Daria was amazing! Very kind, very knowledgeable and gave excellent descriptions of the stories and information. I would love to take her tour again!
It was a unique and entertaining experience with fact-checked stories of real crimes in Savannah., GA
After several ghost and historical tours that we have taken in Savannah we were surprised with the number of true crime stories that we had not heard of before. Our tour guide, Daria was such a sweet person who was so interesting and informative. It was a small group which allowed for a more intimate experience and more time to delve deeper into each crime. It was a great experience and one of our favorites.
So interesting! Our guide, Daria, was incredible. So friendly and informative. We just loved the tour.
There was so much good information and the stories were very interesting. I wished the tour guide talked while we walked. We walked to each place before information was given. We were confused about why we walked to the first location instead of meeting there. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, but she often paused like she had forgotten what she was saying.
Darriea was an amazing tour guide, she was very detailed and amusing in her story telling. She still has me scared about 2 locations! She made sure that the entire group saw her materials and was able to answer questions. I never knew Savannah so much true crime!
There is one part of the trip they stop at a restaurant/ bar but at this time it’s more a bar so if that’s not your thing I would just stay outside.
Thrilling and immersive! The guide brought every chilling story to life—highly recommend! It was a wonderful time overall.
Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. She did a great job of relaying information in an easy to listen to way.
My wife and I really enjoyed the true crime tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and her personality made the trip very enjoyable. Highly recommend.
