The cemetery was beautiful. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining!!
Dear Jen, thank you for the wonderful review. Bonaventure is truly a beautiful place, and we’re so glad your guide made its fascinating history as entertaining as it was informative. Thank you for spending part of your day exploring with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Savannah adventure on a future visit.
Good value for price. Our guide had plenty of history to offer. He leaned a little too much into the corny dad jokes, but he was transparent about it so no harm no foul. He offered bug spray which was a genius idea.
Dear Joseph, thank you for the review. We’re glad you found the tour a good value and enjoyed the history shared along the way — even if a few of the dad jokes earned a groan! Savannah’s mosquitoes can certainly be memorable too, so we’re glad the bug spray came in handy. We appreciate you spending part of your visit exploring Bonaventure with us and hope to see you again on another Savannah adventure.
Dawn was great. She showed true knowledge of the history. We enjoyed learning about the history.
We appreciate the kind words about Dawn. Her knowledge of Bonaventure always shines through.
Really enjoyed this tour with Chris around the beautiful Bonaventure Cemetary in Savannah. Super friendly and enthusiastic guide who was happy to interact and answer questions as we spent a couple of hours wandering around the graveyard. The only thing we noticed was that after then doing some additional reading following the tour, some uncomfortable history was omitted when it came to the North/South divide - one example being, the aftermath of Sherman's march down to Savannah which could have added context to why the South was 'bitter to the end' - we travelled from overseas and don't have a horse in the race on these topics, so whilst expected nowadays, is always interesting. Great morning though and would absolutely go again.
Thank you for joining Chris at Bonaventure. There has always seemed to be a great divide, which carries to this day. Hope to see you again on another Savannah adventure.
It was a wonderful tour! Dawn was a fantastic guide, filled with so much information and love for Savannah and sharing it's history. Would absolutely recommend!
Bailley, thank you for the recommendation. We're glad Dawn shared her love of Savannah's history with you. Come see us again when you're back in town.
Chris was an outstanding tour guide at Bonaventure Cemetery. From the start he was warm and welcoming, and his knowledge of Savannah history and the cemetery's notable residents made the tour genuinely captivating rather than just informative. He kept the group engaged throughout with a great sense of humor. We visited during peak summer heat and humidity, and Chris came prepared, handing out water and bug spray to keep everyone comfortable. That kind of thoughtfulness made a real difference. Highly recommend booking with him if you're visiting Bonaventure.
It's great to hear Chris made the history captivating and kept everyone comfortable in the summer heat. Thank you for recommending him.
Excellent tour with Dawn! She gave a great perspective on culture, history, and burial traditions. Learned a lot on the 2 hour walking tour!
We're happy Dawn brought the history and burial traditions to life. Thank you for joining us.
We had a great tour. Steven was very knowledgeable about the history of the cemetery and the surrounding area. He kept it interesting and entertaining. He had great stories to tell. Although it was a very warm day, we had a lot of shady spots which helped. Our guide was so thoughtful -he even offered bug spray because we forgot ours. Yes there are bugs out there but it wasn’t bad. The tour lasted just under two hours and that was plenty of time to see so much.
We're happy Steven kept it interesting on a warm day. Thank you for the kind words.
We had a great time during our tour of the Bonaventure cemetery. Stephen was a great guide and extremely informative and made it a lot of fun. We definitely recommend this experience.
Deborah, thank you for recommending the tour! We're happy you enjoyed your time at Bonaventure with Steven. We look forward to seeing you again soon on one of our many Savannah adventures.
Dawn was our guide. She met us at the designated place, introduced herself and gave us a short explanation of how the tour would proceed. She has remarkable knowledge of cemetery history and the culture. Very animated and personable. We learned alot about the history through her personal knowledge.
Thank you for the kind words about Dawn of Savannah's Dead. We're happy her knowledge of cemetery history and culture came through. If you'd like another Savannah experience, we'd be glad to see you again.
