You will just see more and learn more than the average tour taker. As Bonaventure is over 200 acres, public tours only cover a fraction of that whereas these tours take you into off the beaten realms.

    Bonaventure Cemetery Experience IT!!

    A cemetery tour? At first I was a little skeptical when our local trip planner recommended it. Then i found that that Tauck Tours ( hgh end) includes Bonaventure in their Savannah itinerary. Very happy we decided to take this tour Our tour guides nom de plume was "Lady in Mourning" and she has a true love for the cemetery its history and its symbolism. We appreciated how she was able to convey this feeling and knowledge to us. Every city has a uniqueness and Bonaventure is that for Savannah. An excellent compliment to a history of Savannah walking tour.

    This is a Walking Tour

    I enjoyed the tour, but did not know it was a WALKING TOUR. It would be helpful to mention that in the description as we saw other tours in vehicles. It is two-hours of information, but I could only stand for a short period of time and had to return to my car after one hour.

    Response from the operator: Hi Carolyn. Glad you enjoyed the tour and sorry you had to leave early of course. As a matter of record, we have always and only promoted ourselves as a walking tour company for 24 years on any platform. We do some exceptional private tours by vehicle but no public ones as such. Take care.

    Great tour of Bonaventure Cemetery

    We took a Bonaventure Cemetery tour with Hannah as our guide. She was a fantastic tour guide. Friendly, incredibly knowledgeable with amazing stories as they pertain to the history of the cemetery. One of our very best tour experiences!

    Bonaventure Cemetery Private Day Tour with Shannon Scott: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.

    How much does Bonaventure Cemetery Private Day Tour with Shannon Scott cost?

    +

    Prices start at $450 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Savannah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bonaventure Cemetery Private Day Tour with Shannon Scott take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Savannah is not rushed.

    Is Bonaventure Cemetery Private Day Tour with Shannon Scott worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Savannah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bonaventure Cemetery Private Day Tour with Shannon Scott?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bonaventure Cemetery Private Day Tour with Shannon Scott suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bonaventure Cemetery Private Day Tour with Shannon Scott?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Savannah can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Savannah and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bonaventure Cemetery Private Day Tour with Shannon Scott start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Savannah within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Savannah?

    +

    Savannah is a walking city with a dense guide market, which means quality spread is wide. Historic district walks, Bonaventure Cemetery trips, trolley hop-on routes and ghost tours with tavern access make up most bookings. Outty Ranking leans on licensed-guide status and group size, since the squares get loud once a tour passes twenty people. On Outty we rank every Savannah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour, Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation, Haunted Savannah Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Savannah?

    +

    March to May for azaleas, or October to November for cool evenings. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Savannah?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
