Savannah Historic District · Bonaventure Cemetery · Colonial Park Cemetery
Ghost City Tours operates ghost walking tours in dozens of U.S. cities, with Savannah among its programs advertised as running since 2012. In Savannah the company runs five separately ticketed products rather than a single tour: the family-friendly Grave Tales Tour and the daytime Bonaventure Cemetery Tour, both open to all ages; the adults-only Dead of Night Tour and Beyond Good and Evil Tour, both restricted to guests 16 and older; and the 21-and-up Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl.
The company's own site states its published methodology emphasizes documented history and exterior views of haunted buildings rather than access to private interiors — guests stand outside the buildings covered on a route while a guide narrates. Meeting points differ by tour: the Dead of Night Tour and Grave Tales Tour both start at Johnson Square, the Beyond Good and Evil Tour starts at the gates of Colonial Park Cemetery, the Haunted Pub Crawl starts outside Churchill's Restaurant on West Bay Street, and the Bonaventure Cemetery Tour starts at the cemetery itself, a roughly 15-minute drive from downtown.
The Bonaventure Cemetery Tour is described by the operator's own FAQ as a history and beauty tour of the cemetery's grounds and notable burials rather than a ghost tour, distinguishing it from the other four Savannah products.

Each Savannah tour is built around a different cluster of the operator's stated material. The Beyond Good and Evil Tour is framed around locations tied to the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil — the Hamilton-Turner Inn, 432 Abercorn Street, and the Mercer-Williams House — alongside Colonial Park Cemetery, which the operator describes as holding centuries of the city's dead. The Dead of Night Tour covers the same cemetery plus Wright Square and Six Pence Pub, billed by the operator as its most intense route.
The Grave Tales Tour opens at the Marshall House, which the operator's page states served as a hospital during Savannah's yellow-fever epidemics and the Civil War, and continues to Madison Square. The Bonaventure Cemetery Tour, by the operator's own description, is presented as history and scenery rather than ghost stories — the guide covers notable burials and the cemetery's live oaks. The Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl is built around four historic taverns the operator markets as haunted, starting from Churchill's Restaurant, though the operator's page does not name the other three stops.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
