My tour guide, Juliana, was knowledgeable, cordial, and passionate about sharing her love for Savannah and its many ghosts. Her expertise, insight, stories, and interesting personal experiences truly made this a wonderful and unforgettable tour for me. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Juliana!

Ollie invited participation while giving a solid history of the area. Her storytelling was captivating and fluid. The headphones (earbud) provided were easy to use and allowed our small group of 9 to wander a bit while still hearing every word (you could adjust the volume as needed). (We saw other, larger groups without headphones chatting while their guides were trying to be heard.) The stories gave a feel for different eras of history, and Ollie’s knowledge of Savannah’s history allowed her to answer our many questions. Highly recommend!

This was a great tour! Loved all of the old haunted ghost stories from Savannah's past! Great tour leader, liked all of the visual aids

It was lovely, though not as expected. Her stories were good, but it would be hard to not be cheesy.
