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.

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. 😢
We took the Savanna Queen lunch tour and completely enjoyed our trip! Tours are available without lunch. The buffet was delicious and offered gluten-free options. The shrimp and grits are fantastic... read more as well as the greens and sweet potatoes. I went back for seconds! Our friends had the fried chicken, gumbo, cornbread, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cobbler. All was said to be delicious. Learning about the history of the area and taking the trip up river with narrative added to our experience. We were welcome to go out on the different decks for viewing and able to return to the dining level as we wished. The boat was clean with many restrooms available. Our sights included shipping facilities, a fort, a sunken barge, and wildlife. A wonderful day was had and we learned much about the history of the river and Savanna.
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!!!!
It was a great experience. Personnel was very sweet. They greeted us from the beginning to the end. They had actors that jump in in some stops that make the... read more experience different (i just wished they had more, at least one in every other stop - they were dressed like back in those years, accents, everything was perfectly thought) thank you for the great experience. Great tour guide as well, knowledgeable, funny, and courteous.
