Informative but cheesy. Our guide tried but I think she had other things on her mind. If I had to go again I would pick another tour. When they tour completed she said we are done. Head that way. Then we all got lost after walking forever. Loved the cemetery not the tour.

Our tour guide, Jessica was amazing. She works for Shannon and they do a lot of research on Bonaventure including contacting the plot family to find out the stories. As a trained librarian and artist, Jessica was very knowledgeable about the history of Savannah, Bonaventure, how cemetery plot worked and stories behind the sculptures. I don't remember the dates, but I remember the stories because they were fascinating and Jessica painted a clear picture for us. I'm glad the weather was cool and nice that we didn't need a bug spray. We ended up walking 2 hours stopping at many plots on a leisurely pace. Highly recommend this tour.

Interesting, but no time management

Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting. Only minus was that she spent too much time telling us about a very few sites and ran over the scheduled 2 hour time by 45 minutes. Would have preferred to have shortened spiels about many more of the great sites in the cemetery.
