Enjoyable tour with plenty of ghost stories. The guide was very knowledgable and told the stories in a way to allow you to "believe it or not". It was fun to imagine ghosts were there and we could almost see them. Historical and entertaining.

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!

The tour guide was very good with great stories and fully engaged. There was a chance of rain and it rained in the last few minutes and everyone stuck it out. We were very grateful.

This was one of favorite Savannah tours. Dan did a fantastic job of telling historical facts, legends and tales. It not only was entertaining but thought provoking. We thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

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

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.

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!

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.
