Great Tour of Bonaventure Cemetery, Wormsloe, etc. with Dennis - Dennis was our guide and he was fantastic. Pickup was across the street a short distance from our hotel, River Street Inn. Bonaventure Cemetery was beautiful and Dennis was very knowledgeable with regard to the various gravesites and interesting facts. After leaving the cemetery, we stopped at a Low Country restaurant. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. We then proceeded to Wormsloe Historic Site. Great photo ops but the sandflies about ate us up. Bring spray or buy it there. Final stop was Byrd Cookie Company, where there was a great variety and the samples were plentiful. We came home with a bag of the Scotch Oatmeal and also the Key Lime. Dennis gave us a lot of good information about sights we saw along the way and made it a great time for us. Highly recommend this tour with Dennis.

Wonderful day exploring some historic places in Savannah! - This tour was great from the beginning to the end. Our tour guide, Dennis was a true southern gentleman. Very warm and welcoming to his beautiful city of Savannah. He was a wealth of knowledge about the history of the Wormsloe National Park and the Bonaventure Cemetery. Both very beautiful areas. We had a stop for lunch where we got to try fried green tomatoes, which were amazing! Last stop was the famous Byrd Cookie store, to sample their famous cookies! We throughly enjoyed our day.

The Best Cemetery - That there is no plantation house to tour on the Wormsloe Plantation, other wise the tour is great. The BonaVenture Cemetery is very interesting, and we had an excellent tour guide! All the Azalea's were in bloom
