This was one of the best ghost tours I have ever been on. The stories were very interesting and it was a good balance of walking and sitting while hearing the stories.
Our tour guide was amazing! I believe her name was Juliana. She really got into the stories and really captured the history of Savannah. I would highly recommend this tour if you love ghost stories.
Ray was the best tour guide, story teller, and helper to the wheelchair user in our group! We all were very engaged in his quality stories of each stop on the agenda! One of us had goosebumps from one of the stories. I would definitely highly recommend and request Ray! It made our visit in Savannah for my young adult college kid (Savanah) even better! Thank you so much Ray!!
Loved this experience! Julianna was a great tour guide. It was great we got our own headphones so that way everyone could hear just fine no matter how far you might be lagging in the back. This was our first tour like this, and we would definitely recommend.
Juliana was great! She was very knowledgeable and did a great job of bringing levity to rather heavy or darker parts of history. This is something we've never done before, and didn't know what to expect, but we really enjoyed the tour. Even though it was labor day weekend, it was still very hot and humid, so would recommend taking water with you.
Jovi was the best tour guide. He was personable, knowledgeable and quite a history teller! The headsets were awesome . It was better to be able to hear him!
This is a WALKING tour! Rain or shine you will be walking all over the historical district. Our host, Julianna, was amazing and brought umbrellas for everyone. She was very entertaining and friendly and I greatly appreciate the radio receivers with headphones so we didn't have to strain to hear the stories.
It was ok. Julianna told interesting stories. She was very dramatic, would have preferred less drama and more info. A mobile vs a walking tour probably would have covered more ground. No pictures of ghosts to share.
The ear phones were a neat idea to hear her stories.
Ray is a great guide! He was knowledgeable, thoughtful about the groups needs and feelings. It was a joy to spend part of our evening with him!
My husband, adult son and I thoroughly enjoyed our nighttime tour with Julianna. She was animated, engaging and a wonderful story teller.
Julianna was amazing! I would definitely try and see if you can go on her tour. She was a great factual story teller and made the experience very enjoyable.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a mix of personal and historical stories. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Savannah. Lots of walking so wear comfy shoes!
Wonderful experience- guide Ray was top notch! Full of information, in depth stories and very funny!
Juliana was an incredible tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about our tour. She went above and beyond to make sure that everyone had an amazing tour. Because of her alone I would highly recommend the tour. My partner and I are still talking about the tour almost a week later. I attached a few photos below that may or may not be something. I took these photos on the tour but only saw what could be a few possible ghosts that were there in one shot but not in the next. Also, the clothing while grainy seems to look out of place with modern times. I only saw these after reviewing all of our photos later on after the tour.
Julietta was amazing!!! Her knowledge of Savannah's history was outstanding. She was extremely charismatic and is a true storyteller. So glad we went with a local tour company that was genuine and not commercialized. 10 stars.
Our tour guide, Ray, was both engaging and well-informed. We enjoyed the ghost stories and the historical insights about Savannah. Absolutely worth the time and the cost.
Fun historical facts woven in with hauntings. CT was a good story teller! We did have a young 5 year old boy on our tour who got scared so would not recommend for young children.
I have been to multiple ghost tours and this was the best one yet! Julianna was amazing, fun, very energetic, kept the crowd engaged, personable, great story teller and an awesome impersonator and improviser (George Clooney .. hahaha).
We had a great time! Our guide was Julianna and she sure could tell a story that kept you captivated.
Julianna was an excellent tour guide…. Sharing a perfect mix of history of the city paired with the most spectacular ghost tales of Savannah! Thank you!
I was hoping for the husband or wife as the site lead me to believe were the tour guides. Another female gave the tour. It was a decent tour, longer than the advertised hour & 50 minutes. We started a bit later than expected, but that could have been b/c there were about 18 of us. It was more history than ghost stories.
All of us had ear pieces to enhance the group with hearing the guide. She was knowledgeable & enthusiastic. A bit soft-spoken (& it was not b/c my ear piece was too low).
Quite hot out for an evening tour & the mosquitos swarmed every time we stopped. It rained on us for a quick 5 minutes & guide had us scurry around a corner to a covered area. We were pooped from all the walking & the humidity.
Quite a lot of history on this tour. Informative & interesting.

Hey! This is T.C., the husband on the site. I host tours and Brenna is behind the scenes.
We have a the best team of public historians in Savannah, and thankful for each of their talents.
The night you joined us, I was probably hosting another group. Plus, we’re open 7 days a week and if I hosted every night, 2-3 tours per night, that wouldn’t be fun for anyone, especially my family.
We’re thankful y’all joined us, especially on a hot and muggy Summer night. It’s definitely an experience to embrace in the Deep South, especially for the hosts, who are working.
Whew! We love it.
If Ray is your guide you will have a great experience!
My 14 year old l asked to do the tour and she oved it.
It was a beautiful breezy night in savanah too listen to spirit stories.
It was a great historically accurate tour. No gimmicks or tall tales. Our guide, Ray, was a great story teller.
Our tour was amazing, exceeded our expectations. You can tell when someone loves what they do, and she totally does. Stories were historically accurate, entertaining and spooky.
We had a great time! This was one of the better tours I've taken in Savannah. Jovy was our guide and he was very knowledgeable. Loaded with historical information and details about the families, homes and squares!!
I had a fantastic time Jovy was an amazing tour guide! He knew how to keep your attention and seemed to care a lot about the people he was guiding and was just a very nice guy!
Julianna was exceptionally wonderful with explaining events! The use of headsets is great to make sure everyone can hear her clearly.
Sooooo good! Really educational and the headphones/radios were such a nice touch to make sure everyone could hear. THANK YOU!
We had a group of 12 women and because we had such a large group we assumed it would just be us and the tour guide. I would say there was about 25 to 30 people total which in my opinion is completely too many for this kind of tour. I’ve actually never been on a tour with this money people and it definitely is something I would not do again. The tour guide was perfectly nice. She wasn’t the best storyteller and was kind of just rambling a bit eight of us left the tour about halfway through because we were honestly just really bored.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hey, Boo! Wow, it sounds like you were expecting a private tour. Our public tours are fantastic fun because you get to meet people from all over the world and share in the fun of haunted savannah all together. We cap those tours between 22-25 depending on the day of the week. In the future if you book an excursion with a company and want it to be private, you’re going to want to be sure you book a private tour. It can be hard to ask for what you want in life, but it really does make all the difference. Have a great day!
The guide was very friendly and new a lot of the history. I definitely want to go back and visit sometime of the places he said was haunted. He did a great job. He needs a bonus.
