Bonaventure Cemetery is a 'must see' type of place....and to visit it at night is amazing. What a fantastic evening with our host, Shannon Scott, who regaled our group with facts and stories about the cemetery, the monuments and the social life of this beautiful city. Being a Savannah native I have seen and done most of the tours and visited the 'famous haunts'. This was an evening well spent hearing stories I had not heard before and learning many things about Bonaventure. Shannon has done a lot of research, it's evident he knows much about the stories and characters he brought to life in this fascinating walk through the ghostly trees of this hauntingly beautiful landmark. Not to be missed!!

Hello ~ I've taken quite a few tours in Savannah and all were great ~ but this one was extra special with Shannon Scott ~ take the tour for yourself and you will surely understand why. Great information and lots and lots of beauty, no doubt about that. Bonaventure Cemetery Journeys was my favorite tour ~ ~ Oh and I would recommend wearing your favorite walking shoes. Here is wishing you all a great time when you tour ~~ I did.
