Bringing the Cemetery to life - Pasqual Miller, our guide, was absolutely incredible. His wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm was amazing. He welcomed questions and had a great sense of humor. We would highly recommend this tour with Pasqual. I can't imagine doing it with anyone else!

Amazing Tour - I wasn’t too sure if this would be something I enjoyed or not but my husband wanted to do the tour. It turned out to be an incredible experience. I learned so much about the history. It was a beautiful place and the history behind the architecture is amazing. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and an exceptional speaker. I would definitely recommend visiting this area if you have the opportunity.

Best tour I've been on! - Such a great experience! I wasn't sure what to expect, I've never toured a cemetery before. I'm so glad I chose to do a guided tour or I would have been so lost. Our guide, Rich Lane, was amazing!! I highly recommend this tour, this guide, and this company to anyone that asks!! Would love to do another one.

Captivating tour of Bonaventure Cemetery - Janine was a fabulous tour guide. She walked us through a 2 hour tour of the historic section of the cemetery. Her sincere enthusiasm about Bonaventure Cemetery and those buried there made the tour interesting to our group. You can't go wrong taking the tour with her.

Cemetery tour - I loved learning fun historical facts about Savannah and the cemetery in particular! Rich is a good story teller and we had a great time!
The only thing I think they can improve upon is being more specific where to meet. There was some confusion there and when I asked for help at the visitors center they had no idea from looking at the tour details what to tell me. When you’re from out of town you want to have a clear understanding of where to go.
