Loved that this tour was at night, made it extra spooky. Learned a lot more about the history of Savannah and why it is known for it's ghosts. Our tour guide was very fun and willing to answer all of our questions. Would highly recommend.

Ghost City Tours turns out to be a franchise operation running the McDonald's equivalent of ghost tours around the country. Had I realized that at the outset, I would not have booked with this company on principle. But book I did, unwittingly, and as always in a tour you are at the mercy of how good — or poor — your guide is. We booked the "Dead of the Night" tour on Christmas Eve. We weathered the frigid cold for a hoped for good tour. The group was large, we all had high hopes. However, disappointment is the only response I can give. In retrospect, having learned more about this company as the ghost franchiser muscling in on local tour companies, it's not surprising the quality is far below that of locally run companies that are born and raised in the local community and thoroughly invested in the history and hauntings.
We are connoisseurs of ghost tours, having gone one dozens around the country in every haunted corner of the US and outlying islands. A guide makes or breaks the tour. A thoroughly scripted tour, as this was, and one in which the clients never enter a single haunted building, is a huge disappointed — and a major red flag. Ghost Tours that have community support also get allowed in to haunted buildings . . . if that's not happening, the community isn't all in with the company.
I'm also a psychic and experienced paranormal investigator — and there was literally no paranormal investigating going on with this tour, and the guide clearly was not an investigator or even an expert or quasi-expert in the paranormal. The franchise is hiring schoolteachers (literally) and other warm bodies to lead tours for which they hand them a script and send them on their way. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS. It's a waste of time and money.
Savannah is seething with good ghost stories . . . they won't be found here. We've been in town before and took another ghost tour and it was excellent! That was a few years ago. We feel we got suckered on this franchise ghost tour.
Our guide, as nice a woman as she may be, wasted our time and money continually chatting about herself, her background, her children, her children's experiences, and anything else that popped into her head — virtually anything BUT ghost stores that we paid for. She recited the stories as if we were a group of idiot children, although this was billed as an "adults only tour" with scarier stories and real content. That is blatantly false. The stories were bland, g-rated, and terribly told. Our guide belabored stories with repetition and filler phrases worthy of an informercial — making us want to run screaming from the tour. Horrible. Cut to the chase. Tell the story. Get some passion and animation for your topic going. This was just sad. And we were so cold.
We were promised at the outset of the 90 minute tour which dragged on for 2 hours, that we would stop halfway to warm up inside some establishment where we could get a hot chocolate or a drink. That simply NEVER happened. Even so, with the belabored speech of the guide, she took a half an hour longer than anticipated.
Toward the end of the tour the guide let it out that she had been a middle school teacher. Huzzah! That explained a lot. It explained her tendency to talk down to us as if we were a group of children, rather than adults on an adults only tour. She has ingrained her way of speaking and relating to a children's audience . . . she should not be leading adult tours unless she can unlearn that and be trained. But as I mentioned, the franchise company is hiring warm bodies, not paranormal experts or aficionados.
In summary, don't waste you money and time with Ghost City. Savannah is getting oversaturated with Ghost Tour companies now, sometimes with competing groups standing near each other in the same locations. This is not a nice experience.
I suggest you look for the original ghost tour companies, real paranormal experts, with homegrown Savannah roots. The same holds in any other city or town where you look for a ghost tour. Go local. Go with real paranormal types. Make sure they'll take you inside locales, not stand outside people's homes and businesses talking about them ad nauseam, stretching out simple stories to elongated nightmares of bad storytelling.
The scariest thing on this tour was the guides yellow contact lenses and bad storytelling.
Move along, because truly, there is nothing to see here.

Really the whole thing but the fact we were walking on dead people the whole time really accentuated the whole night.

I have been on countless ghost tours all across the southeast since I was a child and this one was by far one of the best!
Our tour guide was Andrew, he was absolutely INCREDIBLE! He was so knowledgeable, respectful when speaking about those people of the past, and overall a great person who truly loves his job! I left the tour having experienced my own paranormal encounters and would do it all over again if we were staying another night!
10/10 recommend and plan on coming back!
Andrew, all praise to you for helping us have the best time! thank you!! And go noles haha!

I have been on this tour before and it is definitely one of the best! The registration employees are just the absolute also. I am getting ready to take another with my daughter and granddaughter in a few days. I could not find my receipt, so I called and spoke with Tori. She was very helpful, sending me another copy of my receipt..

My husband and I took this tour our first night in Savannah and we're so glad we did. It highlighted definite must see sights that we ended up going back to the next day. Our guide, Nick, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He would tell us the haunted stories of certain sites throughout the city but also the history of Savannah in general. It was a great way to learn about the city and really appreciate the history while we explored the next day. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Great tour. Our guide’s knowledge of the city was excellent and although we had a large group he kept it entertaining and engaging for everybody. We learnt a lot about the city that we would not have known. Thanks for a great night out.

How is the weather this time of year in the evening for this tour?
Looking at the temperature is one thing, but answers from people who’ve been within the past few weeks helps more!

It’s 90 min of walking at a very leisurely pace. I’d say there are close to 10 stops and you walk for about a block in between each stop. We were not worn out at all!

I would think that wouldn’t be a problem. It wasn’t particularly scary but it is a ghost tour, even showed video and pictures; if your teenager doesn’t get freaked out easily and takes it all I stride, it’ll be a good time. Other than that it’s not a long walk around some parts of the beautiful city.

I only did this one. There are others out there. We originally booked a deal earlier in the day for a day trolley tour/ ghost tour at 5 pm, but after our trolley tour the company called to cancel because we were the only 2 booked. Hope you have better luck.
Can we schedule a group of 6 tour for today that is earlier than 11pm?

Why does it state you have to be at least 16 yrs of age to go?

Fort Mill, SC22 contributions
Don’t know for sure but i believe Knottyvines’ answer is accurate. They don’t go into bars as the other noted because then it would state 21+. The tour is strictly outside and can be a bit scary to kids.
