Historic Cemetery Tour plus! - This was a great tour - full of interesting tidbits of history and Savannah plus an understanding of the monuments in cemeteries.
Our guide Dawn was very knowable and a great speaker plus she sang us snippets of Johnny Mercer's songs at his gravesite. What more could you ask!

Bonaventure Cemetary - Take the tour 1st to learn the history and reasoning behind Bonaventure, then do your own walking/driving tour. Our tour guide Sara was very informative and showed us many of the historical and amusing sites within this extremely large and beautifully decorated cemetary.
