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.

Excellent tour, very informative and fascinating with a dab of humor. Slow, easy walk for 2 hours. Enjoyed the history, symbols and learning about the families of Savannah. Highly recommend Richard Hodges as your guide.

Our guide, Steve was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of history. It may sound morbid, but the cemetery was beautiful. The artwork used for the monuments and headstones was really pretty. Note: The "Bird Girl" is not here/ She's at Telfair Academy.

Too long for walk tour. No place to sit. Golf cart tour of cemetery
Is a much better option for this location,.

Highly recommend! Very interesting and informative tour. Our tour guide Dawn Martin was excellent, a native of Savannah. Loved hearing all of the history, and interesting stories she had to offer.

This was by far my favorite thing I did in Savannah. The guide knew so much history about the cemetery and people who are buried inside the gates. He explained symbols on graves and how to pick out artists who created headstones. It was so well worth the price. I chose to go at 10:00 a.m. so the weather wasn't so hot for me. I highly recommend doing this type of tour. I think you get more out of the walking tour if you can do it then taking the golf carts or driving around in a vehicle.
