    Shannon Scott is THE expert on Bonaventure with a practically encyclopedic knowledge of the cemetery, its inhabitants, and history. I especially love the various Masonic references and deep dives he goes into. I Visit Savannah at least yearly and always make sure to catch this After Hours tour when I can. I had been on other Bonaventure Tours in the past, but they were nowhere as interesting or entertaining as Shannon Scott's. There's no one out there like he or this tour; and to be in Bonaventure after hours at Dusk is truly a magical experience. Highly highly recommend!!!!

    Great tour of the very unique Bonaventure Savannah cemetery. The tour takes place after the cemetery closes, so it's just the group, Shannon, and....... Shannon Scott is extremely knowledgeable of the area’s history and traditions which makes his stories entertaining and enjoyable to listen to. He includes symbology related to the common Egyptian, Greek, and Masonic images seen throughout the cemetery adding additional mystery and intrigue to this special location. The tour is probably best suited for adults as it’s a full 2-hour tour with subjects which may not be suitable for young people. Everyone in our group very much enjoyed the experience.

    Don't waste your money or your evening on the After Hours tour - show yourself around in the daytime instead, maybe get a self-guided audio tour if you want more context. But if you're interested in history or culture, I DON'T RECOMMEND. Why? Well, about a third of the way through the tour, we stopped at a grave and Shannon spent 15-20 minutes sharing some of the most batshit conspiracy theories I've ever heard. Some highlights include: - Humanity was born from the dust of Atlantis. - The three obelisks around this particular grave resonate with the harmonic pathways because they form a pyramid like the Pyramids of Giza (we actually passed a fourth obelisk further out, but apparently this one doesn't count for some reason) - The slightly raised portion of Savannah upon which the Cemetery stands was not made by volcanic sand being deposited by rivers over 11 million years, as actual scientists with degrees state. It was actually hand terraced by "the ancients" for celestial interdimensional purposes. - Academius (sic) has kept these truths hidden from us!! There was a lot more rubbish being spouted but that's what I remember. The worst part is that I spent the next two thirds of the tour suspicious of everything that came out of Shannon's mouth - if you're going to share your crackpot theories, at least wait till the end so your audience can trust the rest of your stories. I barely believed a single word he said for the rest of the tour - not what you want from a tour advertised as "perfect for history lovers." The cemetery is beautiful at sunset but it's not worth listening to Shannon's drivel.

    Bonaventure Cemetery

    During this 2.5 hour tour, you will be joining a very exclusive club of people who have seen the cemetery after it closes to the public. Not since it opened in 1846 has this been an opportunity, but thanks to your very special local host, now it is. You are literally locked in the cemetery the entire time; for the right taker, there's no price you can put on the joy of that. Imagine having the serenity, stillness, and quiet of the cemetery, uninterrupted by the living world. Stories stretch from the present day all the way back to Bonaventure's plantation beginnings in 1754. Our topics range from the funny and uplifting to the macabre at its most morbid. Some of the stories that will be covered include those of: • A "hooch runner" for Al Capone • A bizarre love story that ended in one murder and one visit to the electric chair • Savannah's role in The DaVinci Code • Lady Minerva & Jim Williams in Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil
