Hauntings Tour

So, with about a dozen or so ghost tours operating in Savannah how do you know which one is the «best»?
I don’t really know, but this tour was recommended by our concierge so we gave it a shot and I’m glad we did.
Our guide, Robert, was a veritable encyclopedia of Savannah ghost stories and he’s even written a book on the subject. The fact that he’s been giving tours for 18 years was a bonus, too!
The tour was filled with numerous anecdotes and «behind-​the-​scenes» insights that comes from a guide with so much experience.
I would highly recommend this ghost tour to anyone interested in the spirits haunting Savannah.

We scheduled this at the last minute. It was wonderful. Brinna our tour guide was awesome. We had 8 in our tour and it was just the right size.

This tour was cheap, interesting, and they even made a bar stop. Our guide was great with the stories and how to spot ‘spirits’ on you camera. Even if you dont believe in the spooky stuff, you had interesting stories to share by the end of the night. You get plenty of time to rest in between stops. It was a walking tour, so please wear your comfy shoes.

I liked the passion of the tour guide. She was so nice and had a lot of great tips! Definitely the tour for ghost hunters and their ghost hunting pet companions.

I was in Savannah for a conference for work and I found The Haunting’s tour online and then found a Groupon for half off and decided to give it a go. The group meets at 9 in Wright Square by Tomo-​Chi– Chi’s memorial site in Wright Square and ends there as well.
I toured with Steve who is a 3^rd-​4^th generation Savannian and who’s Great Grandfather fought for the the Confederates. Be prepared to walk and take pictures along the way. You stop at different places (Juliette Gordon Low House, the Anna Powers home, Colonial Cemetery, Conrad Aiken’s home, GW’s command center, and Savannah’s Burying grounds). We were on the tour for 2 – 2.5 hours, but it was well worth it. Make sure you’re phone is charged and you have your walking shoes on.
Good amount of history mixed in with ghost sitings, I definitely got an aura in my cemetery pictures. Go on it if you have time! Side note, leave the dogs at home, even if it’s nice out

We were visiting Savannah for the week and basically were walk ups for the 10am tour of the squares/​wards. We were the only two and met a young woman who was the daughter of the family who runs the tour, and she was happy to take us around on basically our own personal tour of the area. She was great, very knowledgeable, and funny. The tour took us in and around the main four squares in downtown, and she gave us plenty of extra ideas for our visit.

Their add said
«Guides in full pirate costume take groups on a leisurely stroll down River Street, telling stories about local pirates, their treasure, and their adventures on local waters while pointing out 19^th-​century architecture.»
«Local author Robert Edgerly is a virtual storybook as he spins old tales of Savannah on his walking tours.»
It was led by a woman not in costume. OK tour bad advertising.

TOUR: The Hauntings tour started at 2100 and lasted about 1.5 hours. Good parts to the tour when a story was described behind the ghost or haunting. What I didn’t like was descriptions of random sightings without a story so it wasn’t as realistic. Some stops we made were at the Davenport House, cemetery, Juliet Gordon Lowe birth place. We never actually went inside a building which would have been cool to do.
TOUR GUIDE: She was okay. She was an older lady and her sense of humor was odd. A car almost ran her over as she led us across the road… no fault of hers but really a crazy driver. She made a lot of pauses in the middle of the tour in order to look at photos taken by others in the tour for ghost detection which was annoying. I think she should make a comment to save those pics to show her at the end of the tour instead of making everyone else wait while she looked at the photos.
CONCLUSION: Overall, a good tour but I think there might be better ones out there but have no baseline reference.
