Savannah gets a different voice after dark. This supernatural walking tour uses real historic sites to tell darker stories you usually miss on daytime loops. I especially love the story-first guiding (often led by an enthusiastic Jodie-style storyteller) and the value: $20 for about 90 minutes in the Historic District.
The big practical win is the timing. You get a night tour that leaves your day open for tours, museums, or a slow dinner. The main consideration is that it’s still a nighttime walk, so plan for comfortable shoes and expect you’ll spend a good chunk of the evening on your feet.

A 7:00 pm haunted walk that keeps your day open
This tour is built for nighttime energy. Meeting at 7:00 pm means you’re not racing through the city in daylight, and you can keep mornings for markets, museums, or just getting your bearings.
It also helps the pacing. Savannah at night feels calmer in the streets, and the walking rhythm makes the stories land better. If you’re the type who likes your history with atmosphere, this format is made for you.

Price and what $20 buys you in Savannah
The price is one of the strongest reasons to take this. At $20 per person for about 1 hour 30 minutes, you’re paying less than many walking tours and spending your evening on-guided storytelling instead of guessing what to look at.
Also, this is a Historic District-oriented experience rather than a long transfer tour. You’re staying in the walkable core around the squares and notable landmarks, which is where most people want to be anyway.
If you’re traveling as a couple or family and want a fun, spooky activity that doesn’t blow up your budget, this is a very sensible choice.
Getting started: 21 W Bay St to 125 E Broughton St
You’ll start at 21 W Bay St, Savannah, GA 31401, and end at 125 E Broughton St. That matters more than it sounds. Those addresses place you right where you can connect easily to dinner plans afterward without turning the night into a transportation project.
The tour uses a mobile ticket, and you’ll receive confirmation at booking. Service animals are allowed, and it’s described as near public transportation, which can be a relief if you don’t want to figure out parking late at night.
Stop 1: Moon River Brewing Company and the tour’s tone-setting start
The walk begins at Moon River Brewing. Even if you’re not stopping for a drink, it’s a strong kickoff because it’s a historic-feeling setting that’s set up for stories.
A nice detail here is that the tour lists admission ticket free for this first stop. So you’re not paying extra at the beginning, and you can focus on listening and watching without turning the start into a transaction.
What I like about starting here is how it shifts your mindset fast. Instead of beginning on a vague street corner, you’re anchored at a recognizable place, which makes the rest of the walking feel connected.
Stop 2: Johnson Square and the “Hostess City” story thread
After Moon River Brewing, you head to Johnson Square. This is one of those Savannah locations that feels built for guided commentary: open space, old surroundings, and a layout that helps the guide keep the group together.
The tour spends about 10 minutes here, and the guide tells haunted stories tied to Savannah’s past. You’ll hear more than the usual generalities, because the point of this tour is dark history and unusual stories rather than repeat highlights.
This is also a smart “first major square” stop. By the time you reach it, you’ve warmed up to the night atmosphere. If you came for a short, punchy ghost walk, Johnson Square is where you’ll likely start feeling that you’re getting value for the time.
Other walking history tours in Savannah
Colonial Park Cemetery: what you’ll learn from Savannah’s oldest surviving formal burial area
One of the most compelling parts of the route is the stop at Colonial Park Cemetery. The focus here is specific: Savannah’s oldest surviving formal burial area.
That kind of detail changes the tone. It stops being only spooky entertainment and turns into real context. Even if you don’t consider yourself a cemetery person, the guided explanation helps you understand why this place matters, not just why it’s spooky.
It’s also a good reminder that “haunted” in Savannah often comes from the way the city remembers itself. This stop gives you that lens, so later stories around the Historic District feel less random.
Historic District stroll: squares, streets, and the stories behind what you see
After the cemetery, the walk turns its attention to the Historic District and Savannah’s many squares. This is where the tour earns its “supernatural” label by connecting stories to the actual streetscape you’re standing in.
The route is designed for a smooth stroll rather than a strenuous hike. You’ll spend your time moving between points of interest and listening, which keeps the tour accessible for most people.
A practical advantage: you’re not stuck spending hours inside one venue. You get an evening walk through the areas that visitors most want to see, with guided commentary giving you something to think about besides just architecture.
The guide matters, and this tour is built for storytelling
The strongest pattern in the feedback is the guide’s energy and storytelling. Names like Jodie come up again and again, and the comments paint the same picture: animated, funny, and tuned to the crowd.
That matters because haunted tours can fall into two traps. Either they read like a checklist of legends, or they get too scary and lose the history thread. This one seems to balance both. You can expect a mix of history + local lore delivered in a way that stays entertaining for couples and families.
I also like that the pacing stays moving. There are mentions of not feeling like you’re trudging through the full hour and a half. That’s huge in Savannah, where you may already be walking a lot during the day.
Who should book this tour (and who should plan another night)
This is a good fit if you want:
- A fun, spooky activity that still teaches Savannah context
- A nighttime walk that uses the Historic District instead of a far-out destination
- A tour that works for couples and families, including guests who want something not too extreme
It might be less ideal if:
- You hate walking at night, even for about 90 minutes
- You want a tour that goes inside major attractions for long periods (this is built around stops and street-level storytelling, not a lot of indoor time)
- You’re expecting a totally silent, candle-lit experience. This one leans energetic and talkative.
Tips to get more out of the night (without turning it into work)
Here’s how to make this feel great, not just okay.
First, wear comfortable shoes. The route is a walking tour, and Savannah evenings are often cooler but still uneven underfoot. You’ll enjoy the stops more if your feet aren’t distracting you.
Second, arrive ready to listen. The best payoff comes when you treat it like a guided story walk, not just a photo scavenger hunt. If you ask questions during the stops, you’ll likely get the kinds of extra details that make the night stick with you.
Third, plan your dinner after. Because the tour ends near 125 E Broughton St, you can smoothly transition into food instead of spending more time figuring out your next move.
Should you book the Savannah Supernatural Haunted Walking Tour?
If you’re choosing between a casual ghost story stop and a real guided experience, I’d lean toward booking this one. For $20 and about 1.5 hours, it’s a strong value deal, especially because it stays focused on haunted history in the Historic District and doesn’t eat your whole evening.
Book it if you want an entertaining guide, you like squares and historic stops, and you’d enjoy hearing what makes places like Johnson Square and Colonial Park Cemetery part of Savannah’s darker lore. Skip it only if you’re not comfortable walking at night or you want deep indoor access rather than a story-driven street tour.
