The only FULL WALKING TOUR of Bonaventure Cemetery WITH TRANSPORTATION and most accurate Bonaventure Tour, bar none! Most other tours start at the gate and regurgitate a scripted tour of myth, legend, and flat out lies that was written to separate visitors from their money. With me, you get a 6th generation Savannahian and academically trained historian with 30 plus years in the Savannah hospitality business who has the inside scoop and who loves sharing the stories. All this and Southern Hospitality too! Door to door service from downtown or meet me at the cemetery if you'd rather drive yourself. Complimentary bottled water and everything else you'll need for a stroll through the oaks.

Explore historic Georgia without the hassle of navigating on your own on a half–day tour to two major landmarks that visitors to Savannah often miss: Fort Jackson, the oldest brick fort in the state, and Bonaventure, a cemetery set on a bluff overlooking the Wilmington River. Unlike most inflexible day tours, guests enjoy a midday break to relax and have lunch (own expense) before continuing on to the final stop.
