Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl Walking Tour
Book on Viator →Operated by Ghost City Tours · Bookable on Viator
Savannah ghosts meet pub-night vibes. On this Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl walking tour, you get an adults-only guided route that includes Colonial Park Cemetery and spooky stories tied to Savannah’s landmarks and architecture. It’s a fun way to see more of town without planning every step yourself.
I especially like the mix of city walking and real place-based storytelling, so the sights feel connected rather than random bar hopping. I also like that you’re not stuck doing one long thing at one stop, since the tour is paced across multiple locations for about 2 hours.
One key consideration is group size. Even though the tour caps at 30, some nights feel crowded enough that you may struggle to hear every detail, and you’ll want to spend on drinks yourself since alcohol is not included.

Quick hits before you go

- Colonial Park Cemetery stop: one of Savannah’s most talked-about historic grounds is built into the route (with admission ticket not included).

Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl: how the night is set up
This is a straightforward, adults-only walking tour built around Savannah’s idea of fun after dark: historic streets, old buildings, and a guide who connects the dots with spooky local stories. The structure matters here. You’re not just paying for a few haunts. You’re buying a guided plan that helps you move through Savannah’s historic core without wasting time figuring out where to go next.
The tour is listed at about 2 hours and it’s offered in English. You’ll have a mobile ticket, and you’ll be with a group that can run up to 30 people. That’s a big factor for your comfort, since pub crawls are louder by nature, and Savannah sidewalks aren’t wide.
Price-wise, $34.99 per person is mainly paying for the guide and the walking route. Drinks are not included, and the cemetery stop specifically notes that the admission ticket isn’t included. So think of the headline price as your base cost, then budget extra for alcohol if you want it and for cemetery admission.

Price and logistics: where the value really comes from

At $34.99 for roughly two hours, the value is best if you want guided context while you’re walking. If you’re the type who enjoys hearing why a building matters, how an old street got its name, or what makes certain locations feel eerie after dark, this tour pays off.
If your priority is cheap drinks or lots of bar time, you may feel less satisfied. Even people who loved the tour often pointed out that time at stops can vary, and some nights can involve slower pacing while everyone gets inside and orders.
Also, pay attention to the stated route flow. The official ending point is McDonough’s Restaurant & Lounge, but there have been moments where groups reported ending elsewhere, like 17Hundred90. That doesn’t necessarily mean something went wrong, but it’s a good reminder to set your evening plan with a little flexibility.
The start at Churchill’s Pub: meeting point and first stories

Your night begins at Churchill’s, at 13 W Bay St in downtown Savannah. The meetup spot is the Kings Guard Statue next to the Churchill’s entrance, and you should expect about a short wait while the group gathers.
This first stop is set up like a warm-up scene. Churchill’s is where you settle into the mood, get your bearings, and hear the opening stories that tie the crawl together. It’s also a practical advantage: starting at a well-known venue helps you avoid that awkward hunt for a meeting spot on a busy street.
One more real-world tip: this is a walking tour. Wear shoes that handle uneven pavement and curb cuts. People have said the walking is manageable, but the comfort comes from good footwear, not from luck.
Stop 2: Factor’s Walk and the “between buildings” feeling

Next you head to Factor’s Walk, one of the more atmospheric corners of downtown Savannah. The tour frames it as a darker passageway bordered by old structures, where the street feels tucked in rather than open.
Why this stop works: it changes the mood from a typical bar crawl loop into something more like a guided stroll through a cinematic setting. Factor’s Walk is narrow enough that the guide’s voice and your position in the group matter more. If the group is large, you’ll want to position yourself so you’re not stuck behind tall shoulders or blocked by people waiting to order.
This stop is also where you can decide how you want to experience the night. If you want photos, do them quickly before the group moves. If you want maximum story time, stand where you can actually hear, not where the best shot is.
Stop 3: 17Hundred90 Inn and the haunted-hotel vibe

After Factor’s Walk, the crawl moves to 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant. This is presented as one of Savannah’s older hotels, and the stories here focus on a haunting tied to a heartbroken woman.
Hotels make an easy haunted subject because of all the sensory cues you already notice: old wood, aged interiors, and the way a lobby feels different from a street corner. Even if you’re skeptical, it’s a strong match for the pub crawl format because the guide can connect the haunting to the building’s age and long presence in Savannah.
Timing here is set for about 20 minutes at the stop. That’s usually enough to hear the story and take a breath, but not enough to linger all night like a casual bar hang. If you’re traveling with friends and want a more relaxed experience, plan to keep expectations aligned with the group pace.
Stop 4: The Marshall House and Civil War hospital stories

The next venue is The Marshall House, part of the Historic Inns of Savannah. The tour turns it into a far more serious tale by pointing to the building’s Civil War hospital past and the suffering tied to that use.
This stop is where the tour’s balance really shows. The night isn’t only about jumpy ghost vibes. It also leans on historical context—how places were repurposed over time, and how that layering can shape what a building feels like after dark.
There’s about 20 minutes at this stop. If you’ve ever been on a pub crawl where the group rushes through everything, you’ll appreciate that the guide has time to tell a coherent story. If you’ve been on tours where everyone talks at once, you’ll still want to keep a spot where you can hear.
Stop 5: Colonial Park Cemetery, the big draw (with admission extra)

Colonial Park Cemetery is the crown jewel stop on the route. This is one of Savannah’s oldest and most haunted grounds, and the tour highlights how the cemetery has faced disruption and dark historical events over centuries.
One key practical point: the cemetery stop is listed with admission ticket not included. So while your $34.99 gets you the guide and the visit as part of the walk, you’ll need to handle the cemetery admission separately.
Also, don’t treat this stop like a quick roadside photo moment. People who want the spooky part tend to care most about this location, and it’s worth giving your full attention. If you care about the cemetery stop, confirm the plan on the day of your tour and arrive ready to follow the group quickly.
A final thought: cemetery stops can be emotionally intense if you go all-in on the atmosphere. If that’s your style, good. If you’d rather keep things light, you can still enjoy it—just let the guide steer you and stay aware of your footing.
Stop 6: McDonough’s Restaurant & Lounge and the night’s finish

The tour is set to end at McDonough’s Restaurant & Lounge at 21 E Mc Donough St. The final stop is where the crawl wraps up with one last round of stories and a last chance to grab a drink if you want.
The tone here is more conversational and closer to a classic pub ending. The haunting angle stays present, but it becomes about what the night has built toward: a sense that you’ve walked through real Savannah spaces that have had plenty of human history.
People have noted that guides manage safety and keep the group together, which matters most near the end when everyone is tired, a little buzzed (if they’re drinking), and getting ready to split off.
Group size and pacing: what to expect on busy nights
The tour max is 30 travelers, and that’s a sweet spot and a problem spot at the same time. When your group is smaller, the guide can read the room and you can hear stories clearly. When you’re near capacity, you’ll likely feel that in two ways: sound level and how quickly the group can move into each venue.
If your goal is story immersion, pick the best possible listening spot. Stand slightly to the side of the guide’s path so you’re not constantly turning your body to look around others. If you like photos, take them during the first few minutes at each stop, not right when the guide starts the key story beats.
Also, time at stops can feel uneven. Some people have said they didn’t hit every bar on the planned list, or that certain stops ran long. That doesn’t mean the tour is always chaotic, but it does mean you should keep your evening schedule flexible. Think of it as a guided evening stroll that can run slightly different depending on the crowd.
Which guides make the biggest difference
The experience isn’t just about the route. It’s about how the guide paces it and how they tell the stories.
Guides such as Jalen, Amanda, Milo, Sam, Jennifer, and others have a strong reputation for mixing humor with local context and keeping everyone engaged even when conditions aren’t ideal. People have specifically praised guides for being interactive and funny, and for staying attentive to safety and group cohesion.
What you can do: treat your guide like part of the plan. Ask one quick question if there’s a natural moment, and you’ll usually get a better sense of Savannah beyond the haunting theme.
Should you book the Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl?
Book it if you want a guided night with a clear plan, you like ghost stories tied to real places, and you’re happy paying for the guide plus optional drinks. It’s especially worth it on a first trip to Savannah when you want your evening to feel efficient and you don’t want to guess which historic spots matter after dark.
Consider skipping or adjusting expectations if you mainly want a cemetery-focused paranormal experience. This tour includes a cemetery stop, but it’s still a pub crawl format with multiple bars and drink-time dynamics. If you want a longer cemetery-only experience, you might prefer another style of tour.
Also book with flexibility in mind. Some nights may feel crowded near the 30-person cap, and routes can run a bit differently in practice. If you care deeply about a specific stop or the exact ending bar, build in buffer time so your plans don’t get squeezed.
If you’re going, do it with one goal: enjoy the walk, listen closely when the guide speaks, and treat each stop like a chapter in Savannah’s after-dark story.
