Looking for a spooky good time in Savannah? Don’t miss the Grave Encounters Tour With Pirates’ House Dinner, which includes exclusive access to the restaurant’s legendary Rum Cellar that was once frequented by real-life pirates. Old Savannah Tours is the ONLY local company offering access to the original Rum Cellar at the Pirates’ House, so this tour is a must-see and your one chance to venture inside this hallowed haunt.
Start your evening with a Grave Encounters trolley tour for a thrilling overview of Savannah’s haunted history. Every night of the week, ghostly guides share tales of murder, voodoo, death, disease and disaster in the Hostess City of the South.
The Grave Encounters Tour includes stories about the Sorrel-Weed House, which is widely considered the most haunted house in Savannah, and the Colonial Park Cemetery, where many Yellow Fever victims were buried.
You’ll also see the iconic Olde Pink House, known for its supernatural activity, and explore the Telfair Academy, Savannah’s oldest public art museum, to enjoy spine-tingling stories. Along the way, you’ll hear lively tales told by some of Savannah’s most illustrious “spirits” – from deceased theater performers to dead pirates – who hop on the trolley to share their morbid tales of misfortune.
After your tour, enjoy a delicious dinner at The Pirates’ House – one of Georgia’s most iconic restaurants, which originally opened in 1753 as an inn for seafarers – and keep your eyes out for paranormal activity. Immortalized by Robert Louis Stevenson in his acclaimed novel Treasure Island, The Pirates’ House once served as a site where patrons were unceremoniously “shanghaied” and woke up to find themselves at sea aboard a working pirate ship.

Our tour was lovely and our guide was funny and informative. We did the hop-on hop-off and it was very convenient and fun. They would have received 4 stars except... read more they have a bonus service I wasn’t expecting. They will send a trolly to you, wherever you are in the city, to pick you up and take you to the start of your tour. We called in the morning to figure out where to wait and within minutes we were getting picked up and taken to the right place. The agent on the phone was also remarkably cheerful, helpful, and delightful. Recommend!
We had an amazing time! A very thorough tour. The history here in Savannah is incredible, and nothing beats taking a 90 min, relaxed, old savannah tour to learn it... read more all! Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.
The Comedian man picked my son (10 yrs old) and me up at our hotel. He was awesome and told us a lot about Savannah on our way to... read more the main office. Then we started our tour with Robbin. Oh my gosh, my son and I absolutely adored her. She was full of awesome stories about Savannah's history as well as some hilarious jokes. We hated to leave her when we got off at the Pirate House. After we finished the tour, we were walking on Bay St back to our hotel. Robbin drove past, and recognized us from being with her tour 3 hrs earlier. She waved to us, which made my sons day!! She remembered us being on her tour. This is an amazing tour with fantastic guides. My son wanted to go hang out with Robbin when she got off work if that tells you anything. She is absolutely the best by far!!!!
