What you'll see and do
Johnson Square
You'll start on Johnson Square, the first square the colony ever laid out, where the app opens your case file and introduces the agent running it. Your first task will be to find an inscription on the marble obelisk and supply a missing word. Once you solve it, you learn why the monument stood over nobody at all for seventy-six years.
10 minutes here
Ellis Square
You'll walk over to Ellis Square and pick the real version of its bronze statue out of four doctored photos. You'll learn that this is the only square Savannah ever sold, what the City Market traded here from 1763, and what stood on the ground for fifty years afterwards.
8 minutes here
First African Baptist Church
You'll continue to Franklin Square and inspect the arched windows of First African Baptist Church to solve a challenge. You'll learn how its members, enslaved and free, built it brick by brick after dark, and why it's the only building on the route still doing the job it was built for.
8 minutes here
Telfair Square
You'll head to Telfair Square and find the year hidden under a sticker on the door of Trinity Church. You'll learn why John Wesley, later the most famous preacher of his century, left Savannah at night in 1737 with a grand jury indictment behind him.
8 minutes here
Wright Square
You'll walk to Wright Square, the colony's old court square, and solve a riddle under the live oaks. You'll learn the story of Alice Riley, the Irish servant girl who became the first woman the colony ever hanged, in 1735, and the one thing she asks of you.
10 minutes here
Chippewa Square
You'll stop at Oglethorpe's statue on Chippewa Square and compare the stone lion at its corner with your photo to spot what has been removed. You'll learn why the general faces the wrong way, and where the famous bench really is.
8 minutes here
Colonial Park Cemetery
You'll reach the gates of Colonial Park Cemetery and decode a question with all its vowels missing, then answer it from the stone arch. You'll learn how many people lie under its six acres, what happened in the summer of 1820, and why the seven-foot murderer every tour sells was never born.
10 minutes here
Owens-thomas House & Slave Quarters
You'll walk to the Owens-Thomas House on Oglethorpe Square, unscramble a message and inspect the cast-iron balcony to answer it. You'll learn about the blue ceiling the enslaved household painted over the carriage house, and why it's still there.
10 minutes here
The Olde Pink House
You'll cross Reynolds Square to the Olde Pink House and find the detail that exists only in your photo of the Planters Tavern sign. You'll learn why the house is pink by accident and what paid for the brick.
9 minutes here
Christ Church Episcopal
You'll finish at Christ Church on Johnson Square, where the colony kept its register of births, marriages and burials. You'll follow a final set of coded directions through the dark streets to a door under a gilded cross and spell out a true name to close the file.

Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.
How much does Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $8 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 Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour 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 Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour?
+
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 Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour 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 Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour?
+
Around 0 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 Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour 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.
What is included in Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour?
+
Included: Full availability: Every day of the year; Flexibility: start, take a break and continue at your own pace; and Access to the self-guided city exploration game in the Questo app. Not included: Live game master or physical guide; Private transportation; and Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Savannah Haunted Squares Self Guided Ghost Tour offered in?
+

+

+
