Haunted Savannah Ghost Tour By Dr. Buzzard

Enjoyed the tour. Informative with history of Savannah along with the spooky tales.

Oh my God, don’t waste your time or money!! This was a complete farce. There are so many better ghost tours to choose from. The guide was obviously ill prepared and was just “winging it”.

Unfortunately, this was a complete disappointment. I have been on several tours throughout cities all over the world and I always try to go with local small businesses. I had high hopes based on the other reviews. Our guide arrived late, which was not a big deal, but that should have been our first red flag. We started out at Monterey Square, like the itinerary said, but it went downhill fast. I originally picked this specific tour because the tour was supposed to end closer towards where we were staying. Instead, he did not take us to any of the locations listed in the itinerary and we went further into the historic district, ending past Forsyth Park (the exact opposite direction we were to go) at a hotel where we were very obviously not supposed to be in (as he whipped his tour pass off as soon as we went onto the property), but was sold to as us a good place to get a refreshment and meet our Uber. Aside from the itinerary change, I don’t think “Lazarus” finished one single story and at times talked so low I could barely understand him. I tried marking his erratic behavior off as part of his character, but his rudeness towards other guides and individuals on the street was extremely uncomfortable. Mind you, we were an very small group, so this could have been an incredible tour, but instead we couldn’t wait for it to end. I had to remind him to finish one story, and then after that, I feel as if he didn’t finish any of the other stories. I try my hardest to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and love leaving 5 star reviews, but this was literally a waste of money, and even worse, a waste of our evening where we could have done so many other things on our limited time here.

We were originally told that we would have a female guide, which was important to us since this was a girls’ trip with my mom, my grandma, and me. At the last minute, we received a text saying our guide would instead be a man. We didn’t have an issue at first and assumed plans had simply changed. When we arrived at the meeting location he provided, he showed up about 10 minutes late. Throughout the two-hour tour, he rarely finished a single story and frequently went off on unrelated tangents, which made the experience confusing. More importantly, he made all three of us feel uncomfortable and uneasy during the tour. To make matters worse, at the end of the tour, instead of returning us to the original meeting point, he dropped us off at a hotel because it was apparently closer to his house. We were left to figure out how to get back on our own. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. We were looking forward to learning about the area and enjoying the tour together, but instead we left feeling uncomfortable and frustrated. I would not recommend this tour based on our experience.

I did the tour tonight with Jonita and she had the right amount of spooky in her story and was so helpfull with our questions and was the perfect tour guide she was wonderful.

Very informative. I even got to use an emf reader. It took about 2 hours from start to finish. Would highly recommend......

It was so cold that we were the only ones who showed up. I felt the info presented could have been done in daylight hours.

What an incredible tour! Our guide, Janine—also known as Savannah’s Lady in Mourning—was absolutely outstanding. The way she blended rich history with captivating storytelling kept our group completely engaged from start to finish.

Janine was such a delight! Very knowledgeable and engaging. There was just 4 of us in the group so it felt very intimate.

Covered a lot of ground and historical areas. Our guide was informative and truly loved the history she shared

Janine was a terrific guide. Informative funny we heard before. Definitely a plus! HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

Fun experience! Our guide, Jonita, was super knowledgeable. Liked having a small group vs. the large groups we saw walking around. Liked that the tour gave history lessons and ghost stories. Highly recommend!

This tour was just blah. A lot of walking and talking but disappointed that we were not able to go I to any of the homes or buildings. Overall I was bored. Could have maybe been a little more interesting if the group was larger or if we could go inside somewhere to see anything but it was just blah and not something I could recommend.

Very good time. Tour guide was great. She was very informative and we learned a lot of History. She knew her stuff! And We highly recommend it.

This was an outstanding tour. I haven’t done all ghost tours in Savannah but I can’t imagine a better experience. Janine was a great guide and an amazing story teller. The group was small, especially compared to other tours we walked by, which made it even better and much more personal. Book this one. You’ll love it.

My boys and I brought their friends along and thoroughly enjoyed it! Lady Lavinia is very talented in delivering her narration and the stories she shared are very engaging. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Any of Shannon Scott Tours are VERY worth your time and money. Bonaventure, Historic Savannah, Low Country & Private with Shannon Scott Tours (912) 319-5600

I enjoyed this ghost tour so much! Janine has a calm demeanor and sultry voice that draws you in when she tells a story. I have done lots of ghost tours in my day and this one was exceptional.

I've been on a few ghost tours, but I liked this one the best because it was based on actual historic facts. I highly recommend!!!

I have experienced Shannon Scott Tours a few times. This company never disappoints. Dr. Buzzard's Goodtime Ghost Tour is a great time. Our guide, Lady Lavinia, was fun and interesting. She was wonderful. I love getting a blend of historical facts along with spooky stories. Walking through the squares at night listening to haunted tales is eerie, but awesome. I love the added touch of the gris gris bag. Everyone needs one! Highly recommend this tour.

Another wonderful tour offered by an amazing company. This tour has a bit of everything: history, mystery, intrigue, and ghost stories. Will definitely do the tour again on my next visit!

I've done some ghost tours in the past, and some haunted experiences as well in both New Orleans and Savannah, but this one takes the cake! Our guide, Janine, was well versed in all the haints and haunts that Savannah has to offer, and kept us engaged as we wandered over so much of the city. My friends and I visit Savannah frequently, but we still learned some things about downtown Savannah that we never knew before! We also enjoyed the little gift bags at the end - that was a really cool touch. Thanks Janine!
