Chenelle was amazing - so interesting and wonderful with the kids. They loved hearing the stories and wanted to come back
She is fantastic and we would love to host your family again! Thank you so much for joining her for the Fraidy Cat ghost tour and thank you for the review!
Great experience for the whole family, our youngest was 8 and she had a great time. Not too scary for the young ones and you get a real taste for Savannahs past and the folklore that’s attached to this history. Chanel was our tour guide and she was fantastic. Well worth checking out this tour, you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you so much for joining us for the Fraidy Cat ghost tour! Your guide is sincerely wonderful! And thank you for the review!
This was a fun experience. It was spooky without being scary. I love how our tour guide, Kerry, tied in the city's history. I never realized how much of Savannah was built over the graves of its founders, how old it really was, or it's part in the formation of Georgia. I think my favorite part of the tour was unintentional by our tour guide but the timing couldn't have been better. While he was telling us the story of Alice Riley in Wrights Square, the bells of the church nearby started ringing. It added to the atmosphere around the story and the square. Thank you so much for the adventure. And thank you Kerry for all the information and willingness to answer any question from the kids, no matter the question, especially when my son started asking you about rocket launches on the way back to the starting point. Also, we went back by the playground on our way back to the hotel. Sadly we did not see any ghosts. Maybe next time. 😀
So this review is sensational! And your guide is an amazing gentleman. Once some small guests asked him about dinosaur bones and dinosaur ghosts! And he calmly answered. So rocket launches wasn't too hard. I'm am delighted that you enjoyed your Fraidy Cat ghost tour and your time in Savannah! Thank you so much!
Chanel was an awesome tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, articulate, and very personable. My 12 year old was very interested in the tour and Savannah is a must see after dark! Felt self during the tour and a lot of people out on a weekday. Had a great time! Thank you.

We loved our tour with Chanel. She was so knowledgeable and told the stories with so much animation. My 11 year old son was a little scared but not too bad, which was perfect. Loved walking around and learning about some history.
