This was our favorite part of our stay in Savannah. Steve, our tour guide, was the best! He kept it interesting and was a great storyteller. Even though it was a hot day, it seemed to go too fast bc we were intrigued the entire time. Would definitely book again!

Our tour guide was funny, informative and friendly. I deducted points because at one point/section I got bitten by a lot of mosquitoes. I was told someone at the gift shop said bug spray was available to purchase there, but I did not hear anyone say this or saw any spray. The website did not state bug spray was necessary, so I didn’t think anything of it. Thankfully, someone was able to share some of his bug spray. Towards the end, I felt rushed. The tour guide did come back to check on us and bring us back to our car.

The cemetery and stones were beautiful. Our tour guide, Steve, was excellent! He told us about the significance of the symbols and artwork on the stones. We got to see all of the most famous graves. He really knew his history and didn't try to sensationalize the stories. The pace was great and he kept us in the shade as much as possible. Do an early tour if you go in the summer.

Chris was a great guide; knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. We walked through the main part of the cemetery and saw the graves of many historic figures and scenes from MIDNIGHT AT THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. We recommend doing this tour

Learning the meanings of the different markings of the headstones and plots
The cemetery was beautiful and well shaded, for the most part
Would have beautiful in the spring when flowers were in bloom

This was our first Girl Scout troop’s adventure in Savannah and it was fab! Steven was so much fun & we learned so much! We could have walked through the cemetery on our own but we would have had no idea what we were actually seeing and it would have been a huge loss. Highly recommend this tour.
