Fun tour but good for kids below 10

Venumadhav_V, Jul 2023

Samantha was very good. Tour is catered to younger crowd below 10. My 14 year old was expecting jump scares but I would recommend this for kids below 10 years.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

The Fraidy Cat tour is geared towards families with children, but I apologize if your 13 year old didn't enjoy it. Thank you for joining us though and thank you for the review.

Scary for a child but educational

Cathy_G, Jun 2023

Nina was wonderful. She has a wealth of knowledge about Savannah ghosts. I expected a more whimsical and less scary tour for my granddaughter since it was called a fun name and listed as family fun. I truly enjoyed the experience as an adult.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

I do apologize that Nina may have scared your granddaughter. I'm certain she didn't mean to. But I am happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you sincerely for the review.

Great Tour

Gina_S, Dec 2022

Great tour. A little gory for kids but it is a ghost tour.. Guide was great and it’s the only tour in town kids under 6 can go on so for that Id recommend!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you so much for joining our Fraidy Cat tour and I apologize if it was a bit much for the little ones. We truly try to tailor it appropriately for our youngest guests but occasionally it is difficult to make that judgement call. Thank you for joining us and thank you for the review.

Samantha was great!

Stephanie_L, Sep 2022

Our guide Samantha had a great personality and was very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited as well as the ghost stories. My daughter and I enjoyed this tour very much.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you so much for joining Samantha on our Fraidy Cat tour! She's a treasure. And we sincerely appreciate the review!

Tour guide was...

Christina_T, Aug 2022

Tour guide was informative on the history. However I didn’t need to hear about her personal problems or need to see her pull a switchblade out on a ‘family’ friendly tour with kids there.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Dear heavens! I truly apologize. This is outrageous! I am so very sorry. I will be talking to her immediately.

Great puns and family fun! Great tour!

Keisha_P, Jun 2022

We had a great tour with our family amongst three other families. We were the one that had a screaming toddler that was stung by a wasp as soon as we began. The guide was very patient and friendly despite the screaming. She was informative and helped us adults easily read between the lines when explaining certain things that small children didn't need to hear. Many fun puns and interesting facts. Many new facts that we learned as well. Definitely a win!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

I'm so sorry that your child was stung by a wasp but I am sincerely glad that you enjoyed your tour. Thank you for joining us and thank you for the review.

A fun, spooky tour!

Danielle_P, Jun 2022

Our tour guide knew a lot about the local ghosts and told of her personal experiences. The group of 9 was the perfect size!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

A great haunted history tour

Kevin_P, Aug 2021

Had a wonderful time learning some history and stories of haunted Savannah. Cassandra was super nice and informative. With all the different tours available, this one is more personable as they do only smaller groups. A great time!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you so much for reviewing us. Cassandra is wonderful. We agree about smaller groups. It makes it more pleasant for guests and guides.
