The ghost tour to go on

5.00This 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
Fun, insightful history...

My favorite Savannah tour

5.00This tour was incredible. Julianna was a fabulous tour guide. She clearly loves Savannah history and is a superb storyteller. She wove together scary stories, historical facts and a strong respect for the people involved, and turned it into one of the most entertaining tours I've ever been on. There was a lot of walking during the 2 hour tour, but Julianna did a great job finding places to sit and rest for those who needed it. Also, each guest was given ear buds and loaned an audio device which we kept in our pockets. This allowed Julianna to speak at a normal volume into a microphone (instead of the usual tour guide shouting routine) and then we could hear her perfectly through our ear buds. This was great for one of my friends with hearing issues - she was able to clearly hear every word. It was also great for people who wanted to wander a bit to take pictures. Overall, this was the best tour I took in Savannah and I highly recommend it.
Our guide was wonderful!...

5.00Our 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.

5.00What a fantastic experience!! We had Ray as our tour guide and I cannot speak highly enough of him. He was engaging, a great story teller and hilarious too! We took another ghost tour with a different company during our trip and I would 100% recommend this company over the other any day. Loved the true facts and history instead of the corny theatrics you get with other tours.
