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.

Amanda_D

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.

Presentable tour guide, provided explanations from history, details of most prominent tombstones and showed their pictures too.

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.

We really enjoyed our tour with Paschal. He was really informative and passionate and the two hours flew by. His personal connection to Savannah and the cemetery was really interesting . I appreciate the extra effort he took to make sure we parked in the right location.

Thank you to Rich, our tour guide, for a captivating oration of the history and happenings at the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, GA. There are several tour operators providing cemetery tours and it would be hard for me to believe any one would have done a better job. Rich's experience showed as his stories were abundant with detail, humor, and historical antidotes. He was also respectful of the time spent at each plot so not to hold up approaching visitors and other guides. The tour began and ended on time. I would recommend Shannon Scott Tours and the next time I have visitors who want a Bonaventure tour - I'll be calling this company.
