Great day with Shannon!

This was an excellent tour! Shannon is extremely knowledgeable of general history, Georgia history, and of course detailed history of the cemetery itself. We learned a lot and got so much more out of the tour than we would’ve gotten if we had visited the cemetery on our own. I highly recommend this tour with Shannon!

Great tour and a slow relaxed pace. Our Guide, Susannah, was very funny and knew a lot of information. We relay enjoyed our time there. We had a great day and it was good for our family. We did not first understand where to meet our guide. There are round cement tables by the new restrooms to the side of the Cemetery Office. That is where we met. I would recommend it to others.

We had a blast on our tour. Susannah was extremely knowledgeable and was very interesting! We wandered around the cemetery beforehand and it added so much to everything to have the stories behind some of the deceased and the symbolism on the grave stones.

Shannon was a great guide. The 3 kids loved the stores and are begging to go in the ghost tour. If you love history and Savannah then a tour of Bonaventura Cemetery is worth it.
