Go! - I go on a lot of tours & Steve is the best guide I’ve had. He clearly cares about the lovely cemetery & is so respectful of those laid to rest. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t do stand-up comedy or theater. Informative and entertaining. So many interesting stories & truly beautiful place to see. Highly recommend!

Great tour, great guide - Steven was a very knowledgeable guide, and I enjoyed his dad jokes. He generously provided us with umbrellas since we weren't prepared for the rainy weather.

Quintessential Southern Gothic - Featured prominently in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Bonaventure Cemetery is a must-see stop for visitors hoping to capture the quirky charm of John Berendt's bestseller. Chris was a delightful and engaging tour guide, telling fascinating stories about the cemetery's residents, and even providing bug spray for those who needed it, which was all of us.
