I Remember You - Borrowing a Johnny Mercer song title seems appropriate for visiting his final resting place. And our guide Chris Cook did a wonderful job of letting us in on Johnny's secrets and the others buried nearby. Chris is high energy and he injected many interesting and fun tales of the occupants buried at Bonaventure. We loved that he explained the meaning of many of the sculptures and inscriptions. We were thrilled to hear historical and creepy stories from the past. Highly recommend this tour. Bring water and an umbrella for shade. It can get hot in the summer walking amongst the dead.

Beautiful, historical Bonaventure Cemetery - We enjoyed our tour of the Bonaventure Cemetery! The guide was very knowledgeable and had.a great sense of humor. We definitely learned stories about the history of the grounds and the families that provided context and interest. It was impossible to stop taking pictures! The fact that the meeting location has restrooms and sells water was a plus. We were also offered the use of umbrellas for shade. Great experience!

Fantastic, Family Friendly Activity - I've visited Savannah many times but this was my first Bonaventure Cemetery tour. What a great way to spend the morning! Our tour guide Chris was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable about the cemetery's history and 'residents'. The tour is family friendly, affordable, and appropriate for all fitness levels. But bring water and sunscreen if visiting during the summer. Savannah heat and humidity in June is no joke.

Great tour - The guide makes all the difference. Chris was great. Self guided tours simply don’t have the same impact.

Fantastic experience - Hot day in an haunted cemetary! The pacing of the tour was right for all ages. Don’t be afraid to bring big spray and water. The avenue was unlike any century we’ve been to. Our tour guide, Captain Jack, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and funny!
