Thoroughly Intriguing History Lesson - There are so many options to choose for ghost tours and we are thoroughly happy we chose yours. Ray was our guide and his historic take on all the ghostly events that had occured through all the wars and turmoil made for a very compelling peek into the past. His knowledge and presentation was fresh and brought vibrant images to life of why there are ghosts roaming Savannah.

Interesting Savannah Ghost Tour - I was looking for a walking tour and was in town for a limited time. I found this one and booked same day. There were about 10 people on the tour including one kiddo. Ashley, the tour guide was awesome. She is a fantastic story teller and has a great passion for Savannah and its history. I’d love to take the day tour and the women’s tour in the future.
