This ghost tour operation in Savannah has clearly figured out that great guides make all the difference. The standout names that keep popping up are Otto the Odd, Captain Jack, Madam Raven (also called Lady Ravenwood), Dawn, and Steven. What's impressive is how each guide brings their own flavor while maintaining deep knowledge of Savannah's haunted history. Otto commits fully to staying in character throughout the tour, which guests love even if it's occasionally a bit cheesy. Captain Jack gets praised for going the extra mile with practical touches like bringing water and umbrellas. These aren't just people reciting facts; they're storytellers who make a couple of hours fly by while keeping groups engaged and entertained. The walking tours cover both the dark and light sides of Savannah's past, with stops at various haunted locations that get thorough explanations rather than rushed drive-bys. Several reviewers specifically note that walking beats trolley or carriage tours for this deeper dive into the city's spooky side. Practical tips from guests include wearing comfortable shoes, bringing bug spray (though guides do warn you ahead of time), and booking evening tours for better atmosphere and cooler temperatures. The cemetery tour at Bonaventure also gets high marks for being intimate and unhurried. A couple minor notes: one person had to duck out for a bathroom break, and there's the typical Savannah heat to contend with during day tours, though guides do their best to keep everyone in the shade.
My friend and I took the 8am walking tour of Bonaventure Cemetery this morning (9/6) with Dawn as our guide. She was wonderful! If we did nothing else at all for the length of our stay this tour would have been worth it! She is so knowledgeable and friendly. The two hour tour covers a lot of ground but at an easy pace. Be sure to bring water and a hand fan if possible - it sure gets steamy so close to the water! I recommend this tour and be writing good reviews everywhere I can! Thank you, Dawn of Savannah’s Dead!!!
