Savannah night, guided with a drink and whispers. I like the small-group vibe (max 10) and the way the guide lines up local bar stops you would not find on your own. The one catch: this is more haunted history than constant jump-scare ghost storytelling.

You meet at Madison Square (332 Bull St, Savannah) for a 7:30 pm start, and it’s about a 2-hour outing that ends back where you began. Alcohol is extra, but you will need a picture ID if you plan to buy drinks.

With an overall rating of 4.8 and 94% recommending it, this crawl has a clear appeal: humor, pacing, and stories that connect Savannah’s past to its haunting reputation. Guides you may meet include Gregg, Neil, and Teresa, and they seem to shape the night around your group size and energy.

Key Things You’ll Notice

• Max 10 people keeps the tour talk-friendly and easy to follow.
• One ticket covers the guide; drinks are for you to purchase.
• Haunted history focus ties supernatural claims to real Savannah sites and stories.
• Bar stops off the usual route show you where locals actually go.
• Guide-led momentum: Gregg and others are praised for staying engaging even in cold or rain.
• Some nights hit multiple bars (one account mentions four different bars).

Is $35 a Good Deal for This Pub Crawl?

For $35 per person, you are really paying for three things: a guided night walk, story time, and a planned route that includes a chance to sip at local bars along the way. Drinks are not included, so your final cost depends on how much you choose to buy. That setup is often good value in Savannah because it gives you structure without locking you into a set drink package you might not want.

This tour also keeps the group small (up to 10 people). In practice, that matters more than you’d think. When the night feels crowded, tours turn into a slow-moving parade. Here, the format supports back-and-forth questions, and the guide can keep the pace comfortable.

You’ll use a mobile ticket, and confirmation comes at booking time. Also, plan around the alcohol rule: a picture ID is required to purchase. If you want a simple budget, think of the $35 as the storytelling + route cost, and set aside extra for bar pricing.

Finally, it’s a popular slot—on average it’s booked about 18 days ahead—so if you have a tight schedule, booking earlier is smart.

Getting to Madison Square: the 7:30 pm Walk Plan

The start point is Madison Square at 332 Bull St, Savannah, GA 31401. The tour begins at 7:30 pm and runs about 2 hours, wrapping up back at the same meeting point.

Because it’s a night walk, timing and meeting accuracy really count. Show up a few minutes early so you’re not searching the block at 7:30 when everyone else is already heading out. If you’re arriving late from dinner or another plan, give yourself buffer time—Savannah historic district streets are easy to navigate, but at night you don’t want to be sprinting.

The tour is offered in English, and “Most travelers can participate” is noted—so this is generally positioned as a doable walking outing for a wide range of people. That said, it’s still a pub crawl format, so wear shoes that handle uneven sidewalks and keep a light layer handy for evening temperatures.

One more practical detail: the route is built around Savannah’s haunted-history storytelling. That means you’ll get the most out of it if you’re ready to walk, stop, listen, and move on rather than treating it like a sit-down experience.

Gregg, Neil, and Teresa: What the Guides Actually Do Right

The biggest strength of this crawl is the guide energy. Gregg is repeatedly praised for keeping groups engaged, with deep Savannah storytelling and a sense of humor that keeps the tone light even when weather turns ugly. People also mention that the pace stays steady—enough time at each stop to hear the story and look around, without dragging.

You may hear different guides depending on your date. Names that come up include Gregg, Neil, and Teresa, and the common theme is the same: they’re focused on keeping the night fun while still explaining why Savannah’s haunted reputation exists.

Here’s what you should expect from that style:

• You’ll get the “supernatural twist” as part of Savannah’s history, not random spooky facts thrown on top.
• Guides seem to adjust to group size. When the group is small, the tour can feel more personal and flexible.
• Some guides encourage photo-taking as you move through the route—one guest specifically noted an odd photographic result later, which tells me the guide pays attention to how people experience the atmosphere.

One thing to watch: because the focus is haunted history, not pure scares, the stories may land more like clever local legends and true hauntings than like a nonstop dramatic ghost monologue.

Bar Stops and Alcohol Rules: How to Budget Without Stress

This is a pub crawl, but it’s not a drinks-included party. The alcohol you choose is available to purchase, and your guide helps set the route and atmosphere so you’re not wandering to find open places on your own.

You must bring a picture ID if you plan to buy alcohol. That’s a key logistics point for two reasons:

1. It prevents delays at the bars.
2. It helps you avoid the awkward situation of being stuck without a drink you thought you could get.

Where the bar planning can get tricky is timing and seasonal demand. One account explained that bar availability can be harder during busy periods like October, since lots of events happen in Savannah at once. In other words, the route is planned, but if a bar is unexpectedly crowded or closed, the guide may have to work around it.

On the upside, multiple accounts mention the bar choices feel intentional—places you wouldn’t automatically stumble upon. One write-up mentions four different bars, while others describe “several local bars.” The point is: this isn’t just one quick stop and done. You should expect an evening of moving between a handful of good spots.

Budget tip: decide ahead of time what kind of night you want. If you’re keeping costs down, you can still enjoy the stories fully. If you want a more social vibe, you’ll likely spend more once the group is in “let’s try one here, then one there” mode.

How Haunted Is It, and What About Rain?

Let’s set expectations clearly. This crawl is built around haunted history—meaning you’ll hear supernatural stories tied to Savannah’s past: mansions, local lore, and the reasons those stories stuck. That’s why many people love it. It feels grounded in place, not just atmosphere.

That also explains the only common disappointment theme: a few people wanted more ghost stories and less general history or humor. One person even said it was more history than they expected. Another said the night felt less haunted and more joke-and-reflection driven.

So ask yourself what you want from your evening:

• If you like stories that connect the dots between Savannah’s history and its haunting reputation, this will likely feel exactly right.
• If you want the tour to stay in pure ghost-story mode the whole time, you might feel the balance is off.

A note worth paying attention to: the company position is that they do haunted history, not ghost-scare storytelling. If that distinction matters to you, you may want a dedicated ghost-story format for maximum haunting intensity.

Weather is another real factor. The tour requires good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered another date or a full refund. Even when it’s not ideal outside, guides have gotten praised for making the time worthwhile in cold and rain. Still, bring something practical: layers, a light rain layer if you have one, and shoes you trust.

Should You Book the Haunted Savannah Pub Crawl?

Book it if you want:

• A small-group night walk with real Savannah context
• Humor plus spooky-leaning stories that connect to places in town
• Local bar stops that feel like part of the experience, not just a gimmick
• A guide you can actually talk with, like Gregg, Neil, or Teresa

Skip it (or plan carefully) if:

• You want nonstop ghost scares and a heavy focus on supernatural moments over history
• You are not interested in buying drinks at each stop (since alcohol is extra)
• You have a schedule that won’t handle weather-related changes, since the tour depends on conditions

If you can handle a two-hour walk, like history with a haunted angle, and you’re okay budgeting for a couple of drinks, this crawl is a strong pick for Savannah after dark.
