About This Tour in Savannah

Since 2002, Shannon Scott and his gifted guides have shown visitors not just a cemetery, but an ancient burial ground transformed into an 18th-century riverside plantation, now a Victorian cemetery. You'll be awestruck by the beauty and characters buried here, but will marvel at the hidden meanings of esoteric, religious symbols adorning grave art, and how much of it connects to Savannah and our everyday lives. As much as this is a history buff's deluxe day out, Bonaventure is a haven for wildlife with over 100 daily bird species! It's not unusual to see varieties of owls, hawks, eagles, but also foxes and, at times, dolphins in the river! While a photographer's dream tour, for our film buffs, Bonaventure as a filming location stretches back to the Silent Film Era all the way up to modern-day Film & TV, and of course, is central to everything inspirational to Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil! By tour's end, you'll feel like a mini-expert and glad for the adventure!
