Wonderful Ghost Tour! T.C is great. This was my second walking tour in Savannah, and it was so much better than my first Ghost tour. Everyone in my family loved it.

We left after we hadn’t moved in 30 minutes from the spot we met at. All we took away from it was our guide’s background & a story about a disgusting man who was hanged. Tried to contact them on their website for a refund but page not found. It was a major waste of time and $$ for us unfortunately.

Hi, Melanie! Bless your heart! We're sorry to hear that our tour wasn't your cup of tea - or alcoholic beverage, as the case may be. We occasionally get guests on our tour who might have been better suited to a pub crawl (We happily refer guests to Savannah Spirits Co.). After speaking with your guide - it sounds like the majority of your party were three sheets to the wind when you checked in, complete with inappropriate jokes, etc., which made our guide and other guests more than a little uncomfortable - which frankly, isn't cool - and leads us to review your review of our experience with a 1 star. Our tour is definitely geared more to the art of storytelling, a sort of "gather round the campfire" feeling - creepy, and fun, and most enjoyed at least partially sober. Speaking of storytelling - there isn't a "gross man" hung in any of our stories - the story you're referring to is in Wright Square, the "second" location on the tour - and is about the hanging of a woman, Alice Riley. We try to state very clearly on our website (the link to which is in the bio of this very TripAdvisor profile - for your reference) that ours is a highly-curated, dark-history-based, family-friendly, high-end, luxury touring adventure - and that those who wish to imbibe heavily while touring, might have more fun elsewhere. With that said, our tour is clearly not for everyone - and that's just fine. We sincerely hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Savannah. Y'all come back now!

TC is an amazing storyteller who kept the attention of our group of 13 teenage Girl Scouts for the entire two hours. The individual head seats were the perfect accessory for the walking tour and I appreciated TC’s ability to answer all the various questions our girls threw at him. They loved it! The tour was just scary enough for our girls aged 12-15. We had one unexpected fright on the night walking tour that TC handled well. I recommend this tour without hesitation!
