Having picked you up at 9:30 am from the Savannah Visitor Centre. we'll drive to the Bonaventure Cemetery. Did you know that it's considered one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world?
During the guided tour of this cemetery, which dates back to 1846, we'll walk among moss-covered oak trees that cast shade over the beautiful, 19th-century funerary monuments. The sculptures that adorn the tombstones emanate a remarkable realism and expressiveness that we're sure you'll love.
