If you're seeking a blend of history, thrill, and entertainment, look no further than the Old Trolley Ghost Tour in Savannah, Georgia. This tour exceeded all my expectations and left me with chills and laughter long after it ended.
From the moment we boarded the trolley, our guide, a charismatic storyteller with an infectious enthusiasm, set the mood for the evening. Dressed in period attire, they immediately transported us back in time, effortlessly weaving together Savannah's rich history and its spooky lore. Their engaging storytelling style combined historical facts with ghostly anecdotes, making the past feel both tangible and thrilling.
The tour takes you through some of Savannah's most haunted locations, including the infamous Lafayette Square and the hauntingly beautiful Colonial Park Cemetery. As we traveled through the cobblestone streets, the guide shared chilling tales of restless spirits, tragic love stories, and eerie occurrences that have baffled locals for generations. Each story was told with just the right amount of dramatic flair, keeping the group on the edge of their seats.
One of the standout moments was the visit to the old Chandlery, where our guide recounted the haunting legend of a local ghost who supposedly still roams the grounds. The combination of Savannah's atmospheric twilight and the guide's vivid descriptions made the experience truly immersive. You could feel the history in the air, and at times, it was as if the spirits were watching us.
The trolley itself was charming, with plenty of room for our group. The guide ensured everyone could hear and see the sights clearly, encouraging questions and interactions. This personal touch made us feel like a part of the narrative, rather than just passive observers.
Additionally, the pace of the tour was perfect. We had ample time at each stop to absorb the stories and take photographs, all while maintaining an engaging flow. The guide's humor lightened the mood, balancing the eerie tales with comedic anecdotes that had everyone laughing.
As we concluded the tour, I felt a mix of excitement and intrigue. Savannah's haunted history truly came alive, and I left with a newfound appreciation for the city’s rich tapestry of stories. The Old Trolley Ghost Tour is a must-do for both locals and visitors alike.

Read moreFirst of all, there seemed to be some disorganization and half our group had 1 time stamped on our hands and some others had another time. That was OK however, the tour guide, Cecelia was giving us attitute and the manager 3 times had to tell her that it was a stamp mistake and that we were all together. This was before we got on the bus, she seemed ticked off about what was probably an innocent mistake by the persons who were doing the stamping, but my first impression of her was not good because she let us see that she was ticked off about the situation which made us uncomfortable. Not sure if that lead into my next comment or not but I had trouble following her story telling - I did not find her engaging at all. If I were to ever do this tour again I would NOT want to go on her tour bus.
What really sealed the deal for me making this a bad experience was at our first stop, after re-boarding the bus, a person who introduced herself as a manager hopped on the bus and was extremely rude and condescending. She stated, "I understand there is a noise problem with this group" which I found interesting because I had not noticed that anyone was making excessive noise. But the way she came across I felt was unprofessional, and very rude. I don't need to be on a tour that I paid for to be spoken to like a child and scolded for something that didn't even seem to be a problem. In addition, someone near the back of the bus had apparently had a cup that fell over when the driver moved the bus. Again the manager gave the entire bus a stern lecture about having alcohol aboard the tour being agains the rules (which I do understand) but I am sure they must have known who it was and I felt it again extremely disrespectful to be scolded as a group of peons. This was the straw that broke the camel's back and I would not recommend or care to join this...
Read moreWe had an absolutely horrible experience on this tour. We were in town for a conference and had such a wonderful experience on the Hop on Hop Off-Old Town trolley that we decided to book the Ghosts and Graveyards Experience. There were 10 of us who joined the tour together. Unfortunately, this was nothing compared to the day time guides and everyone was extremely disappointed. Our assigned guide, Anna, was horribly demeaning and rude to the customers. She made snarky and rude comments to guests. When one guest said boo she yelled at the guest telling them they would not yell or talk loudly on 'her tour'. Repeatidly she hushed people while she proceeded to rambled about. The audio in the bus was horrible and very muffled, that combined with her voice and tone caused several to get headaches (including a number of people who were not in our party). At one point she asked a question and when nobody knew the answer (because honestly we didn't even hear the question) she said "at least someone knows what I'm talking about, you people know nothing. ". When in the Andrew Low House she told us to shooooo and move along then yelled at people for talking or actually moving along. When someone asked for a bathroom she said you should know better than to ask that on a bus tour and proceeded to tell them to go to the gas station but said the tour would not wait form them. She spoke poorly of other guides and the driver stating she knows how to get them to do what she wants. Then at one point she said she would literally kill people if she could get her hands on a house to buy. Needless to say about 1/2 way through the tour, several of us exited and went about our business elsewhere. It was a colossal waste of time and money and we were all disappointed.
*Update the company has been super apologetic and even...
