Ghosts and Gravestones Trolley Tour with Andrew Low House Entry

The listing prices this night trolley at $43 per person. That single ticket covers the trolley transportation, the guide in period costume, entry and a tour inside the Andrew Low House, and what the listing calls an exclusive visit to River Street's Perkins and Sons Ship Chandlery. Tips are optional and not included, so bring a little cash if the guide lands the stories.

There are no meals and no hotel pickup.

Booking and cancellation

You can reserve now and pay later, which helps when you are still deciding between this and a walking tour. Free cancellation runs up to 24 hours before the start. Start times are shown at checkout rather than printed on the listing, so check them before you plan dinner around it.

Rating breakdown

The listing carries a 4.3 rating from 1,389 reviews. The sub-scores tell a clearer story: guides score 4.5 and transportation 4.7, while value comes in at 4.1, the weakest number. Travellers describe engaging, knowledgeable guides and an entertaining blend of history and spooky stories, and overall call it an enjoyable evening activity.

The Andrew Low House sits at 329 Abercorn Street on Lafayette Square. It was built in 1849 to a design by architect John S. Norris for Andrew Low, the father-in-law of Juliette Gordon Low, who founded the Girl Scouts. This is one of two buildings you actually enter, which is what separates this listing from trolley rides that only point at haunted houses through the window.

Guides tell of unrest still in the home, along with personal experiences reported by staff and guests over the years. These are the house's stories and legends, told for atmosphere, and the listing presents them as tales rather than documented events. The stop works as a short walk-through with the guide, one of the two short walks that make the difficulty rating easy.

Why the entry matters

Most Savannah ghost tours keep you outdoors all night. Stepping inside a real 1849 mansion at night changes the feel of the stories, and it gives you a break from the open air if the evening turns cool.

The second interior stop is the Perkins and Sons Ship Chandlery, a restored 19th-century shipping warehouse on River Street, close to where you board. A ship chandlery was the store that supplied sailing vessels.

Here the guide tells the stories and legends of the Savannah Waterfront and River Street over the centuries. The listing calls this an exclusive nighttime entry. As with the Low House, treat what you hear as storytelling tradition rather than case files.

Guides in costume lean into it, and the whole evening mixes humor with the gloomier material.

What the chandlery adds

River Street after dark is the right setting for sailor stories and warehouse legends, and being indoors for part of the night makes this listing workable even when Savannah's weather turns damp. Between the two building entries you still spend the majority of the 80 minutes seated on the trolley, so this is the low-effort way to hear the waterfront's old tales.

The ride begins down on the Savannah Waterfront and travels through the historic squares of the Savannah Historic District. The listing names Columbia Square, Wright Square, Telfair Square and Lafayette Square as stops along the way, and naturally there are also stories relating to Colonial Park Cemetery, the burial ground that opened in 1750 and holds an estimated 9,000 graves, including more than 700 victims of the 1820 yellow fever epidemic.

Beyond the squares, you will pass and hear stories about the Olde Harbour Inn, the Pirate's House, the 1790 Inn, the Hamilton-Turner Inn and the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Pirate's House is a real piece of the city's past, with its Herb House section dating from 1734, and Robert Louis Stevenson placed Captain Flint's last days there in Treasure Island. The guides have material ready for each of these as the trolley rolls past.

Rules on board

The listing sets a short list of conditions, and they are enforced at boarding.

• Children under 6 are not permitted on this tour
• Wheelchair users cannot be accommodated on the trolley
• No pets
• No smoking
• No luggage or large bags
• No unaccompanied minors
• Tips for the guide are optional

Holiday dates

On some holiday dates the departure point changes. On those dates the trolley leaves from 250 MLK Blvd instead of the River Street depot, and the tour stops at the Andrew Low House and Colonial Park Cemetery. The listing shows the affected dates in its booking notes, so read them before you head to the waterfront.

For opening times of the squares' museums and the rest of a Savannah stay, the city's official visitor bureau keeps a Savannah planning site.

This is the right pick if you want the haunted Savannah stories without 90 minutes on your feet. You sit for most of the 80 minutes, the two building entries are short walks, and the pace suits anyone who finds the walking tours too much standing. Couples on a first night in town get a wide sweep of the squares plus two interiors for one ticket.

Who should look elsewhere

Families with children under 6 need a different listing, since the age rule is firm. The Fraidy Cat Family-Friendly Ghost Tour of Savannah takes all ages and tells its stories playful rather than terrifying. Wheelchair users should also look at the walking options, several of which the listings describe as accessible, though the terrain varies.

And if you want to actually stand in a haunted building and run ghost-hunting gear, the Guided Paranormal Ghost Hunting Investigation at 416 W Liberty puts you indoors with equipment for 1.5 hours, at a higher price.

One thing to plan around

Travellers mention that the narration can be hard to hear from the back of the trolley, and some ask for slower delivery and clearer audio. If you care about catching every word, board early and take a seat near the front. Guides score 4.5, so the material lands well when you can hear it.

Savannah has no shortage of night options, and the right choice depends on whether you want to sit, walk, drink or investigate. This listing is the mid-priced way to cover the most ground with two building entries included. Here is how it stacks up against the closest alternatives in the catalog.
