The tour was not what we had expected. Two hours was way too long for the tour based on the information that was presented. Several people in the group were also disappointed. I would compare it to a high school theater production. It was probably more "dark" than "ghostly".

Ashley was phenomenal! She shared lots of fun facts about the dark side of Savannah's history. She kept the tour moving along, and had time for questions. Highly recommend!

Robert was our tour guide on 4/24. We did the 7:30 tour ghost walk and he was amazing! We learned so much about the city. I've been on tours before but this was by far the best, and it was because of Robert.

Valerie_R

Great tour, a lot of fun! Ashley was very energetic in her story telling. She wove in some personal stories that made the whole experience very authentic. The bugs are hungry in the evening bring your repellant.

James_W

Ashley did a great job on our walking tour. I highly recommend this!!! She was factual, funny and entertaining!!!

Julianne was an amazing guide. She brought the history of Savannahs dark side to life. Be prepared to do lots of walking which was my only challenge, but even if I was behind, I didn't miss a beat thanks to the audio and ear pieces. Nice

Derek_B

This was more than just a ghost tour, but a great tour of Savannah overall - our guide provided great ghost stories but also great history of the city in general - I would highly recommend this tour to any tourists or newcomers to Savannah

It was a very interesting tour. Our guide was a great story teller. It is fun thing to do in the evening and gives you a lot of spooking history of Savannah. Aaron Bradford was our guide and he was great.

Maria_L

I was pleasantly surprised by the breadth of historical information our guide Leslie was able to include in our tour. I expected to fill my belly, not my brain. I would recommend the tour to fellow foodies and hungry travelers. The last two stops were my favorite as I cannot resist sweet treats, especially ice cream.

Robert K

Our guide, T.C., provided an entertaining and informative tour of the spooky side of Savannah. Genteel and Bard uses headsets which make it easy to hear the guide in a large group and gives you flexibility to explore a bit. The tour is definitely worth the cost! Highly recommended!
