“Savannah is a lovely city with so much history. The riverboat was a fun relaxing trip on the Savannah River and the speaker gave us a glimpse of the economics provided by the commerce on the river. We ate our lunch on board and my husband was totally amazed by his delicious cheese steak sandwich, and for him to make a special comment to the chef about that sandwich was surprising to me. That meant it was well above what he expected. :) All in all time and money well spent for a nice memory from our visit to Georgia.”

6.Savannah Ghosts & Gravestones Trolley Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,723 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $39

Savannah’s Ghosts and Gravestones trolley tour mixes narrated tales with after-hours visits to Andrew Low House and River Street sites.

“I was really disappointed with this ghost tour. The “acting” felt more silly than spooky, and it completely took away from the experience. Instead of creating any real atmosphere or suspense, the performances came across as forced and not believable. The warehouse portion of the tour was especially frustrating — it felt pointless, dragged on, and honestly was a waste of time. On top of that, the staff didn’t seem friendly or welcoming, which only made the whole thing less enjoyable. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this tour and definitely wouldn’t do it again.”

“Have been on multiple walking ghost tours here in Savannah. A lot of them usually go over the same stories or facts, but with this tour guide at 9pm on 11/5 (Rebecca? I’m terrible with names!) I learned a lot of new facts about the city and heard new stories! It was my wife’s first time in Savannah, and she absolutely loved the tour. Rebecca? ( please forgive me if this isn’t your name (I know 100% it started with an “R”) did a fantastic job! We were with a rather big group, but she was able to project her voice so that you were able to hear her. Would…”

I was afraid that it was gonna blow up. The driver acknowledged it. We thought that they were going to swap trolleys, but they didn’t. All in all the trip was very informative. I’m glad we did it. We love the pirate very much.”
