Haunted Savannah Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour

Savannah’s Booze and Boos tour mixes ghost stories with four pub stops, so you get a history walk and a night out in one package. The route begins at 225 East Bay Street and usually ends near River Street, with the harbor area providing the first setting for spooky tales and drinks.

I like the small maximum of 16 people, which gives a lively guide a fair chance to keep the group together. I also like the range of guides, including Olivia, Kaitlyn, Chris, Dalton, Sky, and Katie, who are repeatedly praised for humor, storytelling, and local tips. The main consideration is that this is more of a fun pub crawl with ghost stories than a serious paranormal investigation, and drinks are not included.

Key details before you book

• Four historic pub stops: You visit local bars and hear about their haunted pasts while buying your own drinks.
• A costumed guide leads the way: Some guides use playful characters, including a pirate costume, which sets a light and theatrical tone.
• River Street anchors the route: The tour begins near East Bay Street and usually finishes near the harbor.
• A small group keeps things manageable: The maximum is 16 people, useful on busy evenings.
• Plan for a real walk: The tour lasts about three hours, with roughly 2.5 hours devoted to walking and stops.
• Drinks cost extra: At $39.92 per person before beverages, the fee pays for the guide, stories, and organization rather than a round of drinks.

A ghost tour with a pub-crawl pulse

The appeal is simple. Savannah is at its best after dark, when old streets, squares, taverns, and harbor buildings make an easy stage for tales of restless spirits. This tour gives you a guide, a route, and four places to stop for a drink, so you do not have to build your own evening from scratch.

You should arrive ready for a social outing. The group may include couples, friends, family groups, and celebrations, including bachelorette parties. The best guides keep the mood moving without letting the group turn into a free-for-all. Olivia is often singled out for managing groups well, while Chris is praised for combining jokes with useful local context. Kaitlyn is known for a lively delivery, and Sky receives high marks for her storytelling around River Street.

The costume matters more than you might expect. A pirate-clad guide, for example, signals that the evening will be theatrical and approachable. If you want solemn accounts of every reported haunting, that tone may not suit you. If you want a few chills, some laughs, and a drink in hand, it is a good fit.

Starting near East Bay Street and the Savannah Harbor

The meeting point is 225 East Bay Street, close to the eastern end of Savannah’s historic center and within walking distance of River Street. The opening portion takes you toward the harbor, where the city’s old commercial past gives the stories a fitting backdrop.

The River Street stop is listed at about 20 minutes and does not require a separate admission ticket. Expect drinks and spooky stories near the Savannah Harbor, then more walking through the historic area. The route is designed to connect the bars with sites and buildings along the way, rather than simply moving from one pub door to the next.

That is one of the tour’s better features. You are not confined inside bars for three hours. The walk gives you a look at Savannah after dark, while the guide fills in stories about local hauntings, buildings, and people connected to the city.

Wear comfortable shoes. The tour requires a moderate level of fitness and is not recommended if you have mobility problems. Service animals are allowed, and the starting area is near public transportation, but the evening still involves standing, walking, and keeping pace with a group.

Four bars, four chances to find your evening rhythm

The four pub stops are the heart of the experience. You buy your own alcoholic drinks, and the guide explains the background of each place as the group settles in. The bars are selected for their local and historic character, not simply as interchangeable places to grab a beer.

Some stops may feel cozy and relaxed, while others may be busier or slower to serve a large group. One account praises a comfortable bar with friendly service, while another points out slow service at some stops. That variation is worth keeping in mind. The tour controls the route, but it cannot control how quickly each bar handles a group.

Drink choices may also feel limited at some locations. If you are particular about cocktails, beer, or wine, ask the guide what is available when you arrive. The value is in the setting, stories, and company, not in receiving a prearranged tasting menu.

One benefit of the format is that you do not need to commit to a separate pub crawl and a separate ghost walk. The $39.92 fee covers the organized experience and guide, while each drink is purchased separately. Depending on how much you order, the total cost can rise quickly, so set a budget before you start.

Stories between the bars

The stories are not limited to the pubs. The route includes stops along the way, and the guide connects Savannah’s streets and buildings to tales of ghosts and local events. That makes the walk more varied than sitting in one tavern listening to a long presentation.

The quality depends heavily on the guide. Olivia is repeatedly praised for funny, clear storytelling and good drink suggestions. Kaitlyn is described as an engaging storyteller who adds city history to the spooky material. Dalton receives strong marks for Halloween outings, while Chris is praised for keeping a larger group entertained.

You may hear a mix of documented Savannah history, local legends, and ghost lore. The tour’s purpose is entertainment, so do not expect every tale to be presented like a formal historical lecture. The strongest guides use the stories to help you notice the city around you, then give the group enough humor to keep the evening light.

That balance is important. One low rating describes a guide who seemed tired, pushed too hard for tips, and delivered stories that felt less frightening than expected. Another person wanted a more serious treatment of particular hauntings and found the presentation too touristy. These are fair warnings for anyone seeking a darker or more detailed paranormal experience.

The 17Hundred90 and other memorable stops

One bar receives special praise by name: 17Hundred90. It is mentioned as a stop not to miss, which suggests that the location itself can be a highlight, not just a place to buy a drink. The tour also visits several sites between bars, giving you more than four isolated pub interiors.

The exact bar sequence can vary, so you should not book this expecting a fixed tasting route or a guaranteed drink menu. Instead, think of the evening as a guided circuit through Savannah’s older streets, with four historic watering holes acting as anchors.

That format works especially well if you are new to the city. You get a quick sense of the River Street area, see where the nightlife is concentrated, and hear enough local stories to help you choose where to return later.

What the three-hour timing really means

The experience is advertised at about three hours, with the walking portion described as roughly 2.5 hours. That leaves room for the four stops, ordering drinks, listening to stories, and moving between locations.

This is not a rushed sprint. At the same time, you should not expect a long sit-down session at every bar. The guide needs to keep the group moving, and service times can affect how long you remain in each place.

The small group limit helps. Sixteen people is large enough for a social evening but much easier to manage than a major coach group. It also gives you a better chance of hearing the guide outdoors and asking a question during a stop.

Because the experience is offered in English, you should be comfortable following spoken stories while walking and in bar settings. The guide’s voice, the street noise, and the crowd inside each pub can affect how clearly you hear every detail.

Price, drinks, and overall value

At $39.92 per person, the price is reasonable if you want an organized evening that combines guiding, local stories, and entry to four bars without paying a separate admission fee at each stop. It is less appealing if you mainly want cheap drinks or a formal ghost investigation.

The fee does not include alcohol. You should budget separately for four drinks if you plan to order at every stop, plus any food and tip you choose to add. Some people appreciate the freedom to buy only what they want. Others may feel the value is weaker because no beverage is included.

I see the price as payment for convenience and structure. You do not need to research haunted bars, plan a route, or decide where to go next. You also get a guide who can explain what makes each place interesting. The value rises when the guide is energetic and the group is in a good mood.

It falls if you dislike pub crowds, do not drink, or want highly detailed accounts of specific hauntings. You can still join for the stories, but the evening is built around bars, and the drinking element is not a side feature.

Which guide and tone should you expect?

Guide assignments can change, so you cannot reliably request Olivia, Kaitlyn, Chris, Sky, Dalton, or Katie in advance from the information available. Still, those names help show the range of the experience.

Olivia is praised for being funny, direct, professional, and good at keeping a group on track. Kaitlyn is a strong match for anyone who likes an expressive storyteller with plenty of humor. Chris brings a playful, friendly approach, including a pirate-style presentation in one account. Sky is praised for making the walk through historic Savannah charming and engaging.

The pirate costume and other theatrical touches are clues to the overall style. This is spooky entertainment with drinks, not a silent candlelit vigil. Some people will find that mix exactly right. Others may want fewer jokes and more time spent on the darker stories.

Who will enjoy Booze and Boos most?

I would recommend this tour for adults who want a social first-night activity in Savannah. It works well for couples, groups of friends, birthdays, Halloween visits, and anyone who likes learning a bit of local history while trying several bars.

It is also useful early in a stay. The route gives you a feel for the River Street area and may introduce you to bars you would not have chosen on your own. You can return to a favorite stop later, especially if the guide’s drink suggestions suit your taste.

I would be cautious if you have difficulty walking or standing, since the tour requires moderate physical fitness and is not recommended for people with mobility problems. I would also think twice if you want a scholarly history tour, a frightening paranormal investigation, or a quiet evening.

All participants must be at least 21 and carry valid identification. That rule applies even if you plan to drink very little, so bring your ID rather than assume your age will be obvious.

Booking, weather, and cancellation details

You receive confirmation at booking, and the tour can be canceled for a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted for a refund.

The tour requires good weather. If poor weather causes the operator to cancel, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. The same choice applies if the minimum number needed to operate is not reached.

The tour is commonly booked about 23 days ahead. That is useful to know if your Savannah dates are fixed, especially around Halloween or a busy weekend. A mobile ticket makes arrival simple, but you should still allow time to reach 225 East Bay Street and find the group before departure.

Should you book this Savannah ghost tour?

Book it if you want four historic bars, local ghost stories, and a funny guide in one organized evening. The small group, River Street setting, and strong guide roster make it an easy choice for a first visit, provided you enjoy walking and buying your own drinks.

Skip it if your priority is a serious paranormal tour, included alcohol, or a slow meal at each stop. The best way to approach Booze and Boos is as a spirited Savannah night out with haunted themes. Go with comfortable shoes, valid ID, a sensible drink budget, and an appetite for stories that may be more amusing than frightening.
