The history of Savannah is so fascinating and Dan can narrate it with flair. He presented a number of houses with a history of paranormal activity and explained what happened. He had us searching the address of our own Airbnb, as ghosts appear to take up residence with frequency. We really enjoyed this walking tour and his performance. It was great fun.

Great Overview of Savannah’s History

Karen_K, Sep 2026
Pops was a wonderful guide during our historical tour of Savannah. He was entertaining, knowledgeable and humorous.

The love and pride of historic Savannah

Jeanne_R, Sep 2026
We loved the tour of historic Savannah. Our narrator “Pops” was very informative and had a great sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed the interactions between Pops and the group. He truly has continued his civic duty as a police officer into his retirement as a tour guide/narrator. Excellent, job well done!!

Old Savannah Tours - Top notch with Pop

Adrienne_F, Sep 2026
Pop was an incredible tour guide. We have taken many Viator trolley tours, and this was the best one thus far. Pop was extremely knowledgeable about Savannah's history, and made the tour fun and interesting because he had everyone engaged in the history by asking questions. It was a wonderful experience.

Ghostly Vibes

I can’t say enough good about this tour… “Pops” was the Ultimate Fantastic guide. A wealth of knowledge, a witty sense of humor, and engaging. He was a great driver, respectful and courteous. This was well worth every dime. I would take it again in a heartbeat. I wish I could retain more of all the information that was shared. If you are deciding what to do, this is it….there were no stops, all tour and information provided.

Just the right amount
