Shadows of Savannah

Step into Savannah’s darker heart, where beauty and brutality once walked hand in hand beneath the gaslight. The City of Secrets True Crime Tour leads you through the city’s most notorious streets, where whispered confessions, unsolved murders, and scandalous affairs once stained the cobblestones.

Follow the trail of intrigue through hidden lanes and shadowed squares, past mansions where power and deceit entwined behind shuttered windows. Each stop uncovers a story of greed, jealousy, and vengeance—real crimes that shocked Savannah and left echoes that never quite faded.

From elegant parlors to prison cells, this journey reveals the city behind the postcard, a Savannah of secrets and sins, where charm was often just a mask for something far more chilling. Whether by day’s last light or under the spell of midnight, the City of Secrets tour invites you to uncover the truths this beautiful city tried to bury.

City of Secrets is designed to begin at Wright Square, one of Savannah’s most historic and storied locations. Known as the “Square of Sorrows,” it has witnessed centuries of public trials, executions, and intrigue—making it the perfect starting point for a journey into the city’s true crime past. This self-guided experience leads you through Savannah’s shadowed streets and hidden corners, uncovering stories of scandal, betrayal, and justice gone awry at your own pace.

We recommend parking nearby in one of the public garages or metered spaces before beginning your walk. If you choose to drive during any part of the tour, please use a hands-free mobile setup and exercise caution, as downtown streets can be narrow and lively—especially after dark.

You can access your tour anytime, day or night, and begin your investigation into Savannah’s most infamous crimes whenever you’re ready.
