Savannah at night has a different heartbeat. This 1 hour 30 minute haunted walking tour turns the Historic District into a guided story walk with supernatural spins on real places. You start at 21 W Bay St at 7:00 pm and finish near 125 E Broughton St, so you keep your whole day free for normal sightseeing.

What I like most is how the guide mixes facts with creepy local lore, without turning the evening into a campy act. The guide energy stands out too—names like Jodie (also shown as Jordi, Jordy, and Jody in feedback) show up again and again for fast, animated storytelling and lots of room for questions. You’ll get a guided route that feels like Savannah is telling you its secrets.

One consideration: this is a walk, not a scavenger hunt into every famous haunted room. If you’re hoping to go inside multiple stops, you might feel a bit limited, and you’ll want to plan for mostly exterior viewing—plus comfortable shoes matter.

Why a 7pm haunted walk fits Savannah so well

Savannah Supernatural Haunted Walking Tour - Why a 7pm haunted walk fits Savannah so well
Savannah’s best daytime plan is simple: wander, eat, take photos. The best night plan is also simple: do something that changes how you see those same streets. A 7:00 pm tour is a smart switch. You get the day for museums, river views, or just a slow stroll, then you return when the Historic District feels more atmospheric.

This one runs about 1 hour 30 minutes. That length is ideal if you want a real program—enough time for multiple stops and a storyline—without eating up your entire evening. And the fact it’s in English helps keep the pacing tight and easy to follow.

You’ll also appreciate that it’s a small-group experience (up to 30). Big group tours often turn into “listen when you can.” Here, the structure supports clearer narration as you move from spot to spot.

Moon River Brewing: a spooky opener on Bay Street

The tour begins at Moon River Brewing Company on W Bay St. It’s a strong start because it’s both historic and very easy to imagine as a scene from a Savannah ghost story. You’re not starting in some random parking lot. You’re starting right where you’d naturally be if you were doing a casual night out—and then your guide flips on the supernatural lens.

Stop one is scheduled for about 10 minutes, and it includes an admission ticket that’s listed as free. Translation for your planning brain: you’re not paying extra at this first stop, and you can use that brief time to get oriented while the guide sets the tone.

This kind of beginning matters. If the first stop feels lame, the rest of the walk struggles to keep attention. Here, the opening hits the sweet spot: a real Savannah landmark with enough personality to pull you into the evening.

Johnson Square: learning the story behind the pretty streets

Savannah Supernatural Haunted Walking Tour - Johnson Square: learning the story behind the pretty streets
After the brewery, your route moves through historic Savannah, with Johnson Square as the next named stop. Johnson Square is one of those places where you can feel the city’s age just by looking at it. In daylight it’s lovely. At night, it’s the kind of place where a normal conversation can sound a little too dramatic.

Stop two is also about 10 minutes, and again the listing notes free admission ticket. Your guide uses these short pauses well. You get to slow down, take in the square, and hear stories connected to what you’re seeing rather than just hearing scary-sounding names.

What I especially like about this part is that you’re not wandering aimlessly through the Historic District. The guide’s job is to turn the walk into a coherent route. You’ll get the sense that Savannah’s squares weren’t just decorative—they were shaped by events, people, and the darker turns of the city’s past.

Colonial Park Cemetery: a quieter kind of haunting

Savannah Supernatural Haunted Walking Tour - Colonial Park Cemetery: a quieter kind of haunting
One of the best stops on this tour is Colonial Park Cemetery. This is where the supernatural storytelling takes on a more grounded, old-Savannah weight. Instead of focusing only on dramatic legends, the guide points you toward the city’s earliest surviving formal burial area.

The listing doesn’t give a set time window for this stop, but you can count on it being a meaningful segment. Cemeteries change how you experience a ghost walk. The mood slows down. Your questions start sounding different too.

If you’re the kind of person who likes history that has texture—names, dates, places you can stand near—this stop is a strong reason to book. It’s also a good balance against the brighter, square-filled stretches of downtown.

From there, the tour focuses on the Historic District and its many “twisted tales.” This is where you see why a guided supernatural walk can be more than just spooky filler.

You’ll be strolling through Savannah’s beautiful squares again, but the key difference is that you’re listening with context. The guide ties what you’re seeing to stories that explain why certain corners have a reputation. You’ll likely hear about dark periods and unusual details that don’t show up on a standard sightseeing loop.

A practical note: one family suggested adding the Mercer-Williams House, saying it’s intriguing for newcomers even though it’s a popular stop. Use that as a planning signal. If Mercer-Williams is on your must-see list, consider pairing this night tour with a daytime visit on a separate outing.

How scary is it, and who it’s for

Savannah Supernatural Haunted Walking Tour - How scary is it, and who it’s for
This tour sits in a fun middle zone: creepy, supernatural, and story-driven, but not described as a nightmare scenario. The most repeated praise centers on being entertaining and educational, with the mix of history and local lore landing well for couples and families.

That matters if you’re traveling with kids or people who don’t want horror-movie intensity. There are multiple family-focused positives, including notes about the walk being enjoyable and a good fit for kids. At the same time, couples seem to love it too—especially for the humor and the way the guide keeps the pace moving.

You can also read the vibe in the guide feedback. People mention the guide’s animated storytelling and enthusiasm, plus a sense of humor that doesn’t cross the line into annoying. If you like your ghost tours with laughs and structure, this fits.

Price and value: why $20 feels like a steal

Savannah Supernatural Haunted Walking Tour - Price and value: why $20 feels like a steal
At $20 per person, this tour is priced in the sweet spot between “I’ll try it” and “this better be good.” And the feedback supports that. A recurring theme is value—especially when people compare it to other walking ghost tours that cost closer to $40.

Here’s the real value argument for you: you’re paying for a 1.5-hour guided route at night in Savannah’s Historic District. That includes multiple planned stops, guided commentary, and a guided walking experience that keeps you from having to piece everything together yourself.

Add in the small group limit (30 max), and you get even more reason the price holds up. In a large group, even a great guide can get drowned out. In a smaller group, the guide’s storytelling has room to land.

One more value angle: starting at 7:00 pm helps you avoid “wasted hours” in your day. You’re not hunting for a night activity at the last minute. You’re choosing something scheduled, structured, and easy to fit.

Timing, meeting points, and what to bring

Start time is 7:00 pm. You’ll meet at 21 W Bay St, Savannah, GA 31401. The tour ends at 125 E Broughton St, Savannah, GA 31401. This matters because you can plan your post-tour dinner or bar stop near Broughton instead of trekking across town.

A mobile ticket is used, which is a real convenience. You won’t need paper tickets or complicated check-in rituals. Also, the tour is described as near public transportation, so you can use transit if you’d rather not deal with parking after dark.

What to bring is simple: comfortable shoes. People explicitly recommend that, and they’re right. You’ll be walking through an evening route with stops, and Savannah sidewalks can be uneven in places.

If you’re visiting in a weather roller-coaster season, pay attention to the weather note. The tour requires good weather. If it’s canceled due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

Practical group size and the guide experience

Max 30 travelers can feel like a small detail, but it changes your whole experience. You’re hearing stories. You’re listening for names, places, and connections. In a crowded group, you lose half the plot just from distance.

This tour also clearly leans into guide-led performance. The repeated praise for Jodie and his energy tells you what to expect: animated storytelling, humor, and a fast pace that still stays readable.

One family note points out that the walk didn’t feel overly rigorous. That’s consistent with the structure you’ll experience: a series of stops with short time windows at at least the first two locations. It’s not a long hike. It’s a night walk built around story pauses.

Should you book this Savannah Supernatural Haunted Walking Tour?

Book it if you want an easy, guided way to see Savannah’s Historic District after dark. You’ll like the route structure, the mix of haunted storytelling with real context, and the fact the guide’s energy seems to be a major part of why people rate it so highly.

Skip it or plan differently if your idea of a ghost tour is going inside famous sites. This experience is set up like a street-and-square story walk, with the biggest “stop moments” at places like Moon River Brewing, Johnson Square, and Colonial Park Cemetery. If you want indoor access at specific attractions, combine this tour with separate daytime visits.

Also book early if your schedule is fixed. The tour is often booked about 16 days in advance on average, and a maximum of 30 travelers means you’ll want your spot locked in rather than rolling the dice.

If you’re craving a night activity that feels local, story-rich, and good value at $20, this is a strong pick.
