Best two hours of my day! - Dawn was an excellent tour guide! She was very knowledgeable in the history in the area. She even sang a little montage of songs written by one of the famous songwriters located there.

Wonderful cemetery tour — a highlight of our Savannah visit - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this two-hour guided walking tour of Bonaventure Cemetery. The cemetery is a very short drive from the center of Savannah and is absolutely lovely. Our tour guide Chris was wonderful - extremely knowledgeable, very witty and passionate about the cemetery and its fascinating history. This tour should be part of any visit to Savannah.

Bonaventure Cemetery revisited - My husband and I had experienced Bonaventure Cemetery 13 years ago. We recently travelled to Savannah with my husband's brother and sister-in-law. They had not been to Bonaventure before. In my opinion, Bonaventure is a MUST. Our guide, Stephen, was clearly knowledgeable and entertaining.
