Fun Experience on Haunted Tour - We had an awesome guide that filled us in on a lot of the haunted history of Savannah; Very knowledgeable and great humor as well. We saw other tours going on, so make sure you get with the right group because a couple people got mixed up. It's an interesting 1.5 hrs of haunts. Amazing time!

Entertaining ghost tour - A fun and slightly tongue-in-cheek narrative of murders, myths, and graveyards in downtown. Our guide was funny and entertaining.

Great tour and guide! Book this if you want to learn something. - This was an awesome walking tour filled with facts, history and humor. Dan was a great tour guide, not only for his extensive knowledge, but for his friendly and welcoming personality. He sets the tone right from the beginning, this is not a cheesy bullhorn tour with jump scares. This is about Savannah’s history, and how it came to be. It leaves you thinking and doing your own research about the ground that you’re walking on.

Great Company/Tour Group - We were in Savannah for a bit and had the Haunts Candlelit tour scheduled for 8pm. Someone in our personal group hurt their heel! Couldn't walk long periods of time, so we had to message them late. They were so prompt and professional about the situation! We love Savannah and will be back to do this tour for sure. They refunded our money which wasn't an obligation, but sometimes Companies just do the right thing! THANKS!

FRIENDLY Guide doing this for 20 plus years! Well versed in his folklore and peppers it with his own personal experiences. Highl - Set the Tone for our MLK weekend visit! Very informative and covered alot of ground and loved every moment! Wearing walking shoes a must. Open mind about what you hear! Ask questions! Would go again. Guide was sharply dressed and spoke clear and loud for all to hear. Do not forget to TIP Guide.

Great tour! - Our tour guide did an AWESOME job! He professional, extremely informative, and friendly. He got to know everyone before starting the tour and added history that was relevant to some folks home towns. He made history come alive and gave us a real sense of the hardships that Savannah has survived.

No a good experience - Felt uncomfortable as the tour guide asked my group 3 times out names out loud as we were trying to squat on his tour I felt as he was to busy counting heads and asking me my name 3 time then we was into doing to actually tour. We ended up just walking away it was so awkward
