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.

I knew going on the tour would be informative, and I was looking forward to hearing about the history of Bonaventure Cemetery, as I had previously been on my own and found that I "needed" to know more about the history and the people buried there. Shannon Scott did not disappoint. He is a fantastic story-teller and had all of us totally absorbed the second the tour started. I could tell he had a connection with the cemetery and I liked that. His personal stories were heartwarming and when we left, I felt like I had made a friend. I will recommend this tour every chance I get. People NEED to see Bonaventure Cemetery and Shannon Scott is the one to show it off.
