Hearse Ghost Tours

Spooky Steve was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and was exactly what you would hope for on a tour like this. My girlfriend and I had an excellent tour

My co-​workers and i came across this while we were at a conference and thought it would be a interesting experience. It was just that, intriguing and funny, but not so much spooky. Savanna’s history provides the optimal place for this type of tour. Local history is told about the city and some it’s more famous landmarks and haunted sites. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. however, the hearse made many circles around some of the different squares as they were telling the stories.
Nice experience if you are looking for a fun trip to take with friends.

Such a unique and fun tour! Spooky Steve was fabulous! Gave us amazing insight on all of the creepy history of Savannah! If you’re looking for a fun scary this is defiantly the tour for you!!! Make sure you ask for spooky Steve… yeasssssss!!!

This was a spontaneous decision as friends came to town with little time to plan ahead. 3 hours in advance I was able to make a reservation for a group of 5, and we were picked up right on time by Spooky Steve. Since it was very cold, he accommodated us by putting down the flaps, thus protecting us from the chilly winds. The tour was excellent and everyone had a great time.

Peg Leg Ron is probably the best driver/​storyteller. The website says «crazy driver» and they did not lie. Would recommend ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Especially if you want to hear historical facts with a twist, this tour is for you.

This company was fabulous, especially as we had to change our reservation at the last minute. Spooky Steve was awesome, and we loved all the ghost stories. We’ll tour with them again when in the area.

3 of the 4 members in our group were a bit skeptical of this tour. But by the end of this historical and paranormal tour, we couldn’t have been happier. Our guide Spooky Steve was phenomenal. I must add though, our party of 4 were the only ones on our tour, so Spooky Steve gave us a more personal and humorous tour. If you have enough people in your group to do so, I suggest hiring the entire car and you will have a far better experience. What a cool way to see and learn about beautiful Savannah!

Dave the «Devil» is a great story teller. He knows a lot about the history of Savannah and the occurrences in this town.
They require a deposit by credit card over the phone to make/​hold the reservation, but at the end of the tour you can either pay with cash or a card. They also text you when the hearse is on its way.

It was fun and different. Peg leg ron was funny informative and a great guide. Arrggg. It was fun to see the people’s faces when they realized we were riding around in herse.

Sup sup!!! Spoopy Steve got me and the missus sorted out with some good ghost stories in his hearse! He told us about haunted things and took us to a bar and we were like WOW!!! Anyway go see Spoopy Steve if you like ghosts. Ok then…

Wasn’t sure how this you would be for a group consisting of a 13 year old boy, 19 year old guy and 30 year old man.!I didn’t personally take this tour but my husband and brothers did and they all really enjoyed themselves!!! They came back with a bunch of great stories and history. They requested Peg Leg Ron because I had read on a fellow Unilocal review he was one of the best and they said he certainly did not disappoint. Price was right and the length of your was great too. Don’t expect to see ghost expect to learn some awesome Savannah history and ghost stories.

We had a great time hearing ghost stories from Spooky Steve he has a quirky personality that works well with stories he tells. If you’re going to do a ghost tour traveling by hearse is the way to do it.

There were six of us and we had a nice time. The tour was just ok in my opinion. Our hearse had bad fumes which made the experience unpleasant. The driver Dave was very nice and did a good job explaining the local squares. We are glad we did it but most likely would not go again. We will try some of the walking tours to see how those are. Savannah is a great town to visit and can’t wait to see what Halloween is like here.

I head great fun — but three stars, why?
The tour was only about an hour or so. I guess I didn’t realize Savannah was so small and easily navigated. Tour guide was nice and friendly.
I would have loved more historical info. These are mostly wives’ tales. Great jumping off point to do more web-​based research for follow-​up.
Also, the vehicle! Felt vaguely like I might fall out of my seat at anytime. Also, they take cards but cash is def preferred. It’s one of those card machines that takes an impression of your card. Spooky!
Still, an experience and a fun one at that!

We decided to do the Hearse Ghost Tour as we were with my 83 year old grandmother and could not do a walking tour. We did really enjoy this tour. It went all around town, telling stories of haunted happenings around Savannah. We got to see a lot more of the town than we would walking and it was fun riding on the hearse. The hearse was pretty rickety and it was hard to hear the driver sometimes, so that would be my only real complaint. Definitely recommended if you want to get some good history while riding in a hearse!

Phyllis was so great! We really loved that they came to pick us up where we were staying. $ 15 for adults, $ 10 for kids. To make a reservation, you have to call and leave a voicemail, and they call you back to confirm. I think we just struck it lucky being able to reserve a same-​day tour, so I’d imagine during more peak seasons, you’d have to call a few days in advance.
The hearse they drive you around in is comfortable enough. Each seat does not have a seatbelt, but does have a cushion. The seats do not swivel for safety reasons. There are covers that roll down for rain or cold, and Phyllis turned the heat up for us a few times to reprieve us from the cold. Our guide stopped to take photos for everyone midway through the tour.
The tour itself was fun. For a first time tour of any kind in Savannah, it was actually pretty informative! This is a driving tour of Savannah – you do not get out at any point. Phyllis did stop at one house to show us day time pictures on her phone to compare against what she was pointing out to us at night. This tour isn’t out to scare you (unless you spook easy, in which case, why are you even bothering with a ghost tour?) and it’s good fun for 90 minutes.

We had been on the Hearse Ghost Tour on a trip a few years back and had a great time. This time was no exception! It is a fun tour and very cool riding in the back of a hearse :)
We were pleasantly surprised that each tour was so different.
Our guide was VooDoo or maybe HooDoo John (I think). He was very entertaining.

The idea of taking a ghost tour in a hearse is actually pretty cool. I mean it is really a pretty natural fit. However, for a city like Savannah, a horse-​drawn buggy is probably a better idea, since the hearse isn’t a native species. Come to think of it, I don’t really know if a carriage is either, but at least it’s been around longer.
When it comes to the tour itself, like many things, it depends entirely on the luck of the draw. If you get a bad tour guide, your experience is not so great. We happened to get a good guide, which helped — but the ride itself was not that good. You’re crammed into the back of a hearse, which as you might imagine isn’t terribly comfortable (surprisingly, the hearse isn’t made for riding comfort), and then taken around the city and told stories.
As I mentioned, our guide was actually pretty good in comparison to others — and I know this because as we were driving around, we heard several — both other hearse guides and other tour guides. One thing Savannah has no shortage of is tour guides, both ghost tours and others of just about any shape and size, for whatever variety you might like. Often we were just across the street from another tour.
Eventually, however, the hearse took off to another entire part of Savannah. Or Georgia, perhaps. It felt like we were driving for a really long time (it was probably only 15 minutes). But when you’re driving without much to see or hear about, it feels like a really long time. it was a perfect opportunity for the driver to deliver you to his friends where gullible tourists could be taken for all they were worth.
Luckily, we weren’t worth much. When we came to the end of that segment, we saw a graveyard, were driven down a country road, at night, with the lights off, and then we went back to downtown. Ultimately, not sure that part of the trip was worth it, but we can say we survived. If only we had a t-​shirt proclaiming so.

Stay away!
We had high hopes for this tour, but even from the start, there were a few drivers in the pickup area and they were so confused about who they were picking up and we ended up starting late.
We took the 10:45pm tour, so maybe everyone (including the driver) was tired, but the tour was pretty boring and pretty much put me to sleep.
We drove to a few locations and heard stories from the driver. You won’t be actually getting out of the hearse, so just be prepared to listen. I think we visited 4 – 5 sites. It was pretty boring though, so no, I would not recommend it.

Underwhelmed.
I have an odd propensity towards anything horror related and halloweenish, and this inclination has brought me on numerous ghost tours in many different cities. During my first ever visit to Savannah, which claims to be «one of the most haunted cities in America,» I knew going on a ghost tour was a must-​do.
My two friends and I grabbed a handful of brochures, all from different companies who run ghost/​haunted Savannah tours and started comparing prices and features. Accounting for the fact that after a day of walking around the city in the Southern heat and humidity, all our inner thighs had just about enough friction for the day and our feet were done, we decided upon the hearse tour due mainly to the fact that our lazy butts could sit down and we did not have to walk. It’s $ 15 a person and that was on the cheaper end of the tours, so we were sold. It was a bit of a hassle to get in touch with someone, but we were able to call that day and make reservations with only a few hours notice.
When we met with our tour, the tree of us were paired up with two other parties, as the hearses holds 8 people. Our guide (who looked as though he hadn’t showered in a week and didn’t own a comb) introduced himself quickly and we set off on our way. The hearse is open (no a/​c) and you listen to your guide through speakers as you drive around the squares in Savannah and he gives his spiel.
Maybe if our guide was more into it and more animated, it could have been okay, but it really wasn’t… it was completely underwhelming and the stories were lame. I took this tour less than 36 hours ago and I am having a hard time recounting any of the stories he told– and I have an elephant grade memory. You literally just roll on past supposedly haunted houses and sites, hardly stopping for long enough to take a photo. We did go out to Bonaventure cemetery which takes you out of the main city which was cool since I would not have seen that area otherwise, but again, we drove there, passes by old shit, and then kept on driving. At no point was I even remotely scared… well except for when a biker gang of hoodlum city kids started chasing and circling our hearse… but as far as the tour– zero scare factor. Out of any haunted tour I’ve ever done, this one was the worst and least scary.
What really pissed me off was when it came time to pay. They take card but prefer cash (obviously), well when one of my friends handed over his credit card, the driver. erhm, I mean, tour guide was noticeably annoyed and grouchy about it. If you get crabby about taking card, then don’t offer to. THEN, as I went to pay, I asked if he had change, as I only had a $ he said no. I scrambled up the right amount and handed it over (giving him a 5 dollar bill as well as singles) and then when my other friend paid, she gave him a twenty, and he never gave her back her change! You can’t just not give change. But he did. he said he didn’t have any even after we pointed out that I just gave him small bills.
Skip or find a different tour.
