I’ve taken several ghost tours on previous visits to Savannah. Some were excellent; others were cheesy and a waste of money. When planning a recent trip for 13 lifelong friends, I knew a ghost tour was a must—but I also knew I had to find the best one. Thanks to a recommendation from our Airbnb host, I discovered Genteel & Bard. Before booking, I had a wonderful conversation with the owner, TC. He assured me that his tours focus on history and documented facts rather than cheap scares, which was exactly what I was looking for. One member of our group is a self-proclaimed "scaredy-cat" and was hesitant to go, so TC's explanation of the tour's approach completely put my mind at ease. After our conversation, I didn't hesitate to book a private tour. He even told me he would personally be our guide. I was a little disappointed to learn that TC's plans had changed and someone else would be leading our tour. That disappointment disappeared the moment we met Jovy. Jovy was an exceptional guide. Before we even left The Olde Pink House—where TC had graciously arranged for our tour to begin following our group dinner—Jovy already knew everyone's names. As a food tour guide in Nashville myself, I know firsthand what an impressive feat that is with a group of 13. Throughout the evening, Jovy spoke clearly, kept everyone engaged, and frequently checked on the group, again addressing each of us by name. His storytelling was engaging, informative, and perfectly paced, blending Savannah's fascinating history with just the right amount of mystery and darker tales. Everyone enjoyed the tour—and that's saying something when you're traveling with 13 women who all have different interests. Several people said it was their favorite activity of the entire trip. One friend even admitted she was surprised it topped her list because she normally doesn't enjoy ghost tours. We all agreed that the stories were fascinating, but it was Jovy who made the experience truly memorable. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Genteel & Bard—and especially Jovy—to anyone visiting Savannah who wants to learn the city's rich history while hearing a few intriguing and darker stories along the way. This wasn't just a ghost tour; it was one of the highlights of our trip.
Our tour guide David was exceptional as gave a very detailed overview/ history of Savannah and made it interesting by asking us questions… not to test you knowledge or put you on the spot; but so when you get the answer it sticks in your brain. Very personable and made you feel comfortable from the get go. A must tour with Genteel and Bard when visiting Savannah!
Guide David was 5 stars. A great historian and a nice guy.
Thank you for the 5 stars for David. He is a true gentleman who’s passionate about Savannah’s history. He brings in depth knowledge to Genteel and Bard’s History Walking Tour. -T.C.
Personal attention, small group, detailed historical information, convenient, and well paced. Local guides.
Super happy with our tour. Our guide was born and raised in Savannah, very warm and personable, easy to understand, and gave us a great history of the US and Savannah. Headsets were available but I could hear easily due to our small group.
David was great at merging the history and present of Savannah! Absolutely loved learning things I knew nothing about.
David couldn’t be more prepared. He has a very polite and funny disposition. Very informative and very easy to be with. He made the tour very worth while
Our guide Dave was wonderful. As a life long Savannah resident he brought the history of the town to life with his deep knowledge of the past and personal and family experience. This was a great tour and I highly recommend it.
Great walking tour that was well paced and interesting. Our guide provided information and context to some of the places we knew slightly before but are interested in knowing more now.
Nice walking tour with an 8th generation resident. Bring water and good sneakers. Our tour guide provided a lot of personal perspective
