Savannah By Foot

This tour was so much fun!!! Our tour guide was amazing, I learned so much about this city, it was like a personal monologue being performed :)

I spontaneously booked the ghost walk pub tour when my husband & I arrived in Savannah. It was on a flyer at our hotel & I’m so glad I saw it because we had the best time!
We met at the Six Pence Pub about a ½ hour before the tour & were handed our cups. The bartenders were super friendly & soon Dawn, our tour guide for the evening was coming around and introducing herself. Dawn was phenomenal! She was witty & fun. Her stories were entertaining & easy to listen to.
The tour took us to about 4 different pubs & we made a few stops in between to listen to some ghost stories. Our group was lively & all the pubs were very nice to us. The Pirate House was one of my favorite stops!
I would definitely take this tour again. It was one of our favorite things we did on our honeymoon road trip!

I have been on three creepy pub tours and the guide makes the trip. We just had the owner of the tour give us our guidance and it was horrible. Not one historical fact was told during the tour. He told more stories about his drunken escapades which I have more to tell. Very disappointed since I brought family in to see this tour. I would recommend the full moon tours over this.

Pretty fun! A little cheesy but I had a good laugh. Our guide was friendly and funny. I really enjoyed going to Six Pence. They have a lot of good choices of beer!
I recommend this if you need something fun to do with friends! It’s entertaining

Was really looking forward to this & was a bit disappointed. If you are looking for most of the tour to really be centered around the drinking vs ghosts then this is for you. Pretty much hitting a bar then a story after each. Which the stories were entirely too long & drawn out. Until I was a little tipsy I found myself really bored. The guide, however was very very nice but could cut back on length of stories & jokes so it would feel more serious.

Thank you Britney you were amazing!!! We enjoyed ourselves all the way from Chicago. Went on about 4 pub tours and the cemetery. We had a great time. Thanks!

We went on the Creepy Crawl Pub Tour. I can’t remember our tour guide’s name, but she was super friendly and entertaining. I was really creeped out by most of the stories, but I’m also a wimp. My boyfriend wasn’t really creeped out or scared, but he was entertained. I’d recommend this tour, because you can do any number of ghost tours but it’s just that much more fun with a beer in your hand and hearing stories about the bars you were just in.

We did the «Creepy Crawl» and it was probably the best thing we did on our trip! Our group was about 24 people and by the end of the tour everyone was exchanging numbers, so much fun! Our guide Linda was awesome and was drinking at every bar with us. We went to about 6 bars and although we didn’t stay long she would tell us the story of each bar and why it was considered «haunted». I definitely don’t recommend it for kids or grandparents, this is a pub crawl after all and it goes pretty late and the group gets pretty rowdy. Definitely worth the money and better than any lame ghost tour stuck in a bus!

Ok… well, I ended up deciding to give this tour company a 4. Here’s why:
I took the Creepy Crawl Pub Tour the first time in March 2011. It was a blast. I’d rate it a 6 on a scale of 1 — 5! Our tour guide, Andre, was the reason. You can get a million ghost tours in Savannah (I’ve done about 999,998 of them!), but the difference was Andre. His story-​telling ability was top-​notch and he refrained from the usual tricks of trying to pretend he’s a spirit, pointing out things just for shock value, etc… A true professional and had our group hanging on every word. We had a small group — about 6 people, as that was the Sunday after St. Patrick’s day and most people had left town. So, it was the perfect pub crawl ghost tour… just wish I’d taken it a little easier on the booze… I’m having trouble with remembering the last half hour or so! But, it remains in my memory as the best ghost tour I’ve ever had and don’t truly expect it to ever be topped.
A short summary: you meet at the Six Pence Pub (which has excellent food — better than I expected, and a decent beer list). Then, you walk around to various locations hearing ghost stories and stopping by other bars to refill your cup! Do note that the price of the beer/​drinks at all of the bars is not included in the tour price (and it shouldn’t be, because not everybody want to drink… I have no idea why, but that’s just the way it is)! ;-) Each tour guide can set their own directions, stories, places to stop, etc… So, could be a completely different tour each time you go.
Then, in June of last year, I returned. I e-​mailed the tour company to see if Andre would be available for a repeat tour, but he was not working the only night that I could go. Sad. So, I skipped it.
April of this year rolled around and I found myself in Savannah again, looking to repeat my experience from last year. However, I didn’t call ahead to see if Andre would be available, we just went on the only evening we could fit it in. First off, this group was larger, about 20 people. And, no, the guide wasn’t Andre, and I can’t remember her name. However, I wasn’t too impressed. She had a difficult time keeping the group organized (granted, there was a group of about 5 girls that were constantly being late when we were supposed to be leaving each bar, asking really inane questions (they types that don’t really even pertain to the tour), and just generally being rowdy). So, not the tour guide’s fault completely, but she should reign in that type of behavior as it’s disruptive to the rest of the tour group. Apart from that, her story telling wasn’t compelling. She just didn’t convince me that she believed anything she was saying. I think part of the fun is suspending disbelief and being so enamored with the stories that you believe them without question (kind of like a Stephen King book… his stories are WAY out there, but the writing is so good, you don’t doubt it)!
The tour was scheduled for two hours. Just over the two hour mark (at about 2 hours, 10 minutes) and only being at the 3^rd bar, we decided to just duck out of the tour. It was going downhill fast (matter of fact, it had already crashed and burned and I just think the guide wanted us to booze it up at that point… we had been spending 10 minutes or so in each bar — enough time for people to use the restroom and get a refill, but we had been in that last one for around 20 minutes when we decided to leave). I’d rate this tour guide a 1.
But, because of the excellent experience I had the first time, I went with an overall score of 4. Would have used a 5, but just can’t do it because the last one was a train wreck.
Bottom line: would I do this tour again? Yes. But, I’d call ahead and see who the guide was going to be that evening. Should YOU do this tour? Yes, maybe you’ll get lucky and get a great guide and be hooked like I was the first time.

One of my favorite Tours, though I did have… not a bad experience at the Moon River building, but an unsettling one. Before taking this youtube Ghost Adventures Moon river and watch it. It will make your visit to the brewery better in my opinion if you see what that crew experienced.

Savannah is always rated up there as one of the most haunted places in the US along with places like St. Augustine. I am fascinated with the whole spirits thing, and I also like the other kind of spirits. There is no better place to marry the two than in Savannah, Georgia. There has been some serious death here over the centuries (wars, pirates, and diseases to name just a few). Savannah also allows and encourages a «plastic cup» rule. Get a drink at your favorite establishment and you can take it with you in a 16 ounce or smaller plastic cup. There are also numerous bars and pubs in Savannah that once were other things, like homes or Civil War hospitals so there is a lot of haunted history.
You’ll meet the group at a pre-​determined location, and a tour guide (Greg for us), will take you to about half a dozen pubs, restaurants, and inns. There are definitely some interesting stories, and you will learn some history. What makes this tour great though (besides being able to walk around and get drunk), is that you get to go inside the places. Most ghost tours take you to places without going in them (super weak).
I can’t say I saw any paranormal activity, but I did enjoy a nice late evening stroll through the streets of Savannah while learning some history. It’s also a good way to see if these are places you might like to visit on your own. It included a little bit of everything from hole in the wall tiny drinks only bar to taverns and restaurants. You probably won’t see any ghosts, but what else are you going to do in Savannah at 10pm?

Haunted Pub Crawl was a blast!
It was an all around awesome time. Greg, our tour guide was hilarious, crass and very knowledgeable, with plenty of great stories. Being from Boston (don’t worry, he’s been in Savannah for a while and has def got the street cred) it was hilarious to hear him say «ya’ll» every other sentence in what’s left of his northern accent.
Also, we walked by another ghost tour while we were passing the cemetery and their tour guide was dressed in a top hat and talking like kermit the frog or something. This is the point where we instantly knew we made the right choice. I’m not really in to muppets.
Last thing. Seriously girls, if you are planning a bachelorette party, please don’t go on this tour. I think about every one of us were ready to toss them by the last bar. Go be obnoxious and talk about condoms somewhere else, please and thanks.

When I heard «Haunted Pub Crawl» I processed it as «Mandatory Wedding Weekend Death March.» Not that I don’t love a good pub crawl, but, with a citywide wedding-​party photo shoot in the AM I knew I wasn’t going to be drinking very much and I’d have to be three-​sheets-​to-​the-​wind wasted before I’d believe there were «orbs», spirits or any other supernatural crap present.
Now, don’t get me wrong, we for sure got our $ 15-​worth of «orb» stories; but, we also got a fairly historically informative tour of the downtown area.
Our tour guide, Elizabeth, was friendly and funny. A Savannah resident of 15 years, she made the night fun and informative without laying the ghost stories on too thick. The pubs we visited – Six Pence Pub, 17Hundred90, Moon River Brewing Company – were all different and interesting in their own right.
I initially had my doubts about the mixed crowd of 21 to 65-​year-​olds, but it actually worked well as a family activity. Tours are limited to groups of 15ish, so we split into two groups – which was a good idea, considering the size of a couple of the bars. All-​in-​all an enjoyable way to spend a night in Savannah.
