Always a good time! - Went in knowing a few of the stories already, so was very interested in the guides info. Dariah ( sorry if spelled wrong ) was so sweet, knowledgeable and patient with my group of people. Highly recommend any of the Afterlife tours! Ryan and Kim put a lot of time and love into making these experiences great. The only thing i would say is the guides need to be a bit louder, only because of the Savannah nightlife. Will do again!

Perfect for True Crime Aficionados and History Buffs! - Darrieah (apologies for any misspellings) was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, down to earth, and extremely friendly. The tour strikes a fun and intriguing balance between talking about the featured crimes and scandals themselves and their place within broader Savannah history. The coolest part is Afterlife Tours is each tour has been fully researched at the Georgia Historical Society and the St. Augustine Historical Society. It's so easy to lean into the urban legends, especially with a city as famous for its dark and eccentric side like Savannah, so hearing about what was true and what wasn't made the experience more memorable. The tour was at night, which added the atmosphere and offered some relief from hot and humid weather. Savannah is a very safe city, especially in the downtown region, so it's perfect for those who want something a bit spooky but not overwhelmingly so. Thank you so much Darrieah, Ryan, and the rest of the team at Afterlife Tours!
