I searched high and low for a kid-friendly ghost tour in Savannah, and this one was to die for! The reviews were spot on--Chanel absolutely spirited us away with the perfect mix of history, humor, and just enough spooky to keep everyone boo-tifully entertained. She was incredibly patient with all the kids' questions and knew the city's haunted history like no one else. The 90-minute, 1.5-mile stroll was easy, grave-ly enjoyable, and stopped often enough to keep little ghosts happy. We did the 8 p.m. tour, which helped beat the heat (well... mostly), plus free parking was a huge bonus. Bring bug spray, water, a fan, maybe a drink from a nearby bar, and prepare for a phantom-tastic evening. This tour is hauntingly good and an absolute must-boo in Savannah. We'd ghost again in a heartbeat! read more

We booked a kid-friendly ghost tour on our recent trip to Savannah. I did a quick google search to see which tour would be best suited for my littles. I read the reviews and decided this was the best. Well the reviews didn't lie! Chanel was absolutely the best story teller with just enough of spooky and humor. She was very knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all the kiddos questions. We all enjoyed the history rich stories and the tour around the squares. I clocked about 1.5 miles total in 90 mins. It was all flat (with some uneven brick/pavement) and very mild speed, stopping every block or so. We did the 8pm tour which was great for free parking in Savannah and cooled off the summer heat, a little! I brought a personal fan, put on bug spray, and brought water. Grab a drink from the nearby bar and enjoy the leisure walk while hearing historical information about each location. I highly recommend this as a must-do while in Savannah! read more

We weren't actually able to attend the "Bloody Murder Tour" we originally booked, so I can't review that specific experience. However, I can share what happened and our overall experience with the company. When I initially booked, I received an email instructing us to meet at Monterey Square. Two days before the tour, I received another email stating the meeting location had changed to The Original Pinkie Masters. We arrived early at that location as instructed, but no one was there. After waiting several minutes, we called the number provided and were told, "We cancelled that tour last week." When I told my fiancé she immediately started crying because this was the main thing she was looking forward too. I'm not sure how the tour could have been cancelled the previous week when I received a confirmation email two days prior, and I had not received any cancellation notice or reimbursement. If we hadn't arrived early and called, we likely would have assumed the tour left without us and missed it entirely. To their credit, the person on the phone was apologetic, refunded us, and directed us to another tour meeting location (which happened to be about a 10-minute walk literally right outside the airbnb we just left...). We joined that group instead and were not charged. As for the tour we ended up on, it was decent but had some noticeable issues. The guide was friendly and engaging, and we did learn some interesting information. However, the pacing and structure felt disorganized. There were several bars scheduled very close together and in one case, we had just ordered a drink and were moving to the next stop within a couple of minutes. On a bar tour, there's some natural pressure to order at each location, and the spacing made it feel rushed and excessive. One of the stops didn't seem to have much of a story attached and was just kind of thrown in there and didn't feel cohesive with the rest of the tour. At one square, the guide spoke next to a loud fountain, which made it difficult to hear most of the story. At another stop, we left while a couple was still inside ordering drinks, which felt awkward and disorganized. Some locations were very crowded, making it difficult to get drinks quickly before moving on so you would've thought we would've have them extra time. The final stop extended well beyond the scheduled time with the tour running about an hour and fifteen minutes over. The guide was telling a story outside a loud karaoke bar, making it hard to hear. By that point, many of us were ready to wrap up although she kept insisting to have a drink with her inside. Sometimes it felt like the point of the tour was to get us to just spend money at the bars instead of giving us a cohesive memorable experience if you can even remember anything after drinking at about 6 different places in 2 hours. Overall, the guide was personable and had some great humor, and the group dynamic was enjoyable. We didn't leave completely disappointed, but the logistical issues and lack of cohesion made it unlikely that we would book with this company again read more

Awesome tour made possible by our guide Rocky who braved the rain and kept her smile in place. Perfectly well paced with 4 bar/bathroom stops.

We did the True Crime tour with Sara. She was wonderful! The stories were very entertaining and the drinks she recommended were all delicious! We will definitely recommend this to our friends and take another tour when we return. read more

I came to Savannah right before I moved here just to get the lay of the land. While I was here I did the "True Crime & Wine Cocktail Tour" We met up at the Tandem Coffee and Spirits. I figured we would just stand outside and start the tour.....little did I know it started there! We went inside and the tour guide introduced us AND we got our first cocktail at the restaurant AND the first story. The best part is the drink was names after our first story. After that I was HOOKED!!!! I am a huge True Crime junkie and I was afraid this tour was going to be cheese and boring but I was wrong! The tour guide was so much fun! She even showed us some behind the scene including some ghost that still hang around. I highly recommend this tour even if you are just visiting but even if you live here!!! read more

True crime pub crawl was a disaster. Conner is a narcissist. Talked about how much he hated the federal government and his views on abortion but not as much focused on true crime. What an unprofessional fool. Tried to get away from him at the last pub and he pulled up a chair and continued about his personal beliefs. Nothing about true crime at all at that point. Worst experience ever. Let me edit this since he and this company owner have lied about me under other reviews. They claim I was just so drunk and out of control the whole tour. If so why did he grab a beer and pull up a chair at the last pub and sit at my table? They claim he had a beer because he was done with the pub crawl. Why would you then sit with someone if they were acting so terribly if your done with your job? Also when I said I was going to write a bad review he spoke for the other couple and said they will write a good one. She was actually crying because of his comments. I have all his comments on tape. And text to people throughout the tour complaining about his political beliefs through the tour and couldn't wait to be done with it. Why would he sit with someone and carry on about his personal beliefs if he thought I was just so drunk the whole time? It literally doesn't even make sense. We came in on one side of the bar and I told my husband we were going to sit on the far side and get away from him. So he was done with the tour, grabbed a drink and followed us to our table to continue carrying on. Why would you continue on this topic if you knew you were upsetting someone? He just escalated it. Must not be used to a woman talking back. Also the owner accused me of changing emails to write more reviews. That is again another lie and I pointed that out to TripAdvisor as they can obviously see I use the same email and account when I review. Not to mention the many pub crawls I have done and reviewed without ever having an issue like this. This business is no good read more

Excellent time on the True Crime Tours last night! Great way to see Savannah at night and to learn the history. Sarah was excellent and highly recommend! read more

My friends and I went on the True Crime and Wine tour in March when we took a trip to Savannah. Megan was our guide and she is amazing! She's very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions we had about the tour. We learned a lot about crime over the years in Savannah and got to see some cool places while we were at it! The bars we stopped at were also really great and we had just enough time at every one to pause for a breather or bathroom break and drinks. It's a plus that in Savannah you're allowed to bring your drinks with you so we weren't rushed at all. This is a great tour to go on, and if you go, I'd highly recommend Megan as your guide! read more

First of all, any time to walk around Savannah is a good time! Add in murder, mystery, and mayhem, and you have truly enjoyable experience!!! Highly recommend Sarah!!! (you can request her and I sincerely recommend you do!) A perfectly spent 2 hours of our vacation! (We also recommend the Irish Breakfast Shot to taste a full breakfast with bacon included!) read more

My family and I attended the True Crime and Wine tour this evening, led by our awesome, knowledgeable, and personable guide, Emily. She knows her stuff, and you can tell that she loves what she's doing. The tour was well worth the money, especially with a free drink, and we loved all of the stories, sights, and the personal touch. Our guide even answered questions unrelated to the tour if we had them--- including information about the city and local recommendations. She is very cool. Emily killed it!! (See what I did there? Someone tell me I'm funny). We stopped at three bars along the way, and ended at a fourth bar. In between, our host treated us to several interesting and sometimes spooky (true) stories that happened in those areas. We walked through the historic district the whole time. If you're in town, looking for a fun and memorable evening, and like fascinating stories of old, you'll love this! read more

Amazing tour!! We enjoyed the strong sense of community on this tour the most. Walking through historic avenues and sipping on local drinks, all the while being entertained with intriguing Savannah true crime. Get ready to laugh, smile, and DRINK! Would repeat for our next trip here! read more

My (newly engaged) fiancé and I went on a ghost tour with Jackie and had hands down the best haunted tour I have ever been on and I'm a fanatic. Her energy and delivery was so amazing and made the tour feel truly unique. She didn't leave any detail our or any stone unturned (lol). We adored our time with her! It rained pretty hard for most of the tour but that didn't delay her or keep her from delivering such an amazing experience. I highly recommend. read more

We went on the Faidy Cat Walking Ghost Tour by Mad Cat Tours in the most haunted city in America AT NIGHT! The only scary things we saw were some drunk people stumbling through traffic because Savannah allows you to drink alcohol on the streets. The tour was very informative but not very scary. Our tour guide was okay. She seemed nervous. Overall, the night out amongst the local was fun and the city was alive with energy. If you do this tour bring your comfortable walking shoes and hope for a better tour guide. read more

Loved our tour with Nina! She kept it spooky but not so spooky that our kid was freaked out. Well worth the money

My family decided to take a trip down to Savannah for New Years and we were looking for something fun to do! We met a waiter whose sister worked as a tour guide and suggested mad cat tours. We decided to take a chance and saw that they had a women's tour of Savannah. Being the feminist that I am, I booked the tour immediately for my mom and my little cousin! Thank god we did! To start, we had Kerry As our tour guide and he was AMAZING. He was incredibly knowledgeable and just plain excited about the history, which in turn, made us so excited! I learned so much on this tour, and because we were alone on the tour, we were able to ask as many questions as we wanted (to which Kerry had all the answers! ) and it felt so personal! He even extended the tour a little because we were all so excited about it! I would suggest this tour to anyone who comes down to Savannah! It was the best tour we took down there. We are still talking about it even weeks later! I learned things that I could not believe! The women of Savannah were pretty bad ass! My friends and I are planning a trip and I plan to get tickets in advance! This is a must do tour!!!! read more

I got to do the true crime pub crawl and had the best time ever, Rocky gave the best in depth tour I've been on as of yet and she really gets you in the scene of each and every stop, she's so friendly and has a lot of knowledge on the city read more

Tour guide Kerry was enthusiastic and seemed genuinely interested in sharing the history of Savannah. I was the only one booked for a walking tour on a Thursday, and appreciated his willingness to still provide the tour. I learned many fascinating and somewhat hidden historical details about the city. Definitely recommend! read more

We were in Savannah for a 40 & 60 birthday party and did the Wine and Crime tour! Our guide's name was Conner and he was awesome! So much fun!!! Walking pub crawl talking about true Savannah crime! Thank you! read more

My family and I went on a haunted tour with the amazing and knowledgeable Kerry and had the best time walking around the historic district at night! We learned so much about Savannah's past-- things that you probably wouldn't learn in another tour. A huge thank you to Kerry for answering all of our questions and not making us feel rushed along. This is such an important part of a tour to me. We could take this tour again and again! We can't wait to come back and refer all of our family and friends to Mad Cat! read more

We participated in the Bad Kitty Haunted Bar Crawl and had Lori as our tour guide. She was so knowledgeable and fun, she's a very animated storyteller who knows how to keep a group engaged. Every bar we went to was a great time, Lori had great drink recommendations, and let us all take our time in getting drinks and enjoying the atmosphere at each bar. One bar on the crawl is not open to the general public, it is only open to a few tour companies, and we had a very enjoyable experience being the only group inside. Our final destination was a small speakeasy that had very few guests and was quite an enjoyable place to end our night. Lori was the highlight of our trip to Savannah! We cannot say enough about her! Would love to come back and do another tour with her! read more

BEST. TOUR. IN. SAVANNAH. Hands down. We had Valentyne Dust as a tour guide. She was lovely, eccentric, animated... all the key personality traits for an awesome tour guide for TRUE WINE AND CRIME in Savannah. Not only was she personable with everyone on the tour getting us interacting with each other, but she was friendly and spoke so highly of bartenders and other tour guides in the city. The confidence to build others up is such an inviting characteristic in today's society. GREAT JOB VALENTYN read more

My husband and I took the Hell Cat Ghost Tour while in town. Rocky was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about each stop and it was so interesting. I could have walked around all night listening to her tell about Savannah's twisted past. If we had had more time, we would have done another tour, however our visit did not allow. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves a good ghost story or would like to know more about the darker side of Savannah. We were given lots of opportunities for pictures and to ask questions. Rocky really was a great tour guide and shared so many details about the history of Savannah. We loved it! read more

Great way to see Savannah. Our guide Connor was so entertaining and knowledgeable. He asked questions of the crowd and used that to make the tour even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!! read more

Our tour guide Connor was fantastic! He was very chill and had amazing story telling abilities. Our group was just us for a girls trip and he was respectful and could tell he genuinely loved what he did. Couldn't recommend enough! read more

For a group of people that aren't particularly in love with history and starting early in the morning we came out of this tour wanting more!! We had tour guide Kerry, and wouldn't want to see Savannah any other way! He made the tour so exciting and engaging and was so enthusiastic about the history of Savannah! He was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions with ease and thorough knowledge. He made a tour group that wasn't super into history really engaged and thoroughly enjoyed our morning with him. This tour is a must with Kerry for anyone who doesn't love history because he makes it come to life! He doesn't focus on mundane facts and dates. He makes you feel like you were a member of the Savannah community throughout the tour. We all think he should be a high school history teacher because we felt we learned more from him in the two hours we were with him than from any textbook! Another review from our group: Kerry, I believe we are all now applying for doctoral studies of Georgian History after your tour. Or maybe we shouldn't because the historians would make history too stuffy! You brought the characters to life with insight and humor. Thanks for the incredibly interesting tour and making us forget about Savannah's sweltering heat. 10/10 would go on a tour with him again on our next trip! read more
