My husband, adult son and I thoroughly enjoyed our nighttime tour with Julianna. She was animated, engaging and a wonderful story teller.
Julianna was amazing! I would definitely try and see if you can go on her tour. She was a great factual story teller and made the experience very enjoyable.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a mix of personal and historical stories. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Savannah. Lots of walking so wear comfy shoes!
Wonderful experience- guide Ray was top notch! Full of information, in depth stories and very funny!
Juliana was an incredible tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about our tour. She went above and beyond to make sure that everyone had an amazing tour. Because of her alone I would highly recommend the tour. My partner and I are still talking about the tour almost a week later. I attached a few photos below that may or may not be something. I took these photos on the tour but only saw what could be a few possible ghosts that were there in one shot but not in the next. Also, the clothing while grainy seems to look out of place with modern times. I only saw these after reviewing all of our photos later on after the tour.
Julietta was amazing!!! Her knowledge of Savannah's history was outstanding. She was extremely charismatic and is a true storyteller. So glad we went with a local tour company that was genuine and not commercialized. 10 stars.
Our tour guide, Ray, was both engaging and well-informed. We enjoyed the ghost stories and the historical insights about Savannah. Absolutely worth the time and the cost.
The tour guide was absolutely excellent - incredibly knowledgable and friendly. Loved that the tour included the headsets so you didn't feel as though you missed anything if you ended up at the back of the group. Very informative and worth the cost. A slightly larger group than I would have liked but it wasn't egregious - a good size.
If you’re looking for a ghost tour in Savannah, book with Genteel & Bard! My guide is an incredible storyteller who had the perfect voice for bringing Savannah’s haunted history to life. He definitely had me completely captivated from start to finish. The stories were fascinating, and the pacing was perfect. At one point he told me not to take my earbuds out before playing a particularly creepy sound… and I’m glad I listened because it definitely added to the experience! I had goosebumps multiple times throughout the tour, learned so much about Savannah’s history, and was thoroughly entertained. The true test? When I got back to my hotel, I checked under the bed, in the closet, and behind everything… even though I’d already done that before leaving! 😂 I also had a hard time falling asleep because the stories were still running through my head. That tells me this wasn’t just a history lesson—it was an experience. Highly recommend if you want to be entertained, creeped out, and leave with a whole new appreciation for Savannah’s haunted past!
Fun historical facts woven in with hauntings. CT was a good story teller! We did have a young 5 year old boy on our tour who got scared so would not recommend for young children.
