    My friend and I were 5mins late. We informed the company, Ghost City Tours in advance when we were running late and wanted to contact the guide. No one was able to reach the guide and when we got to the cemetery we did not know where to go. We could have easily have caught up with the group but due to the inability to reach the guide we missed the experience. Ghost City Tours gave us a full credit to use at another experience but it was disappointing. Overall the company did a good job but rating 2 stars due to inability to reach the guide. Guides should be reachable atleast by the company.

    Great tour! Our tour guide (I forget his name) was wonderful. He told interesting and entertaining stories. All the adults and the kids ranging from 10-16yo were engaged. He spoke loudly and clearly. He was easy to hear even when standing at the back of the group. Definitely bring water!! The tour was only an hour and a half but it was unbelievably hot.

    Our guide Nick was great. The only bad part was the thunder storm that started about halfway through. Bring a sturdy umbrella if rain is in the forecast. We soldiered through the bad weather and learned some fascinating facts about the cemetery.

    I will never book a tour with ghost city tours ever again. My husband and I booked this walking tour for bonaventure on the last day of our trip. We were 5 minutes early and our guide was no where to be found. Another tour was there, Don with Bonaventure Don... his tour started at 11am as well and he was waiting for people and calling those who hadn't arrived yet. We asked him where we'd find our tour guide and he gestured to the front gate where there was no one... we walked around for a bit and couldn't find anyone... we called and they told us our tour guide, Nick, had left because we weren't there 15 minutes early like it had stated. Well unfortunately we had gotten lost and then when we did finally arrive could not find parking... we were probably there at 10:50 but couldn't find anywhere to park. We asked for a refund but were told it was against policy. What's frustrating is that we were willing to just catch up and find our guide but since we were apparently the only 2 who had booked, he just left... there was never an attempt to call us or text or find out where we were... if we were the only 2 on the tour, I feel they should have waited for us or made an attempt to reach out. Just because a tour says to arrive early doesn't mean you should leave before the tour even STARTS! They offered a voucher, but what good would that do us on our last day... With no refund or any apology or attempt to make it right or even transferring to talk to someone else, we were out our money... we filed a claim with our bank to cancel the charge but will never book with ghost city tours again. We had more help from the 2 ladies on the porch from the historical society who gave us a free map and told us all about the Graves we should visit. There's even an app where you can listen and walk yourself! Save your money and either do a self guided tour or spend a little more and book with Bonaventure Don who clearly goes above and beyond to make sure he waits for everyone on his tour. Josh who we spoke to on the phone was no help and super inconsiderate. The whole experience was a terrible way to end our trip.

    We really enjoyed this beautiful cemetery. Our guide ( sorry I forgot his name) was very knowledgeable and funny. He took the time to explain the history and stories of those buried there.

    Bonaventure Cemetery

    Uncover the eerie elegance of Bonaventure Cemetery, where every stone tells a story and every path leads deeper into Savannah’s shadowed past. Visit the grave of Little Gracie, the city’s most beloved—and most ghostly—child, whose hauntingly lifelike statue draws mourners and the curious alike. Decode the hidden meanings carved into Victorian tombs—roses, urns, lambs, and weeping angels, all whispering tales of grief, faith, and remembrance. Along the way, stand before the final resting places of Savannah’s most famous historical figures, from poets and politicians to war heroes and eccentrics, and feel the weight of history in the stillness around you. It’s not just a cemetery—it’s a cathedral of Southern Gothic memory.
