    Great Haunted Walking Tour

    Dan was an amazing tour guide and did a really great job bringing the stories to life! The tour was the perfect amount of time.

    Too costly for a walk!

    Boring. Too costly for a walk around the area telling ghost stories. So many stories were rumors. Yes there were deaths. It would have been interesting to actually enter some of these places. The host was an excellent speaker and made sure all heard the presentation.

    Not fun!

    First of all booking direct is $30 a ticket so booking with TripAdvisor costs nine dollars more per ticket! Unfortunately, we took a trolley tour the day before which told us all of the exact same tales that we heard on this 90 minute walking and standing tour. We only sat one time during the 90 minutes. We were guided over dark rough and uneven sidewalks…Very disappointing! Would not recommend. The trolley tour was much better.

    Our guide Kelby did a fantastic job! She was entertaining and informative! She told great spooky stories along with history of Savannah. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

    Savannah History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.

    How much does Savannah History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 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 History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking 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 History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 3,546 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Savannah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Savannah History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking 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 History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking 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 History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 1,241 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 History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking 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 History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Ghost stories, legends, superstitions, and history; and Professional Guide. Not included: GRATUITIES ARE APPRECIATED!. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Savannah History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking Tour?

    +
