Hop on a Grave Encounters trolley tour for a thrilling and chilling overview of Savannah’s notorious haunted history. Every night of the week, our ghostly guides share blood-curdling tales of murder, voodoo, death, disease and disaster in the Hostess City of the South. Our original ghost tour stands apart as Savannah’s best introduction to the city’s paranormal past.
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 tell their terrifying tales of woe. Learn whether Savannah socialite Matilda Sorrel actually killed herself, uncover Civil War secrets from Confederate soldiers, discover where the victims in the Siege of Savannah are buried and “meet” some of Savannah’s most frightful historic figures.
Additional highlights include the Sorrel-Weed House, widely considered the most haunted house in Savannah, and Colonial Park Cemetery, where many Yellow Fever victims are buried. We’ll also see the iconic Olde Pink House, known for its supernatural activity, as well as Yamacraw Bluff, Madison Square, the Mercer-Williams House, the Kehoe House, 17Hundred90 and other haunted sites around downtown Savannah.

This was a great tour! Best way to see and soak up the history of Savannah if you're short on time. Vince and Miss Ethel were awesome. Vince knew his... read more stuff and was great to add in comedy and get people engaged. You'll definitely want to tip, so make sure to bring some cash! Would absolutely recommend.
Mr. Comedy was my tour guide and Is the best out of dozens of tour guides I've had. Knows a lot and Is fun and deserves bigger tips but I... read more couldn't make change... Differs from Old Town Trolley because cheaper and character actors board at some stop s to tell stories. Only bad thing is they make you get off the bus after one round so I couldn't continue with Mr.Comedy. 😢
Old Savannah Tours does an amazing job of taking you back into history . The Trolleys are well maintained, clean, and very comfortable. The guides are knowledgeable and... read more friendly. Each tour guide would give their personal touch to the tour making them lots of fun and very interesting. I especially liked the historical reenactments at the different stops. Joey and his team were amazing!!
I am so happy this your exists. I have been looking for a dog friendly trolley tour and this did not disappoint! Everyone was so very nice to me and... read more my dog, Tucker. When we checked on, the employees offered him water and air conditioning while we waited. On the tour, our guide was so nice and gave Tucker love and attention. We did the hop on and hop off tour, and had a wonderful time each step of the way. Thank you for being a dog friendly tour in Savannah! It means a lot to have these options.
