Our tour guide was very... - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on everything from start to finish. We enjoyed having options for lunch on our own, being in a centralized area. Had we ventured out on our own, we wouldn’t have learned as much of the history and stories our guide provided.

Ahhh - First the good! Five stars is for Dennis our driver only, he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, pleasant and funny. His love for the tour really showed though. If you’re looking for a lot of great historic information in a short period of time he is your guy. The cemetery was an absolutely stunning and beautiful place with amazing stone carvings on many headstones. The restaurant for lunch was some of the best BBQ I have had in a while. Now for the bad. 3 stars for the misleading trip. We didn’t receive a 360° panoramic bus as depicted in the photos of this trip on this website. If you are picturing in your head that you will be pulling up to a vast beautiful manicured lawn with a white mansion on the property you will be greatly mistaken. Oak avenue opens up to a small parking lot with a very small museum. Then you will take a walk down the trail to see the ruins of the tabby made fort walls. Before heading back to the bus.

Great experience - I truly loved the experience we had in this tour. Our guide, Dennis was very friendly, knowledgeable of the history of the cemetery and Wormsloe and Savannah in general. He made us all feel comfortable and made sure we enjoyed the experience. I recommend this tour and if you can request Dennis by name, you won’t regret it.

A Must - Tim was an amazing tour guide! The drive to the sites was easy and well air conditioned in the van. Bonaventure and Wormsloe are unbelievably full of history. Just wish I had more time to spend looking at every gravesite!!

Terrible tour - Terrible bus ride. Tour guide unengaging, slow and shared too many personal stories. Didn’t pull up to pick us up at the park welcome center. Walked in the rain to bus.
