Most lists of things to do in Savannah mention that tourists should take a ghost tour, but I’m not one to walk through cemeteries at night.
So, I settled on a comedy ghost tour I found online that promised to combine the city’s history with a bit of lighthearted fun.
Our $33, 90-minute tour took place on an air-conditioned bus, which was nice. However, that was about the only highlight for me.
Although some people might enjoy the type of humor on the tour, I didn’t find our host very funny and thought their jokes were mostly self-deprecating.
Throughout the tour, costume-clad characters also boarded our bus to tell a story about the historical figures they represented. The storylines were fine, but again, not funny to me.
In the middle of the tour, the bus stopped at a local bar so people could spend 15 minutes grabbing a drink. When we got back to the bus, the guide noticed at least five people had ditched the tour — I kind of wish I’d done the same.
