Of course when one is in Savannah, one must take a ghost tour. This company had the best rating (that I could find), so I read more. They offered three different tours. The one we settled on was the "uncensored zombie tour" for adults only. First points, no kids allowed. I've been on tours where the parents insisted on bringing the kids and that ruined the experience for everyone else. And zombies? Why not? They were very clear on the tour description that the modern idea of a zombie wouldn't be covered on the tour. Fair enough. Our guide, Topher, was everything a guide on one of these should be. He was an excellent storyteller, projected enough for everyone to hear him, and they offered visual aids like pictures and a video. We stopped at Colonial Park Cemetery, the Mercer - Williams House (of course), the Espy House, the old Candler Park Hospital, and 432 Abercorn St. It was also obvious he believed a lot of the stories which added to the show. The "uncensored" part meant that he could swear and no one would be offended. It was a good evening to walk and no annoying drunks to deal with. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone looking for that sort of evening entertainment. read more

We had a great time. It was very interesting hearing the stories about Savannah and is various hauntings and ghost tales. A huge thank you goes out to our tour guide Adam. He made a very frigid night, one to remember. read more

I thought the Zombie tour was GREAT!! Our guide was Tobias (the founder of Blue Orb) and he really knows how to scare the you-know-what out of you!! I'm not the biggest believer in paranormal activity, but he had me sold. At our stop at 432 Abercorn, I got so spooked that I couldn't get myself to even look at the house, because I was scared I was going to see something I didn't want to see. I was also keeping my safe distance, while everyone else moved in closer... noooo way!! The website stated that the tour lasts 2 hours. About 2 hours into the tour, we had one more stop to go. We had to get up early the next morning, so we decided to skip the last stop. I would expect the whole tour (plus the time to walk all the way back to your beginning point) to last more like 2.5-3 hours. Also, we walked a lot more than just a mile (as indicated on their website). I mapped it out later and came up to about 3 miles. So, I would recommend to wear VERY comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water (especially when you're doing the tour in the sticky summer heat of Savannah). I would recommend this tour to anyone!! It's worth the money! read more

We chose Blue Orb after cross-referencing a bunch of travel sites. My husband and I were taking a mini break in Savannah this past weekend, and had to see what all the ghost fuss was about (we're kinda big into ghost tours - have 3-4 under our belts already). Tobias was our tour guide and he was ever the professional - albeit a bit creepy himself. He was prompt, and a clear communicator. Let us know in advance that there would be no toilets, and to make the best of the open-container law by hitting up a pub around the corner before the tour started. The way he tells stories and engages the group - you feel at ease, and scared, and informed, all at once. He encouraged questions, and reiterated that he has much more content, but that he's only touching the surface to ensure that he talked about everything he needed to. At the end of the tour, he even gave us copies of his new book - Savannah Shadows - to fill in the storytelling gaps he couldn't hit on. Highly recommend! read more

I took the Midnight Tour (18+) and had Tobias as the tour guide with my travelling buddy in the South. The tour and what you see largely depends on the number of people there as well as what Tobias is feeling. if you want a unique experience, don't go Fridays or Saturdays. The information was disturbing (exorcisms, dead children, cemeteries etc.), it was awesome entertainment! Tobias really knows how to tell stories. It's a great history tour about the most haunted city in America, and definitely worth seeing. read more

Yea, I was creeped out by the end of the night... checking over my shoulders to make sure there weren't any ghost children or boo hags following me. And let's just say the playground by the Bonaventure Cemetery is simply the creepiest thing ever... Prior to this tour, I truly did not know that Savannah was so haunted. But now, I am convinced that it is one of the spookiest places in the U.S.. After doing my research on a number of Savannah ghost tours, I decided to book the Uncensored Zombies Tour with Blue Orb Tours. We got a small discount as first time customers, which I really liked. Also, this tour in particular does not allow children, which made me feel like they would up the ante in the fright department and perhaps drop a F-bomb every here and there. Cool beans. I really enjoyed walking around to the different haunted sites in Savannah. Our guide was very knowledgeable and though it was his first time, he did a great job. I liked the evidence he provided, which was actually pretty creepy. You can tell that the guides are true believers in the paranormal, which I believe makes for a better and more genuine tour. read more

CREEPY. Around Halloween, I much prefer stuff like this as opposed to getting chased around a fake haunted house by a guy with a scary mask. I liked 3 main things about it. 1. The air of authenticity, and that the guides seem to take the paranormal seriously, if for no other reason than it helps you suspend YOUR skepticism for a few hours. 2. The guide spoke loudly for everyone to hear and was pretty entertaining. 3. Enough, but not too much walking. Bad: no zombies mentioned, and the price was the MOST I was willing to pay for this sort of thing. read more

Midnight Zombie Tour was very informative and fun!! Adam was knowledgeable and interacted well with the group. Got a picture of an Orb on a bench and what looks like a face in a window. Tour gave me chills. Highly Recommend Blue Orb Midnight Zombie Tour. read more

I am a paranormal enthusiast, and I have been pretty much since I was 5. This tour terrified me and my boyfriend. If you are difficult to scare and want to be scared, this tour is definitely for you. read more

We only had one day to play in Savannah, and given it was Friday the thirteenth it was only appropriate we did a ghost tour for one of America's most haunted cities. We chose the zombie tour (which the name should be changed as the zombie term is really not fitting), but we were sold as it was listed as an 18 and up crowd / no spawn allowed tour. The starting point was a little questionable ("by the benches"at Chippewa square ....Except there's like 20 benches around the square....); I'd recommend a more definite spot or something more obvious as there were many people out and about when we happened to go. Nonetheless l we found our guy- Adam! Adam was friendly and informative; he did a great job with his historic story telling and keeping the crowd engaged. I also commend him on handling certain situations very well (obnoxious drunk girl with persistent questioning, random children running around our group, moochers trying to join in for free, etc); professional yet comical. The historical occurrences and creepy pictures give just the right amount of chills down the spine - not on the super cheesy side, but not enough to give you night terrors. Also the open container policy to permit walking the street with your drink adds a nice edge (although keep in mind there are no particular stops where you can get a refill, nor where you can pee)! Overall we enjoyed the tour and guide very much; I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about Savannah's darker secrets while having a nice evening walk around some very old houses :P read more

I went on the Zombie Walk with Tobias while in Savannah for my mother's birthday. I was beyond happy with the entire walk. Tobias has some great stories and is definitely the perfect tour guide. I've taken many tours throughout the world the past few years an this is definitely one I will always remember. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not (my dad being one of them) you will still enjoy this walk. Tobias is very informative and was happy to answer everyone's questions. There are some great photo ops and amazing stories. Would definitely recommend to everyone interested in Savannah. Doing some research online before coming, I saw that there were many companies offering ghost tours, haunted tours, etc...Not one single regret for deciding on Tobias an the Blue Orb Tours read more

The 10 pm adult "zombie" tour lists all sorts of interesting phenomena - zombies, hags, shadow people, bone collectors, reverse exorcisms. But it turned out to be an ordinary ghost tour. Disappointing. Brandon was personable and reasonably well informed about ghosts, but didn't make the stories scary. read more

I was really excited to try this tour but was left wanting more. I felt like I had done a lot of research on the best tour of haunted places so I was a little disappointed. I think part of the problem is that our tour group was huge and therefore hard for our one guide to control. I'm not sure why they let the group get so large. It was hard to follow the guide and very hard to hear at times. We did a lot of walking/touring which was great but the overall experience of the tour and the content was not great and I wish I had booked something more intimate. read more

I can't say what hasn't been said before! Really great experience. I've taken a handful of ghost/history tours in a few cities (Savannah a few times, New Orleans, Charleston) and I've had my share of the really riveting ones and the sleepy ones, but this tour with Topher as our guide was one of the best, if not thee best I've encountered so far. The stories he told us from that night are still on my mind and they've even made my husband question whether or not he believes in the paranomal (used to be an "I don't know" to more of a "Yes"). This was fueled by the footage, EVPs and photos Topher provided on the tour, which no one else has done so far. It was by far the most interesting, engaging, and, if you're into this stuff, hair-raising tour I've been on. I learned information that I had never heard before about this great little city, and it was my third visit! Topher himself is pretty great. As a theater major, he's very much a people person with a personality just right for this kind of job. I'd go on this one again in a heartbeat. If you are in Savannah and this stuff is up your alley, you're doing a disservice to yourself if you don't check out Blue Orb tours to learn about Savannah. Go! Now! read more

Topher was great! First off, he, and company, uses historically relavent data and eyewitnessed accounts of haunted Savannah. Second, he is super excited, in an infectously awesome geeky history teacher way, about ALL his stories. Third, he uses pictoral reference as well as oracle. I mean come on! pictures WITH ghost stories?! Forth, and my favorite, he talks to the group as if he has some insider info, that until yesterday, only true Savannah natives knew this info. Fifth, you can take a beer with you! Sixth, he gives you time for questions and pictures. Lastly, he is a naturally loud speaker. At one point, we dallied behind, but I still heard him 15ft away (and I'm almost deaf)! Cons: We, 30ish year olds, multiple haunted city tour travelers, got a little scared (a picture is worth a thousand words, and I don't even believe in ghosts!)- we had worry dreams all night, both of us. Also, don't forget your walking shoes - tour lasts 2 hours, but we only stopped at 5 places - so many more to see! We need to book the other tours! read more

Midnight tour worth every penny. My wife and I have never been on a paranormal tour before and although we were somewhat skeptical Tobias our leader for the night made a compelling case. We were in a group of eighteen on a Thursday night and were a little apprehensive about a walking tour but to our delight we had plenty of other companions to go on this historical ghost / paranormal hunt! The stories are compelling and Tobias has a great way about him. Spend your time and your money. Awesome! read more

This is the only Savanna ghost tour I have been on so I have no frame of reference. My girlfriend and I took the 8pm zombie tour last week. We tried to go on the 10:30pm tour instead, but it had already sold out. The 8pm tour meant that it started while it was still light out, which was a bit of a bummer. Being July in Georgia, even after it had gotten dark, it was still so hot that we were sweating. The other thing that was kind of a bummer was that our tour contained at least 25 other people in it because it was accidentally over booked by almost 10 people. Those were really the only things bad about this tour. What we wanted out of the tour was to learn the history about some of Savanna's haunted locations, and we did. Basically the tour is just going to a few different stops and having someone tell you a story about each one. The stories were creepy and full of history, but there isn't much of a scary aspect about it since you aren't actually going inside of the locations. The locations are privately owned so we aren't able to go into them, but of course, it definitely would have made this tour (or any tour) a lot better. Overall, I was pleased with the history I learned about the locations and about the city. Our tour guide was Adam and he was well informed on each stop. read more

we went with Adam on one of the most humid nights possible. Adam was whitty,sweet, and very informative. He captivated us with his stories and photos while we strolled through the beautiful scenery. His tour was not only historical but creepy and definitely a must do. read more

Great tour led by Danny. Perfect balance of history and hauntings. Sound clips and photos added to the eerie atmosphere of Savannah at night. Highly recommend! read more

Blue Orb Tours - A creepy face in the middle (first floor) window! The demon house on Abercorn Street. - Tours Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Gosh, I really liked the tour guide and I took my fiancé, parents and future in-laws here bc I did this tour about 5-6 years ago when I lived in Savannah and LOVED it. The "names" of the tour has changed but I'm sad to say, so has the experience. Lots of electronic pictures. Meh. Walked by the Abercorn house, no back story about why it's haunted...what?!? This is like where all the trolleys stop! This place deserves a creepy back story! More walking than a tour and maybe it has to do with the large group. Honestly, the tour guide was nice and funny, but 20 or more people is a lot. Should be 12-13 max. It was just too many people. I've done at least 4 ghost tours in Savannah (from different companies) and about 2 more in other places and I was not impressed with this one on this day. The first Time I did this tour (I think with Tobias), years ago, it's was a 4-5 Stars...I'm sad to say this one was a 2. Sorry, I wouldn't do it again. I know it has killer reviews but I'm not sure why, unless we came on an off night. read more

Brandon was great. This was a really fun evening and Savannah was lovely by night. The stories were interesting and the historical background was interesting! This is another fun way to see the city. Highly recommend! read more

Ghost tours are a must when in Savannah. Blue Orb exceeded my expectations for a Savannah ghost tour and had me checking the closet before bed! I forget the name of our guide but she was great. The vast knowledge she had of the city's history was incredible. We toured several locations around the city and ended at the Mercer House accompanied by a hair-raising tale. I would recommend Blue Orb to anyone visiting Savannah. The tour was educational, frightening, and fun. read more

This should be categorized as a "History of things that happened in Savannah tour" rather than a "Ghost Tour." Snooze fest. I expected way better for Savannah. Instead it was probably the most boring tour I've been on. Host was funny, but I wanted creep, not sleep. read more

One of the highlights of our trip. Our tour guide, Adam, was knowledgable and fun. He was even able to squeeze in a few bonus haunts onto the tour. It was a great way to see some of the historic spots in town while learning some history you won't hear on the other tours. I'm knocking off a star because the tour guide was dressed in plain clothes so it wasn't clear he even worked for the company at first. You meet at a statue in one of the squares and are supposed to check in with him, which we didn't know at first. The email we were sent confirming things wasn't clear on what to do once we go there. It seems like you could just walk up and participate on the tour and no one would even know you hadn't paid. There are other tours there, too, which adds to the confusion. read more

Adam was our tour guide and he did a fantastic job! He was funny, but also provided so much information and fun facts about the places we visited. This was our first ghost tour and it was a great experience. It is a two hour walking tour -- wear sensible shoes. We also opted for an adult only tour. There were about 15 people in our group, but Adam made sure everyone could hear everything he said and see every picture he had. We left feeling sufficiently spooked. Super fun. read more

We were in town for the day and decided to stick around for some spooky fun! The tour was very informative and had some cool stories about the history of Savannah told by our guide Adam! He was great! Definitely recommend this as a part of your southern experience in Savannah read more

This tour is so much fun! Adam was our guide, and he is an excellent storyteller! The history behind all of the stops were so interesting, and Adam told the stories in a way that made them both spooky and entertaining at the same time! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Savannah. We took this picture last night at 432 Abercorn. read more

Blue Orb Tours - A figure in the upper, middle window. 432 Abercorn October 10th, 2019 - Tours Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

My husband and I took the midnight zombies tour on May 28th. This was our second ghost tour of the weekend, and the other one didn't even begin to compare. The guide (Tobias) was good, the sites were really interesting, and the information provided was thorough. The tour was pricey, but worth it in comparison to the cheaper tours we took. We would definitely go with this tour group again - in cooler weather, and not on a holiday weekend! The downsides: It was so hot outside that at times it was hard to concentrate on the stories because of the discomfort. I was pregnant and the tour lasted two hours. At most of the sites there was someplace to sit, even if they weren't real seats (walls, steps, etc.). We went on a holiday weekend and at least 30 people were on the tour. We felt it should have been limited to less than 20. read more

My wife and I took the zombie tour and loved it. It's not the cheapest in town for a ghost tour, but I think you get what you pay for. This tour is worth the money. Perfect length, perfect storys, and perfect storytelling. I had a problem purchasing tickets and had to email the owner, Tobias. Hw helped me out right away. He seems like a very respectful person that cares about his company, and his name. I would try out any tours he has next time I come to Savannah. read more

We did a lot of research before choosing Blue Orb tour and we ended up doing the zombie tour. The name is not really appropriate and just a marketing move to differentiate from the competitors. Our tour guide was Brendan. He was actually very nice but we didn't engage with him. We have to say that in the morning we had another tour at the cemetery and the guide was so good and enchanted that he is hard to bit and he makes other good guides sound not so good. Overall the tour was ok but nothing special. read more

WOW!!! Adam got me and the missus sorted out with some real spooky stuff on our tour last night! It was real fun and spooky and we were hoping we would see some ghosts or gremlins or something and I think I got a picture of one that I will put up with this review. Ok then..... read more

My family and I went on a tour and it was wonderful. Adam was our tour guide, and he went above and beyond to make the experience everything we could have expected. Would highly recommend! read more

Creepy (but awesome) tour! We did a lot of research before picking this tour & we were really happy with the result. It was a small, intimidate group and we were really able to hear the stories and ask questions. Beware: May result in a sleepless night with the light on in fear of having attached a demon & taken it to the hotel. read more

For $25 this tour is well worth the time and money. The tour guide (Adam) was very informative not only about ghost and paranormal activity in the area but also general history of Savannah. Learned a ton of info about the city and it was a joy to walk around and see some of the oldest and most haunted homes in America. Would suggest this tour to anyone interested in ghost or history. read more

This tour was a blast. We did the adult only tour at 10pm. Our tour guide was great and very informative. He was entertaining, but it didn't feel like we were watching a stage act. I also appreciated the amount of general Savannah history he shared throughout the tour as well. The only critique I would make is that it would be nice if there was a break during the tour to use the bathroom and get a drink. read more

Excellent tour. Went to Savannah for side trip and thought this would be great fun. I was not mistaken, the guide was witty, fun, and had some great ghost stories. It's mild enough for older children who like ghost stories. Also the guide seemed to stick to facts and not embellish stories. read more

Blue Orb Tours - Tours Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

It's supposed to be a "Ghost Tour". Nothing spooky about it. Our guide Melissa was very knowledgeable about the history of Savannah and all of the tragic events that have occurred there since it's founding. But this tour is a lot of walking. I am guessing 2-3 miles at least. At $20 each, it should give you more drama. I think I would pay up for the riding tour if I could do it again. read more

First off this is my favorite ghost tour I've ever taken. Secondly I did the zombie tour, which is quite long, with a broken toe. I totally forgot all the pain in my toe and was completely focused on the stories, history and sites we were taken to. The tour group was rather large but everyone did a great job of not interrupting the guide, Topher. He did a fantastic job and made sure everyone could hear or see the photos or videos he was showing. He didn't add any dramatic theatrics, or try to purposely spook us. To me that is very important. I don't want a cheesy experience when I can just go see a movie and spook myself out. He was very well spoken and his voice carried. I would take the tour two nights in a row! I'm thoroughly creeped out by Savannah now! read more

We enjoyed every bit of our tour! We did the 10pm tour and Adam was great at sharing stories, history and answering questions on our tour. We had a large group, but he made sure everyone was listening and could hear him. His respect for the group as well as the residents in the community really stood out; by making sure we were out of ear-shot of a reaidence or other groups. He wasn't LOUD like another tour guide I saw that also used a flashlight to point at a house-that guy was not cool! Adam is Super cool & I highly recommend the Blue Orb Ghost tour!! I got a weird face in a photo at the creepiest house on the tour. I'd do it again! read more

Wanted to do a ghost tour since I know Savannah is the most haunted city, found blue orbs name coming up everywhere and had great reviews. So I decided this one was it. We did the zombies tour (adults only) and Danny was our tour guide. It was 5 stars for sure! Danny has the perfect personality for the tour and is extremely friendly and outgoing. Definitely felt a lot of what he was saying about the houses and the cemetery and stuff. Would definitely go again! Tons of creepy scary fun! read more
