Cobblestone Tours

This was a lot of fun. A lot of walking so be sure to wear good walking shoes. The ghost stories were very entertaining & we went to a lot of places we would not have found otherwise. Would definitely recommend it. Our guide Maria was awesome. All & all a very fun night.

My girlfriend and I had a great time. Our guide Jody was very informative and entertaining. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

We’ve done 3 Cobblestone Haunted Pub Crawl tours in the past few years and always had a great experience. While in Savannah for the 4^th this past weekend, we decided to join one on Friday night at the last minute, so we headed over to Molly’s for a quick bite before the tour.
They split the large crowd into two groups and we were directed to hang out across the street from Molly’s for what seemed like quite a while until the tour began. Our guide was either: new, very off her game, or she had had a few too many before she met up with us… or any combination of these.
I’m from a family of gregarious Irish storytellers… if you’re one of them, the more you drink, the better your stories. She wasn’t one of them. Her stories were boring, way too long, she kept losing her train of thought and the more drinks she had, the higher pitched her voice became (and the less we could actually make out what she was saying). I’ve heard from some genuinely interesting and compellingly recanted stories from previous tour guides, but this guide was really terrible.
Not only were her storytelling abilities lacking, but she also had a hard time controlling the crowd. We had a nice group and no one was too rowdy (unfortunately I’ve seen some unruly people on this tour before). Everyone was into it and enjoying their drinks.
When we hit the 2^nd bar (Pour Larry’s this time) we took about 30 minutes inside the bar (longer than normal) before the guide told us to go hang out outside/​upstairs while she rallied the troops. About half the group was waiting outside for (no exaggeration) 30 minutes while our guide was no where to be found. Luckily there was some fun live music on the square, but waiting without a drink got old fast. It took so long that people legitimately thought she took off with the other half of the group and we somehow missed it. Finally someone went back downstairs and found our guide (and the other half of the group) in a rousing game of Jenga.
I don’t think she was actually the one playing the game (although I didn’t see it firsthand), but she was letting it happen. We ended up spending far too long at that shi**y bar while we could have been walking around this lovely city hearing more stories. A more experienced tour guide would have taken control and said, «Ok guys, our time here is up; we’re leaving now. You don’t have to come along, but if you want to, now is the time.» She already had their $ 15…what did she care if they actually came along or not?
The tour used to be $ 10/​pp with the coupon; now it’s $ 15/​pp. IMO, it’s overpriced and in this case I was very dissatisfied this time around. On a positive note, we ended up at McDonough’s and I got to sing some karaōke, so that was cool.
Overall, I gave it 2 stars because of our previous positive experiences, but I don’t think I’ll be back.

We did the Haunted Pub Crawl. Our guide, Rhett (perfect Southern name for a Savannah tour guide, amiright?) was entertaining and friendly. He showed up in period clothing, so he was easy to spot. The tour was interesting, with a lot of history, as well as some fun ghost stories about the buildings we saw and visited. If you are expecting to actually see a ghost, this is not the tour for you (nor any haunted tour, really). However, if you want to have a good time, hear some interesting stories, and learn some Savannah history all while enjoying some tasty drinks, this is the tour for you!

The Colonial Park Cemetery tour rocks! Jamie did a phenomenal job showing us the lesser known, and more disturbing history.

Just took the Haunted Pub Crawl! It was a small group, probably because it was a Sunday. Our tour guide, Jodie was wonderful. He was super friendly and chatted with you in the bars and along the way and told you extra stories and even helped find us some AWESOME grub (thanks for the pizza suggestion Jodie). I’ve taken several ghost tours in different cities before, but none where you get to drink. Where we started out, Moon River, was the only place where we really had a ghost story that took place in the bar. But like Jodie said, it’s Sunday and some places are closed. So if you want more places, go on a different day. But he took us along walks and told us about other places that were haunted that were on the way to bars. You’ll get about 15 minutes in each bar to grab a drink and enjoy it. Highly recommend it. This was so fun. Grab the coupon from their website online and you’ll get five bucks off.

We did the non pub crawl ghost walk with Patrick as our guide. Only 8 of us plus Patrick. He is a wealth of knowledge about Savannah history and is honest about having limited ghostly encounters himself. My husband, the history lover, especially enjoyed the lengthy stories on our 90 minute walk… plus the bonus 15 minutes Patrick stayed to chat at the end.

History was worth it. Moon River brewery was very interesting. A must-​do. The price is right. Our tour guide was Julie and she was fun!

This is absolutely the BEST tour I’ve ever been on! Patrick was an amazing tour guide, so definitely ask for him! He’s a fantastic storyteller, and he’s just a nice guy! Apparently there are 89 tour companies in Savannah, but as far as my friend and I are concerned, Cobblestone is the best! Not only are you entertained, you learn a lot about history and why things are the way they are around Savannah. Our guide was not only knowledgeable about the ghost stories and that aspect of Savannah’s history, but also about all kinds of other interesting historical facts and anecdotes. Highly recommended!

Took the haunted pub crawl tour and had a blast! I highly recommend it! Our tour guide Rhett was great! A Savannah native who knows his city! He also gave recommendations on shots to take at the local bars. He threw in extra random facts about Savannah where it would fit in. He ended the tour right on time, but we never felt rushed or like he was killing time.

The #1 reason to do this: history & drinking.
Traveling with family means that barhopping options are limited (as in, forget the barhopping, let’s sleep at 10pm). I’m a bit unique in my fascination with the paranormal, so I was looking forward to mixing barhop with a haunted twist.
Drinking + history was enough to draw me to the Haunted Pub Crawl. Krista was our tour guide, and her quirky sense of humor and fascination with the paranormal coupled with drinking games set us up for a great group.
Since I’m a foodie, I’ll detail the drinks.
Starting with the best:
Scorpion Tea at Hang Fire was an excellent mix of ginger beer and whiskey. Much like a 7 and 7 (whiskey and 7-​Up), it was a sweet, fizzy drink that was perfect for the night.
The Pickleback Shot at O’Connell’s is not for everyone, but lovely for me. A shot of whiskey chased with pickle juice — you better love pickles.
The Savannah Flu is a shot of Bloody Mary at the bar next to 17 Hundred 90. Nothing exciting, but love the name and folklore that goes with it.
As for ghosts: don’t expect spirits, just the ones in your cup. The stories were fun, but the focus is on enjoying the crawl with the motley group of people you’re paired with. I guarantee if you start buying shots for the group, you will be repaid in kind — and have a better tour for it.

It appears there are three options for tours; amusement park, ghosts hunters, and historical. If you want flashy, amusement like journey, this is not it. If you seek paranormal experiences and an intense focus on the undead, you may be disappointed. If you want a historical overview of the personality of this city, the charm over the years, and some insight into the tragedy it has seen locally, this tour is for you.
My 13 y/​o mad I wanted realistic insight into what makes Savannah the most «haunted town» without the hype. We wanted the truth of the locals. We definitely got our money’s worth and now have direction on the things we won’t to revisit on our 2^nd and 3^rd days here.
Tanner (Tanna) was our guide. She was sweet, delightful, and very knowledgeable of the «vibe» in this area.
I’ve taken similar tours in Gettysburg and in Tennessee. This was a great value and what we wanted.

We did their «Haunted Pub Crawl» tour while on vacation in Savannah. There were only four of us, and as we sat outside of Moon River waiting for our guide she ambled up at exactly 8pm. Our guide, Megan, was dressed in «period» clothing and looked bored out of her mind.
The only place she took us that wasn’t open to the public was upstairs at Moon River. We stood in one room while she talked on without excitement or inflection. It was cool seeing the upstairs part of this supposed «most haunted building in Savannah» though. From there we went to a few more bars but only into public areas. She talked briefly about the homes we passed and it was interesting– but obviously not to her. With the online coupon the tour was cheap so I guess we can’t complain too much. It is great that you can open container your way through historic Savannah but next time I’d try a different tour.

This was our first haunted tour, and since neither of us are paranormal hobbyists, a pub crawl was a nice accompaniment. We went on the 8 pm tour and got an extra hour and bar for free because our guide picked up the 9 pm tour due to the other tour guide calling out.
Seems that the tours go to different pubs. Ours went to Moon River, Molly MacPhersons, Hang Fire, 17 Hundred 90, and O’Connells. Moon River was the best, it was the only bar where you went upstairs to the unfinished/“haunted” part of the building. It’s pretty cool and creepy up there. The other bars you hear the story outside, go inside and grab some drinks, and then head out to the next destination. Not all of the stories are based in the bars, and you walk around to several sites outside.
There’s a coupon online, but you don’t really need to bring it. Our guide just automatically discounted the admission to $ 10 a person. Good deal, more money for beer!

We’ve been on this tour 3 times. Loved every minute of it. It’s more bar crawl than ghost tour but some of the ghosty part can be very interesting. We’ve had awesome tour guides (1 guy twice). Some really got into it, some were super-​campy, and some drank with us. All awesome. I even went on this tour pregnant (and not drinking) and had a blast.
Went to some great bars. The best was doing a dillback shot (clear whiskey with a dill pickle juice chaser) with my brother in law. And Molly’s for the pear cider. Just go, you’ll have fun. And it’s cheap with the coupon, whether you remember to bring it or not.

My husband and I went on a few tours (two ghost tours) while on vacation in Savannah, and the Candlelight Ghost Tour was the least enjoyable of them all.
The price was right, and the tour guide seemed really knowledgeable about the city. She gave us great information about where to park in the city, etc.
On the other hand the tour group was so big (and the guide so soft-​spoken) that it was really difficult to hear. The stories weren’t very exciting. Twice we almost just walked away.
I notice many reviews calling this tour intimate — we had A TON of people in our group. Intimate is not the right word for what we experienced.
We recommend splurging on a more expensive walking tour.

The Haunted Pub Crawl was a campy, cute, touristy excuse to go from pub to pub and drink beer. I like beer. In this regard, it was a great success.
I actually found some of the stories interesting, like learning that Pour Larry’s was once a slave pen. Also, it was pretty cool getting to go to some of the deserted upper stories of some of the buildings. Neat!
Walking around Savannah with your tour group while finishing the beer from the last pub is fun in itself. The tour was a satisfying diversion for an evening in the historic district.
Sure, most of the stories were not very scary, and some of them were not very convincing, but I have some news for folks who expect a truly terrifying tour: Ghosts are not real. Beer is real.
So, relax and enjoy!

This past weekend, my fiancé and I did the Haunted Pub Crawl which takes you to several bars in the historic district as you listen to ghost stories from your guide. Like some other people on Unilocal,we got a discount coupon through the website, so it really wasn’t too expensive. In this case, we really got what we paid for.
We met outside Molly MacPhersons which was a cool bar. Some of the other bars were OK, but the whole experience just sucked because the stories were not scary or even entertaining. People in the group kept interjecting so it was difficult to hear the guide anyways. You’d think that it would be fun because everyone was drinking, but it just sucked. We just couldn’t hang with it the whole time, we were so bored, so we left about an hour into it. I’d recommend that you save your money and just go to the bars on your own and ask the bartenders about the ghosts because it appeared that this is where the guide got her boring stories.

We did the pub crawl. I would liked to actually go in more places and their were very few stops. Molly MacPhersons was really awesome though. Really cool bar.
AVOID the spiked iced tea (forget where this was)…it’s almost ten bucks and very over rated. Save your money for the martini place and macphersons.
Overall; good time but was expecting a little more.

I only did this tour out of love for my friend who really wanted to go hunting for the undead. It turned out to be such a blast though, including a spooky encounter, a chance meeting with the Mayor of Savannah, and lots of interesting Savannah characters along the way.
With the military discount and all, it was only $ 8 and really worth it. Our guide was this sweet pretty Hungarian girl named Judith who is just spectacular. The tour that night was pretty intimate considering that it was just my friend, Judith and myself, but that made it all the more fun and scary when it was just the three of us sitting in the dark talking about ghosts.
It’s a must do, considering that Savannah is considered the most haunted city in the US. A lot of bars that we stopped by have also been featured in haunting and ghost hunting specials on the Discovery channel and stuff. For the ‘fraidy cats out there, alcohol will make you a little braver, hence the beauty of the pub crawl aspect of the tour.
