Intriguing (and a bit grisly!) and solid history!

5.00Ollie invited participation while giving a solid history of the area. Her storytelling was captivating and fluid. The headphones (earbud) provided were easy to use and allowed our small group of 9 to wander a bit while still hearing every word (you could adjust the volume as needed). (We saw other, larger groups without headphones chatting while their guides were trying to be heard.) The stories gave a feel for different eras of history, and Ollie’s knowledge of Savannah’s history allowed her to answer our many questions. Highly recommend!
This was a great tour!...

4.00It was lovely, though not as expected. Her stories were good, but it would be hard to not be cheesy.
Julianna is a Gem!

5.00This was our second tour we had with Juliana on our trip in this beautiful city! If you can request her, please do! She has a talent for connecting you to the history where you feel like you are a part of the story. The other tour we had taken with her was a bit more serious but on this tour, I really appreciated her sense of humor to break up a lot of the more dreary topics as scary stories are typically not my thing. I really enjoyed how she made it equal parts of history, lore and horror, weaving in her own personal experiences and thoughts to tie everything in together. The tour was interesting, funny, charming and so spooky at times, I felt myself looking over my shoulder just to make sure a ghost wasn’t following me. She clearly loves what she does and is quite possibly one of the best guides I’ve had the pleasure of touring with. My husband and I hope to see her next time we visit!

5.00My daughter and I were visiting from Boston. An all around great experience! TC was an immersive leader with a clear passion telling ghost stories. You could tell how much he loved his city and appreciated the people who walked here before. Highly recommend!

5.00Ollie was an amazing tour guide, and I’m so glad I chose this tour. She gave us detailed history at every stop and showed pictures of the people she was talking about, which made everything feel much more real and personal. What I loved most was that the stories were true history, not just dramatic thrills like some other tours. I would absolutely recommend this tour over all the others. Even though it’s two hours long, it honestly flew by because I was so wrapped up in listening and learning that I didn’t even notice how much walking we were doing. There were a few issues with the headsets, possibly due to the cold, but Ollie handled it extremely well and kept everything running smoothly. If you’re new to Savannah and want to really understand the local lore, this tour is a must.
Juliana is a wonderful...
