The experience

You meet your guide near Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites in downtown Savannah, and the evening starts with an introduction to the night's route and the real crime stories that anchor it. This is not a generic bar crawl or a ghost-tour retelling: the guide leads you through Savannah's historic district following actual murder cases, crimes of passion, serial killers and unsolved crimes that shaped the city. The exact streets shift depending on the evening, but the tone stays dark, researched and grounded in local history.

As you walk, the guide stops at curated bars along the way: places where you can order drinks at your own pace if you want them, or simply listen to the stories. The atmosphere is built into the route itself: narrow streets, old buildings, the weight of what happened in these places. This is a night out for travelers who want Savannah's stranger side, told by someone who knows the research behind it, not a surface-level retelling.

The tour typically ends near Tandem Coffee & Spirits or another downtown stop depending on the night's route, leaving you within easy reach of more bars, restaurants, rideshares and the riverfront. Two hours to two and a half hours is enough to move through multiple crime stories and several bar stops without the evening dragging or feeling rushed.

What’s included

• Professional local true crime guide leading the group.
