After all, you’re on vacation, right? Why should you have to think too hard about what ghost tours in Savannah to go on? Time is a precious commodity and there are lots of options to choose from: some ghost tours in Savannah explore Savannah’s haunted history. Other ghost tours focus on Savannah ghost stories. Some offer paranormal “evidence.” others delve more deeply into Savannah's Low Country Voodoo and Hoodoo traditions. Some of the best Savannah ghost tours offer most or all of the above and even a variety of tours to choose from. “Which tour and guide is best for me, my friends, my family” you may ask? Good question — because when it comes to the best ghost tours in Savannah, Georgia – one size does not fit all – no matter how many different tour offerings an individual company has. Start by asking yourself this very important question: “What am I looking for in a ghost tour?” Equally important — “what kind of tour guide am I looking for?” “Do I know?” “Does it matter?” If you haven’t decided before you get to Savannah – “no problem,” you say. “I’ll just decide after I get there.” Finding the Best Savannah Ghost Tour Guide Savannah has a handful of great ghost tour guides and a collection of good ones.

Just depends on whether you’re interested in drinking at each stop! No one’s judging. In Part Two we’ll explore how to find the best possible Savannah ghost tour guide. I’m dead serious.
