I learned a lot - Our guide, Steven, was knowledgeable, interesting, and respectful. He did not talk about anything about the cemetery being haunted. He instead spent his time telling us about the many things that make Bonaventure Cemetery so interesting. My wife and I really enjoyed this trip.

LOVED THIS TOUR! VERY INFORMATIVE! DESIGN AND DETAIL OF THE PLOTS AND STONES WAS AMAZING! - We LOVED this tour and thoroughly enjoyed the knowledge and humor of our guide Steve. He had so much information to share and was passionate about the stories and information he passed on to us. The stories of the lives of the people and families buried in the cemetery were amazing. The history of the stone designers and crafts people were incredible. He pointed out a wide variety of burial plots and stones along with the many believes and folk lore that was associated with death and with those of different faiths. WELL WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY.
