This tour was so much... - This tour was so much fun! I was visiting the Savannah with my two teens to visit SCAD and spent one evening exploring the haunts. Everyone had a good time and we learned a little bit about the area.

Perfect balance, informative and spooky - Perfect blend of history and spooky tales relayed by a gifted, yet not overly-dramatic storyteller! I've heard some of these type tours can be kind of "raw," but this was "family friendly," yet spooky. Saw some great spots and enjoyed talking to our guide as we went. She managed the large group of 26 masterfully!! Great company... Nathalie was fantastic!. (Only negative..... the battery-operated "candlelit" lantern seemed an inconvenient, ineffective prop for the guide to have to carry)

Great Historical Ghost Tour - This was such a good tour. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining and it didn’t feel cheesy. He included a fair amount of thought- provoking historical concepts that even my husband and teenage son enjoyed. The pace was great and just the right amount of walking. Totally worth it!

Dan was absolutely AMAZING - We have done quite a few ghost tours but nothing compared to the tour we did with Dan. He was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and charismatic. Would DEFINITELY do another tour with him! Check out the upper right pane in the window!

Charmed - So Natalie was our guide. She was awesome and made the tour not only informative but fun. She was charming without being cheesy, which is what you want. The stories surrounding the places on the tour were so fun to learn. It was a lot of fun. Only bummer was I hear everyone talking about capturing something creepy on camera, but I had no such luck, but that has nothing to do with Natalie.

Fabulous!! - We did this for a bachelorette trip and it was fantastic!! You definitely walk quite a bit so be prepared with good walking shoes. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and SO friendly. I feel like we not only learned a lot about some very spooky haunts, but a lot about the history of Savannah too. Would 100% do this again!!

Wonderfully Spooky! - My wife and I visited Savannah on our recent mini-moon (honeymoon). We fortunately were able to book Dan’s tour on our last night in Savannah, but wish we could have taken the tour on night one of our stay. Dan made us feel both personally welcome and completely immersed in the spookier side of one the GA’s most historic cities, all while balancing a fully sold out tour. He knows the city, the buildings, the historic figures, the haunts. We highly recommend spending an evening with Dan.
