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!!
Paige_R, Jul 2026
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.
Jessi_S, Jul 2026
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.
Phyllis_S, Jul 2026
TC is a great storyteller and the graphics added to the spooky stories. The ear buds enabled everyone on the tour to hear the narration which was so much more enjoyable than having a tour guide trying to speak loudly enough so all could hear.
John_S, Jul 2026
Ray was an awesome tour guide! It was not what I was expecting, in a good way! He had lots of fascinating stories about Savannah's darker side. Real history with just the right amount of unexplained sprinkled in to make your mind wander. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone interested the chilling aspects or just looking for an entertaining walking tour!
K_U, Jul 2026
Amazing experience! The facts woven into legends was very interesting. It kept me intrigued the entire tour.
Amina_J, Jul 2026
Julie Anna was incredible. Great story telling, very passionate about the city. She did a really great job - would highly recommend!
Adrienne_A, Jul 2026
Tour was very informative & interesting. Highly recommend. (PS. If coming during the summer bring a fan 😎)
Ashlyn_Q, Jul 2026
We had a great time! Jovy was great and made our trip to Savannah very memorable! The walking was very doable, would recommend comfortable shoes. The weather cooled off in the evening which made it enjoyable and it was nice to walk around and see the city at night.
Joanne_R, Jul 2026
Rich was so much fun we loved his stories and especially his personal one - what a beautiful graveyard and so much history to take in. Thanks y’all!!
Allison_B, Jul 2026
Julianna was AMAZING and did a fabulous job. Our group was intrigued by her stories and there was a perfect blend of murder, history, and poltergeists!
Danielle_S, Jul 2026
Our guide was a great storyteller. I was worried about my younger sons (8 and 11) being bored the opposite happened. They want more ghost tours in their future! Thank you!
Carla_A, Jul 2026
Juliana was a wonderful storyteller. My 14 and 12 yo daughters enjoyed hearing all the history via storytelling that made it come alive. Pointing out haunted homes to stay in was also a highlight as well as her own ghostly adventures in Savannah. We went in early July and I highly recommend bug spray for mosquitoes and watch out for the larger than life cockroaches!
April_K, Jul 2026
Excellent tour...loved the history. Our guide Jovi couldn't have been better. Highly recommend. It was my first time in Savannah and this was the first activity we did. My friend wasn't as excited about the ghost part, but still had a good time and also gave 5 Stars (even if she isn't booking a haunted room for our next visit)
Katherine_S, Jun 2026
Our guide was TC and he was super informative. He had great stories about the Savannah history and hauntings. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it!

Jessica_G, Jun 2026
I absolutely loved this tour! We decided to do this on our first night in savannah and it was such a fun way to kick off our trip. TC was extremely engaging and I love how he blended the history of Savannah with the paranormal. We covered so much in this tour as well! This is a tour that I would love to do again next time I come to Savannah and is a must see/do!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Jessica! Thank you for taking the time and writing. I appreciate and value your kindness. I really enjoyed hosting y’all and hope that the rest of your visit to Savannah was fun and you created lasting memories. Please come back in the future. Cheers! - T.C.

It’s two hours long and not great for kids. Our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable but new. It kind of dragged on. The kids that were along for the tour grew quite tired. My partner did too, and we love ghost tours.
Matt_M, Jun 2026
Great tour. He was a good story teller. Not a difficult walk. There were about 15 people on the tour but the headsets helped. I would recommend!
Courtney_W, Jun 2026

One of the highlights of our trip was the Genteel & Bard Ghost Tour. Our guide, Jovy, was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Savannah.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Your words perfectly describe Jovy. He is knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. Thank you for the 5 stars! - T.C.
Tim_S, Jun 2026
Our tour guide Jovi did a fantastic job. He was a great storyteller and the tour was packed with great dark history of the city. Plus, the provided ear pieces were great. It was really nice to be able to hear our guide clearly the entire time, regardless of where we were standing.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Jovy is one of Savannah’s best guides. We love that y’all enjoyed your evening with him and Genteel & Bard. - T.C.
Adrienne_H, Jun 2026
This is the tour to go on! Ray was our guide and was super knowledgeable and fun. A bonus was the ear pieces to make it easy to hear. Interesting, factual ghost stories packed full of history. Loved that he had pictures and newspaper articles on his iPad to go along with the stories and locations. 10/10 must do
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Fun, insightful history of some of the historical places of ghosts in the area. Julianna was delightful and witty. We visited some of the places I have seen on documentaries

Angela_V, Jun 2026
Our guide was wonderful! The time went quickly since we were so focused on her stories. There were opportunities to sit at some of the stops. I would put bug spray on before the tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hey Angela!
Thank you for the 5 stars and happy you enjoyed your guide. I fully agree about the bug spray for the beginning part of our walking tour. Thankfully they go away after the dark history ghost encounter tour commences.
