Visite de groupe après les heures d'ouverture du cimetière Bonaventure de Savannah

Aperçu
Savannah SEULEMENT après les heures d'ouverture, visite du cimetière! Dirigée par Shannon Scott, cette tournée spécialisée pour adultes plonge dans des couches de sujets de société secrète, de travail rituel de médecin racine, de gangsters, de contrebandiers, d'amants meurtriers et d'autres joyaux d'histoires clandestines que Scott définit comme «les contes tabous» de Bonaventure. Pour les fans de Midnight In The Garden of Good & Evil ? C'est le spectacle ultime alors que vous parcourez les terrains discutés dans le roman où de nombreux personnages sont maintenant enterrés et, selon les attentes, racontés d'une manière très personnelle et non conformiste par le barde de Bonaventure, Shannon Scott !

Bonaventure Cemetery
During this 2.5 hour tour, you will be joining a very exclusive club of people who have seen the cemetery after it closes to the public. Not since it opened in 1846 has this been an opportunity, but thanks to your very special local host, now it is. You are literally locked in the cemetery the entire time; for the right taker, there's no price you can put on the joy of that. Imagine having the serenity, stillness, and quiet of the cemetery, uninterrupted by the living world. Stories stretch from the present day all the way back to Bonaventure's plantation beginnings in 1754. Our topics range from the funny and uplifting to the macabre at its most morbid. Some of the stories that will be covered include those of: • A "hooch runner" for Al Capone • A bizarre love story that ended in one murder and one visit to the electric chair • Savannah's role in The DaVinci Code • Lady Minerva & Jim Williams in Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil

Cimetière Bonaventure
Au cours de cette visite de 2,5 heures, vous rejoindrez un club très exclusif de personnes qui ont vu le cimetière après sa fermeture au public. Ce n'était pas une opportunité depuis son ouverture en 1846, mais grâce à votre hôte local très spécial, c'est maintenant le cas. Vous êtes littéralement enfermé dans le cimetière tout le temps ; pour le bon preneur, il n'y a pas de prix que vous pouvez mettre sur la joie de cela. Imaginez avoir la sérénité, l'immobilité et la tranquillité du cimetière, ininterrompu par le monde vivant. Les histoires s'étendent de nos jours jusqu'aux débuts de la plantation de Bonaventure en 1754. Nos sujets vont du drôle et édifiant au macabre dans sa forme la plus morbide. Certaines des histoires qui seront couvertes incluent celles de: • Un « hooch runner » pour Al Capone • Une histoire d'amour bizarre qui s'est terminée par un meurtre et une visite à la chaise électrique • Le rôle de Savannah dans The DaVinci Code • Lady Minerva et Jim Williams dans Minuit dans le jardin du bien et du mal

Every couple of years my closest girlfriends (over 30 years now) and I take a weekend road trip together. The last couple of trips have been to Savannah and I doubt we will ever go anywhere else because Savannah is such a fun and unique city to visit. We've toured almost every house so on this trip I suggested we try to find a Bonaventure Cemetery tour. I've loved Bonaventure for years and years, but I've never toured it. I did make my husband drive around the place for a couple of hours on our honeymoon (14 years ago) looking for Bird Girl, but that's another story. We didn't do too much research. We just googled it and booked it. We got lucky that it happened to be Shannon's tour! Shannon is a very charismatic storyteller! I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he had a strong theatre background. He made each story more interesting than the last. You can tell that he really enjoys his job and that makes the tour all that more enjoyable! He really knows his stuff! I learned so many cool things about this beautiful cemetery. I didn't want the tour to end! I wanted to know more and more! I cannot sing this tour's praises enough! I can't wait to return with my husband and teen daughters! They will love taking this tour. I can't imagine any other tour being as awesome as this one was! If you are planning a cemetery tour I highly recommend you choose Shannon Scott's tour! A note though - this is nearly a 3 hour walking tour. If you have any type of orthopedic issues (mine are ankle and hip) or disabilities you need to prepare to be walking for that length of time! This is not a tour you wear heels on. Don't get me wrong, it's totally worth it and I'm proud that I made it through, but wear your walking shoes and bring some water and Tylenol! Hahaha! A+++++ all the way!

While in Savannah with a large group of college friends, we were privileged to do a private After-Hours tour of Bonaventure with Shannon. He was an excellent and knowledgeable host who made the stories and secrets of the cemetery come to life. I have always been fascinated with old cemeteries and their stories, and this was the best! It was so peaceful being in the cemetery as night fell and walking among the trees draped in Spanish Moss. Shannon's love of Savannah and history shone through as he spoke, and we were all captivated. The stories he told were not silly or "fake-scary" but interesting tales of real people who had walked where we were walking. I came away eager to return to Savannah and explore Bonaventure in more depth!

My husband and I were looking for something different to explore on our most recent trip to Savannah when we came across this tour, the highest ranked cemetery tour in town. Intrigued, we booked our tickets not knowing what to expect. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised! We did the morning tour at 10 am on a perfectly foggy and gloomy morning. At Shannon's arrival we immediately got a sense that not only did he know his history, but also that he himself was a fan of the fascinating background stories of the extraordinary people buried at Bonaventure. As we walked through the graves we discovered the beauty and magical appeal of the place, and thanks to Shannon we were pointed at all the symbology and beautiful craftsmanship found at this massive grave site. But was sold us on the tour was his passion for thorough research, his great orator skills, and masterful storytelling. Shannon was quick to ease us into picturing the past, sprinkling each of his tales with detailed insights and multiple references. His tour (a 2.5 hour love affair with Bonaventure) was an absolute delight, transporting us to multiple eras and unearthing mind blowing secrets buried only in history books and forgotten records. A true keeper of the buried history of Bonaventure, Shannon's tour is not to be missed! We had to create a trip advisor account to give Shannon a well deserved excellent review. Next time we pass by Savannah we are booking his Dinner Tour!

Well what can I possibly say to return such a compliment to what I do? Wow. I think I can retire now! Your right, Bonaventure is full of story treasure and I've been one of the hunters and mappers of it for a very long time. And no, not afraid to share the booty with me tour mateys! And as you yourselves discovered, this tour is about the heart and soul of Savannah while also being a platform to discuss the nation, the world, culture, politics and so many things that are just as much current, as they are the past. I like to remind people that 100 years ago is just at the end of an arm's reach. 200 years ago you can still lay your hand on Bonaventure's trees and a few monuments that survive from the period. Its literally the living history of the dead come alive and in some ways, never really went anywhere. Anyway, such a gem of a compliment to receive here at the end of 2015 and look forward to carrying all of this into the next!
