“Far More than a Tour”

Reviewed February 21, 2012 NEW

people found this review helpful

If you are seriously interested in paranormal activities and learning the dark side of history then this tour is for you. I have been on many similar tours but they were all very silly with costumed characters or hearse rides. This to me seemed as if they were mocking the dead. Straightforward and educational, you will learn, see and experience... More

“BEST EVER!!!!”

person found this review helpful

This is the best ghost tour ever. I have been on several tours in Savannah and Charleston and this was by far the best tour I have ever taken. Tobias (our tour guide) was excellent and shared the history of the city and the sites we visited. We took photos and we are still finding images within the pics. We... More

Thank you so much for the review. The night you took the tour was an incredibly active night! I don't always take that route bc its longer but when the crowd seems like they would enjoy it, I do it and it seems to always pay off. EVP's are especially active in that area. I'm glad to hear you would... More

“Excellent tour”

My wife and I recently took the Zombie tour. We both had a wonderful time and I would recommend this tour to anyone. Our tour guide (Tobias) was VERY knowledgeable on both the paranormal part of the tour and the history of Savannah as well. The price per person was $35.00, but I would honestly pay $50.00 for it. Awesome... More

Thank you so much for the review. You and your wife were a lot off fun. It's always great when people show up and actually want to do a ghost tour. :) I don't think Blue Orb will be charging $50 anytime soon but thanks for the heads up! We are one of the more expensive tours in Savannah, but... More

My husband and I have done two zombie tours with Tobias, I am hooked and will only tour with Blue Orb. You feel how compassionate he is by the way he tells his stories. They encourage you to walk around and investigate without being rushed. More

It was great seeing you again and thank you so much for the review. I'm so glad you have been enjoying our radio show and podcast as well. Although a tour is not an investigation I do try and make sure everyone has time to at least have the opportunity to capture some of the amazing paranormal anomaly that has... More

“Rambling ghost stories with no tour”

Reviewed February 15, 2012

A good tour depends on the guide. Ours rambled away at the mouth, and we didn't walk to see much. She seemed to be wrapped up in her own monologue with no notice of her audience. It was supposed to be a 1 1/2 hour tour, but little movement after an hour and 15 minutes left us with aching backs... More

Typically a guide will call me if we ever have guests that are an issue. Your tour guide remembers you very well and she had already explained that she had a "troublesome group" and after reading this review the next day she simply said "Yep, that's them." Apparently you showed up late ( as verified to me by both the... More

We had already walked about 10 hours that day, but we didn't want to miss this tour. We went on the the Zombie Tour with Tobias, and had a blast. We loved hearing the history of the city along with the paranormal stories. I can honestly say, of all the haunted places we've been to 432 Abercorn is and Calhoun... More

Thank you for continuing your walk with us! Savannah has this amazing way of giving people the strength to walk all day, never tiring of all the beauty that is here. I still find myself playing tourist on my days off. I agree with your comment about the Abercorn house and Calhoun square. It's always amazed me that we are... More

“Incredible historical ghost tour”

Reviewed January 30, 2012

people found this review helpful

We took the later, long adults-only tour and it was incredible! Tobias is entertaining, enjoyable to talk with, and makes you feel very comfortable. This is NOT what I would call a scary ghost tour. It's much more historical in nature and Tobias tells the history of the houses and buildings, which adds a lot to the stories. What I... More

We have spent many moons compiling documentation to back up the haunted stories we tell. Obviously there are no news articles to validate a location is actually haunted we like to at least show that the events that could lead to it actually happened. I do wish you had gotten a little more creeped out though. We admittedly don't go... More

This was the best ghost tour I have ever been on! I live in Charleston and take ghost tours in our city quite often. I must say that out of all the tours I have been on, Tobias was the best guide I have ever had. He was informative, well spoken and extremely knowledgable. I can't wait to go back... More

Most of our guests come to us via word of mouth and I am so glad for that. Review sites are so subject to fake reviews, competitor attacks and that ONE person you rubbed the wrong way looking to grind an ax but nothing beats someone you know saying "This is the one...". I've been promising to update Blue Orb... More

The Good: Tour Guide Tobias was engaging and entertaining. He is a great story teller and is doing a fine job building this business. I can appreciate someone dedicated and hard working.

Dear "FistFullaHollah"!, Thank you for the kudos on the storytelling and my hard work. I'm glad when a guest is able to see how much effort we put into our craft. In regard to your bad and ugly segment most of it is a little dramatic and so subjective I cant address it. I would like to say though in... More
