Haunted Savannah Pub Crawl and Historic District Ghost Tour

The listed price is $35 per person. That buys you a professional guide for about two hours, roughly 90 minutes of it on foot through the Historic District, plus the organization of 3 to 5 pub stops chosen for the group that night. The group is limited to 10 participants, which is one of the smallest group caps of any walking tour in our catalog.

Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before the start, and the listing offers reserve now, pay later, so you can hold a spot without paying upfront.

What is not in the price

Drinks and food are not included. You buy them at each pub, and you carry your drink between stops under Savannah's open container rule. Rain gear is also not included, so check the forecast and bring a layer or umbrella if the evening looks wet, since the tour runs in the evening regardless of drizzle.

• Professional tour guide for the full two hours
• About 90 minutes of walking between haunted sites in the Historic District
• 3 to 5 pub stops, set by the group on the night
• Small group capped at 10 participants
• Drinks and food, bought at each pub
• Rain gear, not provided

The tour meets at 7:30 pm in Madison Square at Charlton and Bull Streets. There is no hotel pickup, so plan to get yourself there. Madison Square is a good stage for the evening's stories, because the Sorrel-Weed House stands right on the square.

Guides tell the legends around that house, built for shipping merchant Francis Sorrel between 1835 and 1840, whose wife Matilda died by suicide. The house later ran its own ghost tours and appeared on Ghost Hunters and BuzzFeed Unsolved, though the popular Molly story has no historical record behind it.

From the square the guide leads the group on foot through the Historic District, taking in many of the city's known haunted locations. Savannah is often called one of the most haunted cities in the country. In 2002 the American Institute of Parapsychology named it America's Most Haunted City, a title its own founder called more honorary than scientific, and New Orleans and Charleston claim it too.

The exact route shifts, and the guide can tailor the tour to suit the group, which is easier with only 10 guests than with a crowd.

The pub stops

There are 3 to 5 pub stops, and the listing says the count is determined by how thirsty the group may be. At each stop you buy a beverage of your choice. Because of the open container law you can carry it with you as you walk to the next location, which is the whole trick of the format.

The tour ends at the last pub, so your finishing point depends on the route the guide chooses. Easy walking throughout, but wear comfortable shoes for 90 minutes on cobblestones and sidewalks.

This is the rule that makes a pub crawl on foot possible here. In Savannah's Historic District you may carry one alcoholic drink on the street in an open plastic cup of up to 16 ounces. No glass and no cans.

That means your pint from the first pub travels with you to the second, legally.

The limits to know

The freedom stops at the district line. Outside the Historic District, open containers stay banned. Public intoxication laws still apply everywhere.

Both pub crawls in our comparison are 21 and over with photo ID, and every drink is paid at the bar. Bring your passport or driver's license, since the bars and the guide will want to see it.

For events and opening hours downtown, the city's official visitor bureau runs Visit Savannah.

This is the question the honest answer has to address. Travellers describe the guides as knowledgeable and entertaining, sharing Savannah history and leading stops at local bars. Overall they describe an enjoyable and informative experience.

But some travellers mention that clearer expectations about the amount of ghost content would help. In other words, the balance between storytelling and socializing can vary with the group.

The practical read: treat this as a social night with haunted legends woven between the pubs, not a lecture punctuated by drinks. If you want the reverse, a story-first evening with no bar stops at all, the Savannah Candlelit Ghost Walking Tour runs 90 minutes by lantern light with groups up to 30 for $39. If you want darker stories in a no-kids setting but still no bars, the Dead of Night Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour is $34.99 and sticks to murder and burial ground tales.

And if you want real crimes instead of ghosts, The Original Murder Tour: Savannah True Crime Pub Crawl is the same pub format built on real cases for $40.

Book this if you match most of the following. You are 21 or older and traveling with adults. You want company and conversation as much as stories.

You like the idea of a drink in hand while you hear about the Sorrel-Weed House and the oddities of a city founded in 1733. You would rather walk with 9 other people than with 29.

• Adults only, 21 and over with picture ID
• Travellers who want a relaxed social night, not a solemn ghost lecture
• Visitors who value a small group capped at 10
• Anyone happy to buy drinks at each pub and carry one on the street
• People with easy fitness, comfortable with 90 minutes of evening walking

It does not fit families, since the age rule is firm. For a gentle all-ages option, the Fraidy Cat Family-Friendly Ghost Tour of Savannah runs 90 minutes to 2 hours from $29.99 and welcomes children. It also does not suit anyone wanting interior access or equipment.

For going inside a reportedly haunted building with ghost-hunting gear, the Guided Paranormal Ghost Hunting Investigation at 416 W Liberty runs about 1.5 hours indoors for $86.

Savannah has a crowded ghost tour market, and this pub crawl sits in a specific slot: small group, drinks extra, adults only, two hours for $35. Here is how it stands against the closest alternatives in our catalog.

The table sets this listing against the closest alternatives in the catalog on price, length and format. Figures current for Q4 2026.

If the deciding factor is price, the Dead of Night walk undercuts this crawl by a cent and the family option starts at $29.99, but neither lets you carry a drink. If the deciding factor is reviews, the candlelit walk leads the catalog at 4.9 from 3,542 reviews, against 4.7 from 317 for this crawl. If it is intimacy, the crawl and the Bonaventure golf cart tour are the only two capped at 10.
