I like to ghost hunt but I also like obscure facts about the reality of the people who founded Savannah and what they lived through. If it wasn’t for my tour guide, Neil, I probably wouldn’t have learned what I learned about the inventor of the cotton gin or James Oglethorpe and friends.

Two hour walking tour that almost lasted three! Our guide Kerry was really knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the city especially the part that usually does not make it to the textbooks. Half the group has encouraged him to write a book himself ;) If you are interested about the (side) characters (mostly unknown) history, this is definitely for you.

This tour was the best of all the ghost tours on a Friday night! The entire tour was 1.5 miles and we hit at least 6 historic and “haunted” homes and landmarks. Our guide was very knowledgeable/funny and our group was so much smaller than the others so we could easily weave past the larger groups going past some of the more popular sights (the graveyard). Highly recommend!

The heat was no joke, but the tour was totally worth braving the weather for. Kerry did a fantastic job speaking and showing us all the sites during this tour. I highly recommend if you're in Savannah, GA. Thank you again Kerry!
