Description
The only FULL WALKING TOUR of Bonaventure Cemetery WITH TRANSPORTATION and most accurate Bonaventure Tour, bar none! Most other tours start at the gate and regurgitate a scripted tour of myth, legend, and flat out lies that was written to separate visitors from their money. With me, you get a 6th generation Savannahian and academically trained historian with 30 plus years in the Savannah hospitality business who has the inside scoop and who loves sharing the stories. All this and Southern Hospitality too! Door to door service from downtown or meet me at the cemetery if you'd rather drive yourself. Complimentary bottled water and everything else you'll need for a stroll through the oaks.

Pickup Locations & Times
I pick up at all hotels, B&B's, Inns and the many Trolley Stops around the Downtown Savannah area about 20 minutes before tour time. I call an hour before to give an exact pick up time. Pick up has to be in the Downtown Area (Historic District and Victorian District) at a loading zone or legal trolley stop. If you are not sure, just put in the address of where you are staying and I'll let you know the best place to get picked up. As long as you are in or close to my pick up radius downtown, I'll probably be able to get you at your VRBO or INN. I CANNOT pick up South of Victory Drive. It is just too far away to do pick ups in 20 minutes. You'd have to meet the group at Bonaventure Cemetery. Also, you may MEET THE TOUR at the cemetery. Please let me know what you want to do after you book your tour so I can make arrangements.

Great tour!
Picked us up. Narrated while driving. During the walking tour, many stories, facts, some enhanced stories, pointed out important people buried there. Much history as well as architectural history. Length was perfect!

A must do in Savannah!
Totally worth it! Our guide grew up in Savannah and his family has been here for many generations. His knowledge was extensive and he had so much personal insight. We were picked up promptly and dropped off anywhere we wanted to go. Our guide was very personable. It is a beautiful cemetery and added so much to our Savannah experience.

Tour guide Tim was very...
Tour guide Tim was very knowledgeable and fun. The van was clean, air conditioned, and Tim had cold bottled water for us. This ended up being one of our favorite adventures during our 5 day stay, and we did one or two each day. Bonaventure should not be missed.
