Great tour. - We thoroughly enjoyed our Bonaventure Cemetery tour with Hannah. Her depth of knowledge, including of so many Savannah people, families, and events, made the cemetery come alive (pun intended). Her enthusiasm was infectious, and we were frankly quite surprised when the two hours was over. We highly recommend this tour for a better understanding of interesting Savannah history.

Pick this tour - We loved this tour! Hanna was full of knowledge and very interesting stories! There didnt seem to be a question she couldnt answer, even about things not usually included on the tour. Having a historian do your tour is the way to go. Pick this one and request Hanna:)
