REVIEW · SAVANNAH AUDIO TOURS
Self Guided Audio Ghost Tour in Savannah in 6 Languages
Savannah’s haunted side is easy to sample with this $5 self-guided audio tour, which begins at the infamous Mercer-Williams House and sends you toward the city’s most haunted locations. You use your own phone, choose from six languages, and move at your own pace.
I like the low price and the seven-day validity, since you are not tied to one evening. I also like the language range, especially the inclusion of Hindi, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese. The tradeoff is simple: there is no live guide, and the full walking route and total listening time are not stated.
Key points
- Start at Mercer-Williams House: Begin at one of Savannah’s best-known haunted addresses.
- Choose from six languages: Audio is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese.
- Use your own smartphone: Redeem your booking at GhostTour.fun and follow the homepage instructions.
- Enjoy seven days of access: You can fit the tour around meals, sightseeing, and other plans.
- Hear music with the narration: Background music adds atmosphere to the evening walk.
- Pay only $5 per person: This is an inexpensive way to add a ghost-themed activity to a Savannah stay.
Starting at Mercer-Williams House

The tour begins at Mercer-Williams House, a useful choice for both atmosphere and orientation. The house is one of Savannah’s most famous addresses, and its name is closely tied to the city’s ghost-story reputation.
You do not need to meet a guide here. Instead, open the Ghost Tour Fun website, log in, and begin the audio experience from your smartphone. That makes the start flexible, but it also means you should take a few minutes before arriving to confirm that your phone can access the site.
The instructions are important. The website address shown in a booking email, text message, or voucher may not always load correctly. The required starting point is www.ghosttour.fun, where you follow the directions on the homepage.
If you reach the website successfully, most people can start within two or three minutes. A 24-hour help chat is available on the site, and the provider’s voicemail gives the website address if you need it by phone.

Following Savannah’s haunted route

From Mercer-Williams House, the audio tour guides you toward several of Savannah’s most haunted locations. The supplied details do not name each stop or provide a detailed map, so you should not expect a published stop-by-stop itinerary in advance.
That lack of detail can be a drawback if you like to plan every corner of a walk. On the other hand, it leaves room for a more relaxed outing. You can listen, walk, and take in the city without keeping up with a group or watching the clock for a scheduled departure.
The route is a walking experience, not a bus tour or a staged performance. You should be ready to move between locations while listening through your phone. Since the total walking time is not specified, allow room in your evening rather than treating the activity as a precisely timed attraction.
Savannah’s old streets are particularly suited to this format. Audio lets you look at the buildings and public spaces while the narration supplies the ghost stories. The background music adds a little theater without requiring actors or special effects.
What the audio format adds

A self-guided tour gives you control. You can start when it suits you, pause when you want a photograph, and take a break for dinner or a drink. The seven-day validity is especially useful if rain, heat, or a crowded schedule changes your plans.
You can also repeat sections or continue another day. The activity information does not state the exact length of the walking route, but the seven-day access window means you are not forced to complete it in a single sitting.
This format is also quieter than a traditional group ghost walk. There is no guide leading a crowd, no fixed departure time, and no need to listen over other people. If you prefer private sightseeing, that is a real benefit.
The limitation is the same one that comes with any phone-based tour. Your experience depends on your device, internet access, and ability to follow the online instructions. If you arrive without checking the site first, you may spend part of your evening sorting out access instead of hearing ghost stories.
Six languages for a wider audience

The audio tracks are offered in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese. That is one of the tour’s strongest practical features.
Many walking tours offer only English, sometimes with one additional language. Here, you can choose a language that makes the stories easier to follow and more enjoyable to share with family or friends. The language selection also makes the activity useful for mixed-language groups, since each person can listen on their own phone.
The tour information does not identify individual narrators or guides. You should therefore think of this as a recorded audio product rather than a personal storytelling session. If you want questions answered on the spot or local conversation with a guide, choose a live tour instead.
Background music plays with the narration. It helps create the right mood, though listeners who prefer a plain spoken historical walk may find the music less essential. You can decide how much atmosphere you want by adjusting your phone’s volume.

Why the $5 price matters

At $5 per person, this is one of the easier Savannah activities to add without reshaping your budget. The price is low enough for a family, a pair of friends, or a solo visitor who wants a short evening plan.
Value depends on what you want. If you are looking for a polished production with actors, a live guide, or a long explanation at every stop, this will not replace a premium ghost walk. If you want a simple way to see haunted locations while hearing themed audio, the cost is hard to argue with.
The price also works well as a trial. You can add the tour to a day already centered on Savannah’s historic streets, then decide how much time you want to give it. Since access lasts seven days, you do not lose the booking if you choose to pause and return later.
The low cost does not remove the need to check the practical details. You still need a smartphone and must reach the correct website. The experience is delivered online, so it is not a ticket you simply show at Mercer-Williams House.
Planning the timing around your visit

The activity is valid for seven days, but no fixed tour length or standard start time is provided. You should check availability for starting times when booking, then use the access window to fit the walk into your schedule.
An evening start seems natural for a ghost-themed outing, and the activity works as a short evening activity when you want something beyond dinner. Still, do not assume that the route is complete in a specific number of minutes. The available information does not give a total walking distance or a precise duration.
You can use the tour as a standalone plan or place it beside other Savannah sightseeing. Starting at Mercer-Williams House gives you a clear landmark, while the self-guided format lets you adjust the pace. If you are already moving around central Savannah, the flexible setup may be more useful than a scheduled group departure.
Bring the phone you plan to use for the audio. Before heading out, open GhostTour.fun and read the homepage directions. That small step can prevent the main access problem reported in the instructions: a booking link that fails to load correctly.
Accessibility and practical comfort
The activity is listed as wheelchair accessible. That is helpful, though the available information does not describe the surface conditions, slopes, restroom access, or the accessibility of every location along the route.
Because this is a walking tour, you should consider your own comfort and the route’s unstated length. If you need exact information about pavement, distances, or stopping points, contact the provider before starting.
You control the pace, which is useful for anyone who needs pauses. You can also stop the audio and continue later within the seven-day validity period. Those features make the self-guided format more adaptable than a fixed group walk, even though the route details are limited.
Who will enjoy this tour most
I would choose this for a budget-minded visitor who wants a ghost-themed activity without paying for a full guided production. It also suits independent sightseers who dislike fixed schedules and families or friends who want to listen at their own pace.
The six language choices make it a strong option for international visitors and multilingual groups. Each person can use the language that works best, rather than relying on one guide or one shared narration.
It is less suitable if you want a local guide who can answer questions, adjust the story to the group, or provide a detailed account of every building. The supplied itinerary does not name all stops, and there is no live guide included.
The activity may also feel too simple for someone expecting a theatrical ghost show. Its appeal is the combination of low cost, flexible timing, and atmospheric audio, not a cast of performers or a large production.
Booking, cancellation, and access tips
You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. The reserve-now, pay-later option lets you hold a place without paying immediately, which helps if your Savannah plans are still shifting.
After booking, go directly to www.ghosttour.fun and follow the instructions on the homepage. Do not rely only on the link in an email, text message, or voucher if it does not open correctly.
Most people can begin within two or three minutes once they reach the correct site. If you have trouble, use the 24/7 help chat or contact the company through the purchasing provider.
Should you book the Savannah ghost tour?
Book it if you want an inexpensive, flexible audio walk that starts at Mercer-Williams House and covers Savannah’s haunted locations in your choice of six languages. At $5, it offers good value for a short, atmospheric addition to your visit.
Skip it if your priority is a live storyteller, a clearly published stop-by-stop route, or a stated total walking time. The experience is deliberately simple. For the right person, that simplicity is the point: open your phone, choose your language, follow the route, and let Savannah’s ghost stories fill the evening.
