Great Tour! - We had Dan as our tour guide, and he was GREAT! He walked us around and told us the history of Savannah as well as haunts. His engagement and excitement is what made the tour fun! He included the group and we did ask questions in which he was happy to answer. I know you could get on a bus and drive around, but walking through the squares and down the streets made this more of a personable tour.

Fabulous tour, not cheesy, beautiful storytelling! - Our tour guide Natalie was AMAZING! Her entire vibe, voice, outfit, style, was perfect. She did a wonderful job of melding cultural history with recorded facts and oral traditions. It was NOT cheesy or silly and it was my favorite part of our Savannah trip. Unrelated to our actual tour, we were almost immediately approached by Brandon and Max (his dog) from Savannah True History Tours. He stopped us, asked about our tour, then rambled about how everything the other tours say is false and he's the only guide doing REAL history. At this point, we left, kicking ourselves for not saying something about his rude, unprofessional, and uncalled for behavior. We have 5 masters degrees between the 3 of us and are fully aware that cultural and oral history is just as vital to understanding a city as recorded facts. Tim O'Brien would say "capital T truth." For someone with as much knowledge as he touted, he sure didn't win any fans in our group. I hope the management of this company can speak with him about this because it unfortunately sent us away with a bitter taste in our mouths despite our fantastic Tour.

Amazing Ghost Tour - This tour was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip to Savannah! The city is already dripping with charm and eerie beauty, but our guide truly brought it to life. From the very first stop, their passion for Savannah’s rich (and chilling) history was obvious. Every story was told with dramatic flair, historical insight, and just the right amount of spooky suspense. What really stood out was how the guide connected the ghost tales with real historical events. It wasn’t just entertainment — it was education with a thrill. We walked away with a deeper appreciation for Savannah’s haunted past, and more than a few goosebumps. If you’re visiting Savannah and love history, ghost stories, or just want a fun and unforgettable evening, this tour is an absolute must. The guide made the experience exceptional — knowledgeable, engaging, and so much fun. I’d go again in a heartbeat
