I just don't believe the stories so it wasn't a good fit for me.

Fun and interesting. Good variety of if stories. Ashley is a great storyteller. Savannah at night is beautiful.
