Visit the Most Haunted Places in Savannah

In the world of ghostly encounters, Savannah holds the prestigious title of one of the most haunted cities in the nation. The city is rooted in layers of human suffering that reverberates through the streets, manifesting as eerie and spine-chilling experiences courtesy of the sorrowful spirits not ready to leave this world.

Savannah Terrors takes you to the city’s haunted locations that put it on the otherworldly map. Discover the sordid tales that birthed the infamous hauntings and spirits you may just experience tonight.

Colonial Park Cemetery

No ghost tour would be complete without a stop in a haunted cemetery. Colonial Park Cemetery has been the stuff of ghastly lore since the 1700s. Here, tour guests may encounter the spirits of Savannah’s many yellow fever victims. Yellow fever ravaged Savannah throughout the 1800s in three separate epidemics where hundreds lost their lives. While Savannah is the final resting place for more than 700 yellow fever victims, many who succumbed to this vicious disease aren’t resting at all. Come with us to Colonel Park Cemetery, where many have seen (and felt) apparitions of yellow fever fatalities aimlessly roaming the grounds.

Haunted 17Hundred90 Inn

This popular restaurant and hotel has been the subject of numerous paranormal invevstigations, and for good reason. Built in the 1800s, the building became the site of tragedy almost immediately when a young woman committed suicide by jumping from the roof. Her story is as old as time, as she fell in love with and became pregnant by a sailor who left Savannah with no intentions of returning. Distraught, she took her own life, making her a permanent resident of the 17Hundred90 Inn. Guests of Room 204 can expect a cozy room with disembodied sobbing and the possibility of having personal items moved around the room, or removed altogether. Enjoy!

The Kehoe House

This quaint, cozy bed and breakfast once served as a funeral home, only after it was the home of William Kehoe, his wife, and 10 kids. The ghosts of the two Kehoe kids who died in the home are still there, causing a ruckus for both staff and guests, maintaining their rambunctious behavior in the afterlife.

Test your bravery, and join us!

What to expect on your savannah terrors ghost tour.

Downtown Savannah is a thriving hub that boasts picturesque gardens, antique architecture, tree-lined walkways, and signature cobblestone streets that pay homage to simpler times.

For those brave enough to endure it, Savannah Terrors takes you on a guided walking ghost tour where we will lift the mask and reveal the city’s ominous locations that give Savannah its haunted reputation. Join us as we retell terrifying accounts ensnared in some of the city’s notoriously haunted spaces.

But Don’t Take Our Word For It!

Check out some of our fans, “ i am still terrified… ”.

Let me start off by saying that I love everything creepy, haunted, and ghost related. I am usually not bothered by scary ghost stories. I loved all the stories Chris told us on our tour.That being said, one story in particular has continued to haunt me. I wake up at night and I think, could that be?? I’m glad that as a family we took the tour. Chris was so personable and my kids loved him. I like the way he incorporated technology and his tour. Ghost hunting and tours is a personal experience. If you’re looking for a tour that will inspire your imagination, take this tour. You can’t go wrong. -Scarlett

“ Ho-Lee-Moly ”

I cannot say enough good things about this tour. Seriously. We attended the 10pm “spirits and scoundrels” tour and Ho-Lee-Moly was it fantastic! 432 Abercorn Street will absolutely chill you to the bone. Our tour guide was stupendous. A, “Long Distance Native,” she was so knowledgeable about the history of this amazing city. What great stories! We will most definitely be attending again. If you have never been to Savannah and fancy wanting to know it’s darker history, there is no better tour to take. This. Is. It. Look no further. Buy the ticket. – Chelsea

Plan the Perfect Trip to Savannah

A Local’s Guide to the Spookiest Savannah Ghost Tours

If you’re trying to find the best ghost tours in Savannah but are having a hard time making a decision because there are just too many options — I hear ya!

That analysis paralysis sets in quickly once you see how fun they all look.

I can help, though!

My friends and family always want to go on ghost tours when they visit, so that means I’ve had a lot of experience seeing which ones are best.

If you’re new around here, first of all… allow me to extend a warm welcome!

My name is Erin, and I authored the Savannah First-Timer’s Guide . I live downtown and love exploring the city after dark.

You’ll find sections below for trolley tours, hearse tours, walking tours, and pub crawls, as well as a list of adults-only tours and kid-friendly options.

If you already know which type of tour you want to do, feel free to use this handy table of contents to quickly skip to that section.

Savannah Walking Ghost Tours

If you’re on the hunt for the scariest ghost tours in Savannah, the nighttime walking tours are by far the best option.

There’s simply no comparison for being on foot to experience the Historic District’s most haunted locations. It will truly give you the heebie-jeebies!

Here’s the thing…

When you’re on foot you can get up close and personal with the spirits of the night — much more so than when you’re riding around in a hearse or trolley with loudspeakers blaring.

If I learned anything from watching Scooby Doo as a child, it’s that you have to be quiet to sneak up on ghosts. Zoinks!

Best Walking Ghost Tours in Savannah GA

NOTE: I always promote smaller, locally owned businesses on my site and avoid recommending corporations that run cookie-cutter tours in multiple states.

• Savannah Dark History Tour
• History & Haunts Candlelit Tour
• Savannah Ghostwalker Tour
• Sixth Sense Savannah Adults-Only Tour

The Dark History Tour is nice because they include earbuds so you can hear the guide. That means you won’t miss out on the ghost stories even when the streets are noisy. ( Or, if you’re like me, you won’t miss any details even if you wander off to take photos!) This tour is a reader favorite.

History & Haunts Tour is led by a guide dressed in historic attire who carries an old lantern around. I appreciate that this company doesn’t tell tall tales, and the guides are respectful of local homeowners’ properties. Plus, it’s just fun to explore the city by candlelight! This is also reader favorite.

The Ghostwalker Tour is an excellent option if you’re trying to avoid alcohol, since it isn’t allowed during their tours! They also cap the tour at 15 attendees, so it’s a better experience if you truly want to ask questions and learn Savannah’s haunted history.

I appreciate the Sixth Sense Tour because it’s a female-owned business that shakes things up a bit. They visit the Espy House and talk about the old Candler tunnels, so it’s different from the cookie-cutter stories you hear on many other tours.

Pros of a Nighttime Walking Ghost Tour

• Walking tours are so much more interactive than the other types of tours. When you’re on foot, it’s easier to see the intricate details of Savannah’s cemeteries and historic homes.
• The guides spill more details during the walking tours! If you’re the type of person who really gets into the stories, you can stroll right next to the guide and ask as many questions as you want.
• The Spanish moss that looks so pretty during the day casts ominous shadows over the Historic District at night. Sometimes it brushes your shoulder and is extra startling.
• The dimly lit cobblestone streets majorly add to the spook factor.
• You’ll burn more calories during a walking tour.
• Walking tours are much better for the environment.

Cons of a Savannah Walking Ghost Tour

Of course, the walking tours have their downsides, too.

• The max number of guests allowed per tour is 30, but I’ve seen larger groups than that wandering around. When the groups are too big, it’s difficult to hear your guide.
• The pace can also be slow, since the group has to move at the speed of the slowest person.
• Finally, since much of Savannah’s Historic District is an open-container zone, sometimes you’ll get people who are drinking on the tour, and they can get obnoxious and ruin things for everyone else.

Fortunately, the majority of the heavy drinkers tend to stick to the pub crawls, which I’ve separated into their own category further below.

VERDICT: If you’re physically able, the walking tours are the way to go! They’re the spookiest option, and they’re much better for the environment than the alternatives.

Savannah Haunted Pub Crawls

It doesn’t get much more “Savannah” than chasing spirits while you’re sipping on spirits !

During a pub crawl, you’ll visit three to five bars during a two-hour time period, and you’ll be able to order a drink at each spot.

Make note that the haunted pub crawls are limited to participants who are 21+.

Savannah Pub Crawl Ghost Tours

• Spooky Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl & Walking Ghost Tour
• Creepy Crawly Nighttime Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah
• Nightly Spirits Haunted Savannah Ghosts & Pub Walking Tour
• Mad Cat’s Bad Kitty Haunted Pub Crawl

The most popular option amongst the members in my private FB group is Spooky Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl & Walking Tour . It was also recently voted the top haunted pub tour in Savannah!

Spooky Steve is a total hoot, and he’ll keep you laughing while filling you in on all the local lore.

Pros of a Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl

• Pub crawls are an excellent way to meet people in a new city.
• They’re also a nice way to experience a few popular bars to decide which ones you like best.
• If you’re concerned about safety, it’s nice to have a guide that will make sure you aren’t harassed, roofied, or in any similar type of danger.
• The crawls are fun for the ever-popular bachelor and bachelorette parties that always seem to be happening in Savannah. They’re also ideal for solo travelers.
• Thanks to the city’s generous open container policy, if you aren’t finished with your drink when it’s time to leave, you can take your alcohol to go (aka: “take a traveler”).

Cons of the Haunted Pub Crawls

• It’s up to each individual guide to maintain crowd control.
• Guests who don’t know their limits can ruin the fun for everyone.
• The cost of alcohol is typically NOT included in the purchase of your ticket. (An exception: This one does include the drinks in the cost of the tour.)

NOTE : You’re not required to order drinks on the haunted pub tours, so don’t feel obligated. You’re welcome to just listen in on the stories and enjoy visiting the locations.

Savannah Hearse Tours

Few things screams “I’m a tourist” faster than riding around Savannah in a beat-up old hearse while a tour guide blasts stories at you over a loudspeaker. It’s practically a first-time visitor right of passage.

Still, the tours are popular — and rightly so since you get to ride around in a real hearse that’s been converted to “carry the living instead of the dead.”

Pros of the Hearse Tours

• You can book an entire hearse for a private tour, so they’re a great option for families or anyone who wants some personal space.
• Another perk of the hearse tours is that you can make requests if there’s a specific spot you want to see. TIf you want to venture into the Starland District or if there’s a place you’d like to check out that isn’t on any other ghost tour, the hearse tours will likely take you there.

Cons of a Savannah Hearse Tour

• The biggest downside is that the hearses are old and not very comfortable. Maybe that’s part of the experience, though?
• Since you’ll be listening to your guide through a speaker system, their tours don’t feel as personable.
• In my opinion, the hearse tours are more for entertainment and aren’t nearly as spooky as the walking tours. They fall on the cheesy side — but intentionally so.

VERDICT: If you want a personalized tour or prefer to stick with your small group then these are a good choice. However, if you want to be scared silly, go on one of the walking tours instead.

Savannah Haunted Trolley Tours

Trolley tours offer somewhat of a middle-ground between the walking tours and the hearse tours. They aren’t very spooky, but if you have mobility issues or have young kids in tow, I think they’re much more comfortable than the hearse tours.

The trolley tours will cart you past many of Savannah’s haunted locations , and you might even go inside a few of them — although that varies based on which trolley tour you take.

Savannah Ghost Trolley Tour Options

• OTT Ghosts & Gravestones Tour
• OST Grave Encounters Trolley Tour
• OST Grave Encounters Trolley Tour w/Dinner at the Pirates House
• The Savannah Underground Immersive Ghost Hunt Nighttime Trolley Tour

I’ve written a very detailed post about the differences between the haunted ghost tour trolleys , so I suggest reading it to learn which tour to take. It includes lots of helpful reviews from travelers who are in my private Savannah Facebook group.

VERDICT: Choose a haunted trolley ride if you have mobility issues but still want to experience the haunted side of the city. Expect the trolley tours to fall on the cheesy side! (Don’t say I didn’t warn you.) Read my Savannah ghost tours trolley post for recent reviews.

Savannah Paranormal Tours & Experiences

Want to try your luck searching for ghosts? Savannah’s a great place to do it!

There are a few tours in the city that loan our their ghost hunting equipment, teach you how to use it, and then send you off to find a ghost of your own.

These tours use equipment like dowsing rods, EVP recorders, and EMF sensors to track down spirits. Most are outdoor tours, but the top tour takes place inside an historic theater that was built in 1818!

The Top Paranormal Investigations in Savannah

• Historic Savannah Theatre 3-Hour Paranormal Investigation
• The Witching Hour 2-Hour Paranormal Walking Ghost Tour

The Historic Savannah Theatre Paranormal Investigation is one of the best tours to take if you like investigating paranormal activity. The guide teaches you how to use ghost-hunting equipment and then lets you roam the historic theatre late at night when it’s extra spooky. This is a reader favorite!

The Witching Hour Paranormal Tour is led by Brigid, so it’s a female-owned business. She focuses on the use of dowsing rods in an attempt to communicate with known spirits in places like Colonial Park Cemetery . Hers is a family-friendly tour, and she even offers a sage cleansing at the end to ensure no spirits follow you home. This is another reader favorite!

VERDICT: Paranormal activity tours work best when you go into them with an open mind. You have to believe anything is possible when it comes to communicating with Savannah’s spirits.

Savannah Haunted House Tours

While there are a plethora of different options for ghost tours in Savannah, you may be surprised to hear that there aren’t many haunted house tours in the city.

Most of the tours listed above walk or drive past Savannah’s haunted houses , but they don’t go inside.

The Sorrel Weed House is rare because you can explore the home’s interior while a guide explains its unusual history. They also offer a paranormal investigation so you can try your hand at using ghost hunting equipment inside the home.

VERDICT: I always say it’s good to take the opportunity to tour Savannah’s historic homes while they’re open to the public, since they could revert back to private use at any time.

True Crime Savannah Ghost Tours

Whether you’re a fan of dark tourism and crime podcasts or you simply enjoy watching Law & Order episodes on repeat, a true-crime tour might be just your speed.

Instead of communicating with spirits or photographing orbs, you’ll hear about real life crimes of passion that have occurred in Savannah. (This city has had plenty of them, no doubt.)

Popular topics include the notorious Mercer Williams House , a skeleton found inside the walls of the Foley House Inn, the hanging of Alice Riley in Wright Square, and many other spooky Savannah stories.

VERDICT: As far as I’m concerned, every street in Savannah has been the scene of a crime at least once. Case in point: Savannah Crime Map 2021 and Current Savannah Crime Map .

Spooky Savannah Ghost Tours (Ages 18+)

Sometimes when you’re on vacation it’s nice to enjoy a kid-free night.

These tours are for the 18+ crowd, and — although they don’t necessarily stop in bars for drinks — they usually don’t mind if you tote your own to go cup along the route. (If you’re of legal age, that is.)

• Uncensored Nighttime Walking Tour (Ages 18+)
• Sixth Sense Savannah Adults-Only Walking Tour (Ages 18+)
• Spirits & Scoundrels Adults-Only Walking Tour (Ages 18+)

VERDICT: Choose these tours if you’re into the macabre and are hoping to get spine-tingling chills and/or goosebumps at least once during your outing.

Family-Friendly Savannah Ghost Tours

I realize many of you vacation with your kids and need family-friendly options to provide an hour or two of entertainment. I totally get that! After all, I experienced my first Savannah ghost tour when I was in my younger and more impressionable years.

That was back in the days when tour guides still paraded groups past the beautiful Hampton Lillibridge House — one of the only homes in Savannah where an actual exorcism was performed.

That tour certainly made a lasting impression on me, and I’m willing to bet a similar one will probably do the same for your kids! It’s a good way to get them hooked on Savannah.

The Top Family-Friendly Ghost Tours in Savannah

• Fraidy Cat: The Family Fun Ghost Tour of Savannah
• Blue Orb Savannah Shadows: All Ages Ghost Tour
• Grave Tales Fun for the Whole Family Ghost Tour

VERDICT: Family-friendly ghost tours are a fantastic way to keep the kids entertained while also guaranteeing they won’t soon forget their trip to Savannah.

What Our Guests Are Saying

Mel bell…a fantastic conductor.

Mel Bell…a fantastic conductor!!! Spoke distinctly, was kind, considerate, funny, wonderful in all ways. If I visit Savannah again, I sure hope I get to ride her trolley again. She made my family and I seem like we were old friends with her in that short time we were riding with her…

It was the highlight of our trip!

A big shout out to Armando on the Old Town Trolley. It was a rainy day, but Armando made the sun shine with his animated and informative presentation. We had the best time ever on a trolley tour… It was the highlight of our trip!

Our family highly recommends this tour

Our tour guide Eric was so energetic!!! He made the tour! So knowledgeable about the city of Savannah and its history! He would burst into song on a whim and interacted with everyone. He kept 3 teenagers entertained for 90 minutes… Our family highly recommends this tour and if possible hop on his trolley bus!

Each time Brenda's tour was phenomenal

Thank you for providing Brenda as a tour guide… In our two days of utilizing your wonderful service, we were blessed to come across Brenda several times, and each time her tour was phenomenal. She is a great historian and storyteller, and by far the best tour guide we have had the pleasure to experience.

Well done tour guide!

We truly enjoyed the tour… but we must say it was made wonderful by our tour guide. He “narrated” the tour as someone who is reading a story. He was great!!! His tone and friendly manner made his knowledge shine even more. He gave us so much information, entertaining us, that we can’t believe he didn’t gasp for air to continue. Well done tour guide!!…

We will take this tour again

…We recently took a trip to Savannah with relatives from MN. We took a tour on the trolley with the intention of getting off and on multiple times. Our tour guide was so amazing and knowledgeable, that we stayed on the entire 90 min tour. Our guide was Will. He deserves to be recognized for his great attitude, knowledge, representation of the Old Town Trolley, and his presentation skills…

Terrifically entertaining tour

Ruben was our conductor and I just had to write in to compliment his work. He was enthusiastic and gave a terrifically entertaining tour of lovely Savannah. No one wanted to get off at any of the stops…

Informative and hilarious

Just visited Savannah for first time on our honeymoon. We had Denise as one of our drivers and we absolutely loved her. She was very informative and hilarious. She truly exemplified Southern hospitality and culture and we hope to visit again soon and hope to find Denise on the trolley… a job well done!

I recently had a long layover at the Savannah Airport so I took the opportunity to wander around. I did the right thing by taking the trolley tour first. Cindy was our conductor and no one wanted to leave! She was FUNNY and informative. The accent just made it all better as she told us about the ‘winders’ in the buildings. Great fun.

Cindy was Fabulous

My grandson and I took the trolley tour and our first and last conductor was Cindy. She was FABULOUS!!!…my grandson was actually excited when we got on the last bus. He said, “Look, it’s Cindy.” She knew every nook and cranny and had so many stories to tell about the areas that we saw. We totally enjoyed our tour and will definitely do another one when we return…

Net is a high quality, professional tour guide

We just wanted to make sure you were aware of the exceptional service provided by your trolley tour guide Net… She was not only knowledgeable, polite, and considerate to all passengers, but she was funny, and interacted with the trolley passengers and kept everyone on board engaged and entertained…

We highly recommend

My sister and I recently visited Savannah and decided to try out the Trolley Tour and we are so happy we did! Our tour guide was Mel Bell and she is FABULOUS! Not only did she fill us with more historical facts than we will ever remember but she was so much fun! She was entertaining and kept the ride lively.

Savannah, Georgia, nestled in the southeastern portion of the U.S., is one of the most culturally rich and historically significant cities in the country. With its dynamic blend of art, literature and architecture, and with its history in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and the Civil Rights Movement, there’s no doubt that Savannah is a stunning and lively city that has much to offer.

1. Historic District: One of Savannah’s top attractions is its Historic District, recognized as a National Historic Landmark, which encompasses more than 20 blocks downtown.

The main tourist street in Savannah is none other than River Street. It’s a bustling cobblestone street that runs parallel to the Savannah River, spanning for about a mile. This street is a hub of activity and a must-visit destination for tourists. There’s always something going on, whether it’s a street performer entertaining the crowds, a lively festival, or a boat tour. River Street is known for its beautiful historic buildings, which have been preserved since the city’s founding in 1733.

The street is famous for its mix of Federal-, Italianate-, and Romanesque Revival-style homes built in the mid-19th century. No matter where you look, the street is graceful and stunning. It hasn’t changed much since it was founded, and it maintains its historical charm with its cobblestone street and moss-draped live oak trees.

Can you tour Savannah at night? + -

A Savannah Itinerary for Every Traveler

Experience craft cocktails, coastal gardens, and more in this Georgia city.

A little dose of Southern hospitality goes a long way, and the charming city of Savannah has got that in spades. No matter your vacation goals, it has an ideal itinerary that'll fit the bill. Read on to discover what to do, where to stay, and what to eat, whatever type of traveler you may be.

For the Gourmand

The Olde Pink House is a Savannah staple, set in a Colonial mansion dating back to 1771. Choose between the fried-green-tomato salad with applewood bacon, sweet-corn cream, shrimp and grits, and the buffalo-shrimp tacos—then top it off with a piece of pecan pie for dessert. Set in a 19th-century warehouse, Vic's on the River features classic Southern cooking like crawfish beignets, pecan fried flounder, fried chicken, and Old Bay French fries.

The DeSoto Savannah, a hotel in the heart of the Historic District known for hosting four presidents and many a celebrity throughout its 130-year history, is where you'll find the popular Edgar's Proof & Provision . Expect craft cocktails and chef-inspired fare—sipping private-label Edgar's Truth bourbon is almost a rite of passage in Savannah (or you can choose one of the other 120-plus available whiskies).

For the Relaxationist

Savannah Riverboat Cruises has two riverboats each with two climate-controlled decks and an open-air top deck, as well as narrated tours of the harbor. You'll sail down to Old Fort Jackson and back into town over one and a half hours, with plenty of great photo opps of the city's historic riverfront and skyline along the way.

The Eastern Wharf is a walkable 54-acre gathering place with community parks and abundant green space, just perfect for a chill afternoon. Stop for a bite to eat or a refreshing drink (Honeysuckle Gelato is a local favorite, as is Bar Julian , Savannah's tallest rooftop bar), book a rejuvenating treatment at Woodhouse Spa , or take a calming floral workshop at Syd Nichole Fashion + Flowers . And the Park at Eastern Wharf is where you'll find community concerts, yoga classes, cornhole games, and more.

Perhaps the most photographed landmark of Savannah is the Parisian-inspired fountain in Forsyth Park . It's easy to spend hours meandering all 30 acres, marveling at the iconic Spanish moss hanging from the live oak trees, staring at the gorgeous historic homes, and listening to the singing birds. The Garden of Fragrance is an especially nice spot to stop to smell the roses—as it was especially created for the blind to stimulate the olfactory sense. There are also two basketball courts, a canine playground, tennis courts, volleyball nets, and a playing field should you want to kick a soccer ball around. Or visit the farmers market, held every Saturday morning.

For the Outdoor Enthusiast

Head over to Tybee Island , a small coastal community about 18 miles from Historic Savannah that's known for its wide beaches and still-functioning 18th-century lighthouse. Go ahead and climb its 178 steps (it's Georgia's oldest and tallest lighthouse), as you'll be treated to a view of the entire island from up top. Or take a guided kayak tour with Sea Kayak Georgia to check out the surrounding coastal area. To really see the whole island, rent a bicycle from Tim's Bike and Beach Gear —the roads are bike-friendly, and there are plenty of scenic trails to keep you busy.

One of Savannah's best-kept secrets is Skidaway Island State Park , thanks to its miles of nature trails that run through lush forests and salt marshes. There's a scenic campground here for hooking up an RV, or you can rent camper cabins complete with screened porches, air-conditioning, a shower, a kitchen, and bedrooms (you'll just need to bring your own linens, dishes, and cooking utensils). Watch for deer, fiddler crabs, raccoons, egrets, and other birds with binoculars borrowed from the park's interpretive center.

Spend a day at the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens and you'll quickly understand why 100,000 visitors flock to this attraction annually. There are a dozen separate gardens on-site, including the Formal Garden (actually four Italian-Renaissance-style gardens, off the back of the visitor center), the Rivers of Iris (with its peak bloom in April and early May), and the Pollinator Garden (where from spring through fall, you'll find bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies).

For the Culture Lover

One of the most interesting aspects of Savannah's rich history is the Gullah Geechee culture, a community of descendants of enslaved Africans who have lived in the area for generations. Learn about their language, traditions, religion, and cuisine from residents who grew up in this community at the Pin Point Heritage Museum , located in a refurbished crab-and-oyster factory on the riverbank.

One great way to get a feel for Savannah is via self-guided or guided tour , where you can peruse cobblestone streets, the riverfront, and well-preserved historic architecture.

Or take the Savannah Trolley Tour , an open-air hop-on/hop-off trolley ride. There are more than 100 points of interest along the 15 stops (it covers all nine miles of the Historic District and the Victorian District, known for its historic homes and elegant architecture), including the Colonial Park Cemetery, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Forsyth Park, Lucas Theatre, and City Market. Don't miss Jones Street, the prettiest in Savannah, thanks to its mixture of Federal-, Italianate-, and Romanesque Revival-style homes and its massive, evocative moss-draped live oak trees.

For a hotel stay at one of the most architecturally stunning properties in town, choose The Gastonian , an award-winning bed and breakfast near Forsyth Park. This grand mansion and its impeccable staff deliver Southern charm and hospitality at every turn. Each of the 17 rooms has a clawfoot tub and a working fireplace. You'll have a gourmet made-to-order breakfast each morning, and afternoon hors d'oeuvres and wine are served from 5 to 6:30 p.m daily.

Proposed solutions for downtown Savannah residents' trolley concerns coming soon

Downtown Savannah residents may see proposed solutions this spring to two major quality-of-life concerns ― tour vehicle amplification and high trolley traffic in squares.

Savannah City Manager Jay Melder told members of the Downtown Neighborhood Association Tuesday night that a pilot for trolley route adjustments on Warren and Washington Squares will take effect on April 1. He also promised a proposed ordinance to reduce tour vehicle amplification in either April or May this year.

"I'm happy to support any technology that we think is going to make life better for downtown residents," Melder said.

Tourism concerns: Tourism concerns rise for Savannah's downtown residents as city, industry seek balance

The pilot program for route adjustments will be carried out by Old Town Trolley and Old Savannah Tours. Warren and Washington Squares were selected for the pilot due to those being areas of high trolley traffic.

The Old Town Trolley route will remove a trip down Rainbow Row, which is one section of downtown that a DNA study found heavy trolley traffic. The new Old Savannah Tours route will remove access to Houston Street going around Washington Square, according to Melder's presentation.

"We want to see how it goes; we want to see what the impacts are," Melder said.

DNA President David McDonald said he is hopeful the adjustments in the pilot will have a positive impact. Still, the neighborhood's trolley study identified other squares, such as Chippewa and Columbia, that also experience a high frequency of trolleys.

When it comes to tour vehicle sound, there are a few options on the table. The most prominent potential solutions are in-ear technology or directional speakers. The directional speakers are likely the preferred solution for trolley companies, with Old Town Trolley's General Manager Garry Patrick saying in December that in-ear technology does not enhance the visitor experience .

Background: Trolley companies respond to residents' concerns; propose solutions at tourism meeting

Neighborhood associations represented on TAC ― Downtown, Victorian, Thomas Square ― expressed in December's TAC meeting the need for neighborhood leaders to see a demonstration of directional speakers before endorsing them.

Melder said a public demonstration will take place before the ordinance is proposed.

"I'm not an audio technician, but I have seen a demo. I thought it worked," Melder said. "But we want to make sure the DNA has an opportunity to see what these directional audio systems can do, and whether or not it's a solution that is going to work for us."

The measures proposed by Melder are the most concrete steps to date seeking a balance between tourists and residents. DNA first presented its trolley study to TAC in October 2023, and the trolley companies followed in December.

McDonald said he is happy things are moving forward, but the effectiveness of the measures is still uncertain.

"We've got the attention of the city council, the mayor, and the city manager, so we're happy about that," McDonald said. "Now it's time to see implementation."
