What guests said

The darker tour was exactly what we wanted — real history, genuinely unsettling, and not a costume in sight.

Priya M.

Went at 10pm after the family crowds cleared out. The stories were grim and completely gripping.

James O.

Our guide clearly knew the real history. Kept documented fact and legend apart, which somehow made it scarier.

Great tour with local expert

We really enjoyed the Tour. Nico (Nick) was a longtime local and had so much personal knowledge about Savannah, including all the history and local lore. He made the tour interesting, fun, and family friendly! Definitely recommend!

A spooky good time

Brenna (I hope I’m spelling that right) was lovely and fun. The tour is a great length and isn't overwhelmed or underwhelmed with stories. This is the one to take in Savannah!

Entertaining tour

Our guide Breanna was very funny and engaging. She shared some pictures and video at some locations and had a lot of information. The only thing I'd say for improvement is to have a light at the fountain pickup spot - it was very dark and most of us sat around at the nearby benches waiting and only happened to notice our guide when our group and the guide were each wondering if we'd been stood up! There were 3 groups, 16 in all, and in her dark clothing standing by a dark fountain at night the guide was incredibly easy to miss! The tour is not strenuous walking, there are several spots to sit for many of the spots and it loops back very close to the starting point.

Informative and Entertaining

We really enjoyed the Spirits & Scoundrels Tour with Brenna! The stories were interesting, entertaining, and a fun way to learn about some of Savannah’s more colorful history. Brenna was engaging and did a great job keeping the group interested throughout the tour. The walking portion was easy and comfortable, and we felt completely safe walking around Savannah at that time of night. My only suggestion would be to update the website with the nearest cross streets for the meeting location at Lafayette Square. For visitors who aren’t familiar with Savannah, that little bit of extra information would make finding the starting point easier. Overall, a fun and enjoyable evening and a great way to experience Savannah after dark!

Eerie Ghost Tour

This tour exceeded my expectations. It was very factual where it was linking true stories and history into hauntings and sightings. Walking back to our accommodation definitely felt rather eerie too after everything our guide showed us.
