Nicole, "the ghost interpretor"
This was one of the best ghost tours we've taken. Nicole, our tour guide, made the trip extremely memorable. She had a great sense of humor and intermingled history with ghost stories and a few funny anecdotes. She kept us in stitches the entire tour. Well worth our money!

Great experience with incredible facts & history. Nicole was an amazing guide!!!

Historical Ghost Tour
This has been my third ghost tour in Savannah and is definitely my favorite. Nicole is an awesome guide who teaches you about the history of Savannah and how it relates to hauntings vs telling ghost stories that are just legends. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone on a first time trip looking to learn more about the city and some fun ghost stories. If I had to give one thing to improve on it would be the directions for the meeting location. There is an address listed but it would be even more helpful to also state that the meeting spot is at the entrance of the colonial cemetery. Just going off of the address alone, Apple Maps doesn’t put it at the correct meeting location.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We feel that knowing the true history makes the legends even better, and it's so fun to show our guests where the lore comes from. Truth is often darker than fiction! As for the difficulty you had with the location, we're very sorry to hear that. We're looking into the information TripAdvisor passes along to guests that book through them; clear directions should be part of the information that guests receive. Thank you for alerting us to the issue.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
History and Haunts Ghost Walking Tour by Local Author: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.
How much does History and Haunts Ghost Walking Tour by Local Author cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Savannah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does History and Haunts Ghost Walking Tour by Local Author take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Savannah is not rushed.
Is History and Haunts Ghost Walking Tour by Local Author worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Savannah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule History and Haunts Ghost Walking Tour by Local Author?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is History and Haunts Ghost Walking Tour by Local Author suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book History and Haunts Ghost Walking Tour by Local Author?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Savannah can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Savannah and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does History and Haunts Ghost Walking Tour by Local Author start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Savannah within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Savannah?
+
Savannah is a walking city with a dense guide market, which means quality spread is wide. Historic district walks, Bonaventure Cemetery trips, trolley hop-on routes and ghost tours with tavern access make up most bookings. Outty Ranking leans on licensed-guide status and group size, since the squares get loud once a tour passes twenty people. On Outty we rank every Savannah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation, Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour, Haunted Savannah Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Savannah?
+
March to May for azaleas, or October to November for cool evenings. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Savannah?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
