Loved this tour! Our tour guide, Jovy, was super-pumped about sharing the history of Savannah and was really enthusiastic about all things spooky and creepy. He was an excellent story-teller and was so informative when it came to Q&A. I really liked that we had our own earbuds and receivers to clearly hear Jovy. He supplemented the tour with a lot of visuals (pictures, videos) from his iPad. We did this tour on our last night in Savannah and I highly recommend doing the tour during the latter part of your stay after you’ve familiarized yourself with the city. It’ll put things in a totally new light to hear all the scary stories of all the neighborhoods we’ll had been through!

I booked my ticket just a couple of hours prior to the tour, and TC made booking very easy, gave a good overview of the tour and directions on how to get to the starting spot. Ashley was our tour guide, and she was amazing! She is a seasoned story teller, who is clearly passionate about the history behind the ghost stories and also the paranormal activities associated with them. The ear phones and receivers are a nice touch and definitely making hearing a lot easier, especially if you are walking through a crowded street / have a lot of chatty folks on your tour. This is a very real ghost tour rooted in history, and I would highly recommend it!
