Bonaventure Cemetery Tour - Chris was an outstanding tour guide at Bonaventure Cemetery. From the start he was warm and welcoming, and his knowledge of Savannah history and the cemetery's notable residents made the tour genuinely captivating rather than just informative. He kept the group engaged throughout with a great sense of humor. We visited during peak summer heat and humidity, and Chris came prepared, handing out water and bug spray to keep everyone comfortable. That kind of thoughtfulness made a real difference. Highly recommend booking with him if you're visiting Bonaventure.

Great Tour - We had a great tour. Steven was very knowledgeable about the history of the cemetery and the surrounding area. He kept it interesting and entertaining. He had great stories to tell. Although it was a very warm day, we had a lot of shady spots which helped. Our guide was so thoughtful -he even offered bug spray because we forgot ours. Yes there are bugs out there but it wasn’t bad. The tour lasted just under two hours and that was plenty of time to see so much.

Remarkable Knowledge - Dawn was our guide. She met us at the designated place, introduced herself and gave us a short explanation of how the tour would proceed. She has remarkable knowledge of cemetery history and the culture. Very animated and personable. We learned alot about the history through her personal knowledge.

Very nice tour of a beautiful cemetery - Very nice tour of a beautiful cemetery. Steven was very sensitive to the heat and tried to stay in the shade, while hitting most of the key plots. He was informative and entertaining.

Guide needs help from her manager - The guide was very knowledgeable on the things she repeated over and over again , it was Georgia in July and the weather was just what you’d expect, But the shade was plentiful, it was a little concerning at the way the guide kept herself cool , They won’t let me tell you or else they will ban my review But let’s just say it was inappropriate
