Dan is the Man! Don’t mention Forest Gump - Awesome experience, for sure took a turn that I would have not guessed with it. Dan did a great job of linking fact with generational local stories to make the tour just a bit creepy yet very entertaining and informational. Would recommend to anyone wanting a creepy history on Savannah without out any of the gimmicks or outlandish ghost stories.

Tyler Is the Man - Tyler was a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. He was willing to answer questions. The tour itself was the perfect number of stops and length of stories.

A little bit underwhelming - Our guide was by far the most memorable part of our tour! Very knowledgeable very animated made it fun for everybody. I’m only giving it three stars as we thought based on the brochure and the information about the tour online that we were actually going to maybe go into houses, graveyards, etc. to possibly experience the supernatural! It is not that at all. It’s a great tour though and a great place to start if you’re interested in that kind of thing.
