One of the top tours I’ve been on traveling around the country and so much fun! Learned so much about Savannah but it was like hanging out with an old friend who knows everyone and can’t get you in all the best places. Plus Hoodoo is a master storyteller and kept us riveted the whole night with his fascinating tales!

Great! It was very cold but so worth the experience. The weather allowed us to spend a little more time at each stop, which gave us more time to learn about the Savannah "spooks"! I would recommend Captain Stoner to anyone looking for a good time! He is an expert at telling tall tales!

Loved this way of getting around Savannah. Justice was amazing as a driver and guide.

Irish did a fantastic job showing us the marvels of Savannah! Had a wonderful time!!

The guide was well informed, bus was very tight, could use a little more room.
