Savannah gets stranger after sunset. This two-hour walk blends ghost stories, old city squares, and up to four local pubs, giving you a lively way to see the Historic District at night. I especially like the freedom to buy only what you want at each bar, and the mix of Savannah history with tales of hauntings. The main caution is that the balance can shift: some guides focus heavily on history and pub advice, while others deliver the creepy storytelling promised by the name.

At $30 per person, the tour is fairly priced if you want both a guided walk and a few carefully chosen bar stops. It is best for adults who enjoy a social night out, can manage about two hours on foot, and do not need every story to end with a ghostly punchline. Guides such as Pierce, Andre, and Kelly have earned particular praise for their warmth, local knowledge, and storytelling.

Key points to know before you book

Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah's Historic District - Key points to know before you book

  • Four pub stops are possible: You have time to buy drinks, use restrooms, and look around each bar, but alcohol is not included.
  • Colonial Park Cemetery is viewed from the gate: The route includes stories about the cemetery and Button Gwinnett, but it does not promise entry.
  • The guide makes the night: Pierce, Andre, and Kelly have been praised for history, drink suggestions, humor, and local tips.
  • The ghost content can vary: Some outings lean strongly toward paranormal tales, while others feel closer to a pub and Savannah history walk.
  • You finish at Wright Square: The ending is about a five-minute walk from the start, at another local bar or historic square.
  • Expect a real city walk: Wear comfortable shoes, especially in hot weather, and remember that the group may include as many as 20 people.

Starting at Six Pence Pub on Bull Street

Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah's Historic District - Starting at Six Pence Pub on Bull Street

The evening begins at Six Pence Pub, at 245 Bull Street. This gives you a clear meeting point in the Historic District, and the tour then moves through Savannah’s squares, streets, bars, and spooky sites rather than keeping you in one neighborhood corner.

The mobile ticket is convenient, and confirmation arrives when you book. You must be at least 21, which makes sense for a tour built around pubs. Service animals are allowed, and most people can take part, although you should be comfortable walking for about two hours.

The group can reach 20 people. That is small enough for a guide to keep the route together, but large enough that the experience may feel less intimate than a private ghost walk. A large or noisy group can also make it harder to hear a long story, especially on a public sidewalk.

Your guide sets the tone from the start. The strongest guides seem to combine local history, paranormal stories, and practical bar advice without making the evening feel like a lecture. Pierce has been praised for answering questions and suggesting places to eat and visit later in your trip. Andre has received similar praise for patience, humor, and an animated presentation. Kelly is noted for making the storytelling interactive and fun.

Walking through Savannah’s squares after dark

Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah's Historic District - Walking through Savannah’s squares after dark

The route takes you through Savannah’s historic streets and city squares, with stops at haunted or spooky locations along the way. This is one of the better features of the experience. You are not simply being driven from one bar to another. The walk lets you see the city’s nighttime character while your guide explains the events and legends attached to particular places.

I like this format because the setting does much of the work. Savannah’s old squares and historic buildings provide a natural backdrop for ghost stories. You can also carry a drink as you walk, making the transition between stops feel casual rather than tightly scheduled.

The tradeoff is pace. A guide who tells long stories at every stop can make the tour feel slow. Some accounts describe too much time spent on general history, personal anecdotes, or jokes, with too little attention to hauntings. If you want a fast-moving ghost hunt with one eerie story after another, this may not always satisfy.

The best approach is to think of the tour as a social history walk with paranormal material, not as a serious investigation of supernatural activity. You will hear stories about local spirits and haunted places, but no equipment, evidence session, or guaranteed encounter is part of the experience.

Colonial Park Cemetery and the Button Gwinnett story

Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah's Historic District - Colonial Park Cemetery and the Button Gwinnett story

One of the most important stops is Colonial Park Cemetery, described as Savannah’s oldest burial ground. The group pauses outside the gate while the guide explains the cemetery and tells the story of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and one of its most famous residents.

This stop gives the evening a useful historical anchor. It connects Savannah’s ghost lore to real people and events rather than treating every old building as a haunted attraction. If you enjoy history, this part can add meaning to the walk.

You should set your expectations carefully. The tour pauses at the cemetery gate, and entry is not promised. Some people expect to walk among the graves or spend more time inside the burial ground, so this can feel limited if the cemetery is your main reason for booking.

You may bring a camera and try to catch orbs or other unusual images. The tour does not promise that you will photograph anything supernatural. Think of the camera as a playful extra, not part of the paid service.

The pub stops: local atmosphere with drinks on your own

Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah's Historic District - The pub stops: local atmosphere with drinks on your own

The advertised route includes up to four Savannah pubs and bars. At each stop, you have time to purchase a drink and use the restroom. The tour price covers the guided walk, not alcohol, food, or any other purchase.

That separate payment is useful. You can choose beer, a cocktail, a soft drink, or nothing at all. You are not forced to spend more simply because the route includes bars. For people who prefer to pace themselves, this is a real advantage.

The bar selection is part of the experience, not just a place to refill a glass. The stops are described as quirky, historic, and local, and several guides have been praised for suggesting drinks that suit each place. Pierce, in particular, received praise for drink recommendations and for explaining what to see and eat elsewhere in Savannah.

Still, this is not a reserved tasting tour. You should not expect included drinks, a private table, or a formal sample at every pub. Depending on the group and the evening, the guide may lead you to the bar but not enter every establishment with you. That detail matters because some people expect the guide to escort the group inside and stay involved at each stop.

The pub part is strongest when you enjoy conversation, local atmosphere, and the chance to try a few places in one evening. If you do not drink, you can still join, but the value depends more heavily on the walking route and stories.

How much ghost story do you really get?

Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah's Historic District - How much ghost story do you really get?

This is the key question. The tour title promises a creepy crawl, but the actual mix can vary by guide.

The most successful version combines Savannah’s past with stories of spirits, murders, poltergeists, and reported activity at local sites. The guide’s delivery matters as much as the subject. An animated storyteller can make a familiar cemetery tale feel fresh, while a long explanation of local history may feel flat if you came for scares.

Some guides have been praised for knowing both Savannah’s past and its current bar scene. That combination makes the tour useful beyond the two-hour walk. You can ask where to eat, which bars are worth another visit, and what local places fit your interests the next day.

The less successful version becomes a general history lesson with only a few ghost stories. Several accounts describe weak paranormal content, lengthy lectures, too many jokes, or a route that felt repetitive. One complaint noted seeing Colonial Park Cemetery twice, which suggests the route can feel less efficient if the group spends too long in one area.

Language and professionalism are also worth considering. Some outings have been praised as polished and welcoming, but a few accounts describe guides who appeared intoxicated, used too much profanity, or failed to complete the full route. Those reports are serious because the guide controls both the pace and the atmosphere. They also show why this experience is not equally strong every night.

I would book it if you like a flexible night walk with a chance of good ghost storytelling. I would choose another tour if your main goal is a tightly scripted, intensely spooky presentation.

Walking comfort, weather, and the end at Wright Square

Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah's Historic District - Walking comfort, weather, and the end at Wright Square

The tour lasts about two hours, and the route is outdoors. Comfortable shoes are a must. Savannah’s summer heat can make an evening walk tiring, and one account specifically noted that a hot July night affected the experience even though the stops were enjoyable.

The tour requires good weather. If poor weather cancels it, you can receive a full refund or move to another date. A minimum number of participants is also required, so the operator may offer another date or experience if the outing does not run.

The route ends at Wright Square, with the final location described as another local bar or historic square about five minutes from the starting point. Ask the guide for directions or help arranging transport if you need it. Ending near another bar gives you an easy chance to continue the night, but you should not assume the final venue is the same as the meeting point.

The walk is manageable for most people, but the tour is not ideal if you need frequent seated breaks or want to avoid uneven city streets. The supplied information says most people can participate, but it does not promise a fully accessible route.

What $30 buys you in Savannah

Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah's Historic District - What $30 buys you in Savannah

At $30, you are paying for a two-hour guided experience, access to a planned route, and an introduction to up to four pubs. You are not paying for drinks or food, so your final cost depends on what you buy along the way.

The value is strongest when you would otherwise spend the evening wandering from bar to bar without knowing which places fit the mood. A good guide adds local context, points out haunted sites, and gives recommendations you can use for the rest of your stay.

The value is weaker if you want a long cemetery visit, included beverages, or a high number of supernatural stories. You can walk through many of Savannah’s streets on your own, and some of the public history is visible without a guide. The tour earns its price through storytelling and route planning, not through admission to a special attraction.

A group of up to 20 people also affects the value. You receive a shared experience rather than a private guide. For couples seeking a quiet, intimate evening, the group may feel busy. For friends, bachelor or bachelorette groups, and social couples, the larger format may be part of the fun.

Who will enjoy this pub crawl most?

Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah's Historic District - Who will enjoy this pub crawl most?

I would recommend this tour to:

  • Adults who want a night activity that combines walking, drinks, and local stories.
  • First-time visitors who want an introduction to Savannah’s squares, bars, and historic sites.
  • Friends who enjoy a relaxed group outing rather than a formal museum-style tour.
  • People who like choosing their own drinks and spending only what they want.
  • History fans who are happy with a mix of real events and ghost lore.
  • Anyone who wants guide recommendations for food, drinks, and sightseeing afterward.

I would be more cautious if you want a frightening, tightly focused ghost tour. The experience may contain only a small amount of paranormal material, depending on the guide and the evening. I would also avoid booking it if you dislike bar-centered activities, outdoor walking, or strong language.

The guide is the biggest variable. Pierce, Andre, and Kelly have each been praised for friendly, engaging presentations. At the same time, isolated accounts describe poor professionalism and unfinished routes. That does not make the tour an automatic no, but it is a reason to keep your expectations sensible.

Booking details and cancellation terms

The experience costs $30 per person, is offered in English, and uses a mobile ticket. It is often booked about 14 days ahead, so reserving in advance is sensible if your Savannah dates are fixed.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes inside that window are not refunded or accepted. If bad weather or low participation cancels the tour, you can choose another date or request a full refund.

The tour does not provide souvenir koozies, despite an inaccurate reference to them elsewhere in the booking information. That has no effect on the walk itself, but it is worth clearing up if you are expecting a keepsake.

Should you book the Creepy Crawl?

Book it if you want a flexible Savannah night out with four possible pub stops, city-square scenery, and a mix of history and ghost stories. The $30 price is fair when the guide is engaging and you plan to buy a drink or two anyway.

Skip it if you want a pure ghost tour, a cemetery entry, or a polished theatrical production. For the best chance of enjoying it, wear comfortable shoes, arrive ready for a group walk, keep your drink budget separate, and treat the paranormal stories as part of Savannah’s folklore rather than a promise of proof. This tour is most successful when you want a good local evening first and a serious scare second.
