Brad, our tour guide, was a wonderful story teller, which made for an awesome ghost tour! He also remembered almost everyone's names, which amazed me. My husband and I had fun and learned a lot of history. The tour is not scary at all, but fun and entertaining: you are given headsets, so it is easier to hear, you will not be going into any buildings, if you would like to, there are other tours that include that. We love walking, so picked this one specifically with the purpose to spend time on our feet and walk around. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Savannah!

Jovi was very knowledgeable and very entertaining. He was without t a door by the BEST host we've ever had on a tour such as this, and we've done several in multiple cities. He also remembered the names of everyone in the group, very impressive.

We did not enjoy the tour and can’t recommend. Our tour guide was trying but there was no real substance.

Response from Host

Aug 2022

Hello, there! We like your passion! Like you, we appreciate the finer things - culture, history, folklore, and sophistication in storytelling - which is reflected in not only our refined storytelling style, but in the individuals who host our guests. Each of our hosts is a seasoned professional - with years of experience both in presentation and history-related professions, (such as supervisor of historical accuracy at Fort Jackson). Your review doesn't describe our tours at all. In addition to being highly-curated and historically rich, Genteel & Bard's storytelling across the board is always classy - never campy. It's pretty much what we're known for. Perhaps you have the wrong company - we've no record of anyone by your name touring with us. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Savannah. Cheers to high expectations!
