A Good Walk thru the Cemetery - Our tour leader Steve was very knowledgable about the history of the cemetery plus the Savannah area. He had a great sense of humor and told many interesting stories about people who are buried at this location. Plus we learned the significance of the symbols used at grave markers and stones. Very enlightening!

A must do adventure! 100 times better than a self guided tour - This was so much better than trying to navigate the cemetery on your own. My husband and I went on a self guided tour several years ago and just wondered around aimlessly. Really had no idea what to expect and thought it was just ok. We spent less than 30 minutes there because we were bored. We then decided to do a tour this year so we could better understand what exactly we were looking at. We really enjoyed our guide pointing out individual plots with some interesting details about their life and deaths. The stories really made it much more enjoyable. Chris was very knowledgeable, funny and took the time to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend bringing the bug spray - if you happen to forget they do sell in the gift shop.

Historic and beautiful! - We truly loved this tour experience. Our guide, Steven, was incredibly well versed and was both informative and very funny without being too campy. We wanted an informative walk through this historic old cemetery, not ghost tales, and were so happy with the tour. Don't forget your bug spray! But if you do, it's available for purchase at a very reasonable price in the shop. Don't miss this one. Five stars all the way!

Savannah trip - It was very very walkable. We stayed in historic district and everything we c wanted to see was within 1.5 miles either direction of us north or south. Food phenomenal every place! The Pink House was exceedingly spectacular. Olympia cafe fabulous quick stop anytime. Wexford Irish restaurant is to die for. Crystsl beer parlor was very very good. Several of the bars were fun for football game watching. We took the River cruise and history tour for 3 hours and it Was interesting and enjoyable. Did carriage ghost tour which was fun. We have planned another trip in December
