Historical adventure! - Dawn is an excellent tour guide-- and musically talented! I enjoyed learning all the historical residents of Bonaventure Cemetery. A great way to spend the morning enjoying the history and the cool temps.

Serenaded by Dawn - Tour guide Dawn was amazing throughout but especially when singing a medley of Johnny Mercer songs at his graveside to honor him and his niece, Nancy, who was her friend in life and death!

Bonaventure History - Steven was an excellent guide - we enjoyed learning about the history of the cemetery and what each of the subtleties entailed. This was more historical than a haunted tour - and that was exactly what we were looking for!

Beautiful and captivating - I have a background in art history and have been to Savannah many times but never made the trip all the way over to the east side to Bonaventure. This was the trip! Dawn, our guide, was incredibly informative and knowledgeable in helping the group understand why something looks the way it does, symbolism, etc. Her stories of the folks that now reside in "the garden" are captivating and relatable. While I took this tour before lunch time, I'd love to take it again at night!

Great experience - The tour was very interesting. The cemetary is beautiful. The road through looks exactly like the picture with the live oak trees and Spanish moss.
