Step beyond the veil and into the haunting beauty of Bonaventure Cemetery, where crumbling angels keep silent watch beneath twisted oaks and trailing Spanish moss. On this daytime tour, you’ll wander a labyrinth of sorrow and splendor, tracing the lives—and lingering presence—of Savannah’s most storied souls. Among them, you’ll meet Little Gracie, the beloved child whose tragic death left behind a ghostly legend and a statue so lifelike it seems to breathe. In this garden of graves, the line between past and present blurs, and every monument whispers a tale of love, loss, and lingering spirits.
If you have 10 or more guests in one group, please get in touch with the private & group sales coordinator with Ghost City Tours.

Itinerary
Bonaventure Cemetery
90 min
Uncover the eerie elegance of Bonaventure Cemetery, where every stone tells a story and every path leads deeper into Savannah’s shadowed past. Visit the grave of Little Gracie, the city’s most beloved—and most ghostly—child, whose hauntingly lifelike statue draws mourners and the curious alike. Decode the hidden meanings carved into Victorian tombs—roses, urns, lambs, and weeping angels, all whispering tales of grief, faith, and remembrance. Along the way, stand before the final resting places of Savannah’s most famous historical figures, from poets and politicians to war heroes and eccentrics, and feel the weight of history in the stillness around you. It’s not just a cemetery—it’s a cathedral of Southern Gothic memory.

Highly recommend
We took the walking tour of Bonaventure Cemetery, and it was wonderful! Alex was so knowledgeable about the history of Savannah and the cemetery. Her enthusiasm and friendly personality made the tour both fun and informative.
Alex kept the group moving at a comfortable pace without ever making us feel rushed, and she took the time to answer everyone’s questions. You could really tell how much she enjoys sharing the history and stories of Savannah. We thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend this tour.

Casa Azul
Casa azul was a great property for the family. Plenty of room and pool was excellent to hang around. A few blocks walking to the beach and downtown. It was perfect for our family gathering.

Great history tour of a gorgeous cemetery!
Such an interesting and informative tour! We had Alex as our tour guide and they were SO knowledgeable and made the tour very fun. It was great to have a guide that was genuinely interested in what they were showing. It is a walking tour and it was in the middle of the Georgia heat wave - so come prepared with water and maybe a fan! There are some shaded spots but some of the tour was right out in the sun. The history of this cemetery is unreal and we had an amazing time and were talking about all the things we learned for the rest of the day. Also - bring good walking shoes! All in all, a 5/5 experience!
Operator response

We also appreciate the helpful tips for future guests about the Georgia heat, water, and good walking shoes! We’re so glad you left still talking about everything you learned. Thanks for joining us and for the 5/5!

The tour was great! It wasn’t a big group but it was nice that way. The tour guide was amazing. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about the cemetery. Next time I visit Savannah, I will definitely be doing another tour. Not just with the cemetery but the other tours provided by this company!
