We pride ourselves on fact-based history. That's why we don't give ghost tours. Savannah has so much dark history that we don't need to make up any! This tour begins with a brutal duel that took place in a bar that still exists to this day. We'll move on to discuss Savannah's first murder. You'll see the site of the colony's first cemetery and the grave of a Native who was crucial to Georgia's success. We'll visit the location where a more recent serial killer met a victim, then discuss Colonial Park Cemetery's past and present. Savannah saw a great deal of tragedy during the Revolution, and you'll learn about the toll it took. We'll tie things up at the site of a killing that ironically put Savannah on the pop culture map and helped lead to its booming tourist industry today. Please note that though some local ghost tours have recently rebranded themselves as "dark history" tours, we are the original! This is Savannah's only fact-based evening tour.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for participants on this tour?

A: No specific age limit! It's mostly suitable for adults due to some heavy themes and discussions, but teens can definitely join if they're interested in history. Just make sure whoever you're bringing is comfortable with the subject matter. It can get a bit graphic, given the nature of Savannah's dark history.

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it outdoors?

A: Yeah, it's mostly outdoors! I recommend wearing comfortable shoes since you'll be walking a good bit. The evenings can get a bit chilly, so maybe bring a light jacket, especially in the fall. Just check the weather beforehand to dress appropriately!

Q: Can you reschedule if plans change?

A: Yes! They understand life happens. You can usually reschedule up to 48 hours before your tour without a problem. Just contact them directly to make arrangements. They’re pretty accommodating!
