Our guide was entertaining and informative. For those, like myself, who hate being overrun by fellow tourists, this is a great tour. The cemetery itself has a real aura of peacefulness.
It was an excellent combination of history and beauty. The grounds and location were beautiful. The guide's knowledge and enthusiasm was perfect.
Rich gave the tour and was fantastic. His knowledge of the site made it worthwhile. He was excited about the history of the city and the cemetery. The morning was extremely hot and he took time to bring cold water back for my wife. His compassion alone would make me recommend them beyond five stars. Thanks Rich for making our bonaventure tour a great memory.
Thank heavens there is a no-cancellation policy - yes, really! We started to rethink booking this tour, but no regrets now since this is one of our best memories of Savannah. Tour guide Dawn also of 6th World Sense was interesting, informative, and delightfully entertaining. She sang a medley of songs by songwriter Savannah native Johnny Mercer. Who knew that we were so familiar with his works! This tour is well worth your time and money.
Very interesting tour. Shannon Scott shared a lot of information with our small group. He was very knowledgeable.
Shannon Scott should win an award for his amazing story telling abilities. He made the dead come alive for us as we toured this beautiful old cemetery with all of it's amazing monuments, plantings and dead people! This tour is more than just your average cemetery tour. There is such beauty all around you as you walk through and the carved monuments are truly works of art. Shannon was fabulous and he made this a very special tour for the four of us. It was a rather cold start to the day so our walking tour became a driving tour as Shannon was keeping in mind our comfort. Thank you, Shannon. We hope that we will return to Savannah again some day and we will definitely be doing this tour again, especially if it's with you! Mary, Mike, Ann and Clay
Shannon was an extraordinary guide. Exciting, dramatic, historic. We were so happy we took his tour and highly recommend it! It was one of our favorite experiences of the trip.
Shannon Scott is extremely knowledgeable and very interesting to listen to. We learned a lot and would highly recommend his tour.
Lovely tour of a lovely cemetery. Lisa Marie was a charming host as we enjoyed one of Savannah's gardens.
This is a mixed review because there was a mix up in our reservation. The tour itself and our guide from Sixth Sense was excellent-- definitely 5 stars for sixth sense. Only problem is we booked with a different tour Shannon Scott and when they started checking us in they said Viator is a different group but there were no other groups there so we started to get concerned and my husband started walking around to try to find someone else. When our actual guide showed up he said that Shannon Scott didn't have enough for a group that afternoon and asked him to take us so it worked out in the end and as I said the tour was very good. However we have booked tours all over the world with Viator and never had any problem just excellent results. It would have been nice for our original tour guide to have sent us an email explaining the situation which we would have totally understood. That would have prevented a few quite unpleasant moments when we thought we were going to be abandoned and out our 50. We have always felt completely confident in booking with Viator-- and recommended you to others-- but our confidence now is just a bit shaken.
