  We go to Savannah yearly to experience the history and spooky lore. This did not disappoint in that regard. This tour began with a brief history of the Charles Dickens story about the ghosts of Christmas and the meaning of Yule. Very good. The rest was a regular ghost and demons walking tour of Savannah. Garrett did very well with his storytelling and was very graphic with his detailing. We got there early for the free hot chocolate and Biscoff tea biscuits. Wonderful! Would not recommend for kids. I am knocking off a star because of how many people were in attendance. We went the day after Christmas and it was supposed to be a max of 15 people. There were about 50-60 people split between two guides for 25-30 people apiece. I have never seen this many people with one walking tour guide before and we have done plenty. Most were unmasked. Not the safest in terms of social distancing. Some people also brought their young kids along which was annoying. They were loud and whiny. (I tend to be super sensitive to noises compared to others.) Most of them went with the other group thankfully but the ones who accompanied us were climbing on historical items. It was in such poor taste and judgement on the parents’ parts.

  Garret was a fantastic guide. He was the right amount of humorous and scary. He was also very understandable with my 6 year old child with autism. I can’t give him enough praise!

  Their booking information states a maximum of 12 people on tour and when we got there, there were 100 people for the tour. No one was masked (as they claim on their booking site). Not only did they NOT practice social distancing, they tried to group us close together so we could hear the guide. Very disappointing.

  I am not one to write bad reviews, but this was so egregiously horrible I feel I must do this “public service.” The “walking tour” started at least 15 minutes late. After another 45 minutes we had progressed about one block where the “tour guide” - who we could barely hear because she did not speak loudly enough to be heard - continually fumble with her iPhone as she was either trying to find notes, but more likely was doing “Google” searches to find things to say. She was entirely uninformative, unknowing, unenthusiastic, and boring and I would bet had she not been “Googling”’would have nothing to say, other than “…just give me a minute to find this…” as she kept searching her iPhone. When she was speaking we could barely hear her because her unenthusiastic voice did not project. We watched several groups bail before the midpoint of the tour. As for the midpoint…had been cautioned before starting that there would be “no bathroom breaks,” but after an hour the tour was led into a hotel for a 20 minute bathroom break. At this point several people headed to the bar and others simply left. This “Christmas tour” had NOTHING to do with Christmas. In fact, the word “Christmas” was not once uttered by the tour guide. Not only do I wish I had back these two hours of my life I would also like back the $28+ per person for the four people in our group. I have traveled fairly broadly and cannot offer a stronger warning! What a total waste of time and money.

  I had an interesting time on this history and imaginative ghost tour. Garrett did a fantastic job. He was very enthusiastic.. We had a large group and he spoke loudly and asked many times if our group of about 20 could hear. I thought it may be a little more A Christmas Carol festive Did not disappoint with complimentary, apple cider, hot chocolate, coffee and Biscotti cookies.

  This tour is not as advertised. I had nothing to do with Christmas. Our young guide was a good storyteller, if a bit awkward, and he did wear a red Christmas jacket. Other than that nothing at all Christmas. Or maybe that came in the last 30 minutes. Because by that time we called an Uber and given up. It was during a 10 minute description of what kind of suffering you have if you got yellow fever…. So got me in the Christmas spirit…. A ton of time was also spent trying to get people to ask for tarot card readings. Which I never enjoy, but especially if he has to look up the cards in a book and read from it once the card is drawn and then act like an expert hearing wisdom from beyond. Hokey. The photos shown here have nothing to do with the experience. Buyer beware.

  I was excited for this tour since I took a similar tour the first time I visited Savannah but they should give you a bit of a warning. If you are squeamish, this isn’t for you. They provide excellent historical facts but also give very detailed descriptions of the events that took place in the haunted areas. They also take you places were satanic rituals took place which is the main reason I left the tour early. I don’t like to interfere with anything revolving satanic rituals. This is something they would warn you before booking. Also that you might be affected physically by any of the haunted places you may visit. One of the people in my tour party fainted without a reason and an ambulance had to be called. The person was in good health after the incident. They didn’t continue with the tour.

  A really fun tour, one of our favorite parts of our Savannah weekend trip! Our tour guide Jacob was really engaging and a great story teller. It was fun learning about Savannah's haunted history.

  This was everything our family thought it would be! We visited from Ohio and it was a great taste of historical Savannah. The tour was so well thought out and engaging, some scary with some history, was the perfect combination! Everything was well paced out and we got to have hot chocolate and cookies beforehand, for that extra touch....couldn't have been happier with it! Definitely worth the time and money

  Jacob was a very good story teller, kept it lively, he's well educated on Savannah. Had an excellent time.
