Pickup details

I pick up at all hotels, B&B's, Inns and the many Trolley Stops around the Downtown Savannah area about 20 minutes before tour time. I call an hour before to give an exact pick up time. Pick up has to be in the Downtown Area (Historic District and Victorian District) at a loading zone or legal trolley stop. If you are not sure, just put in the address of where you are staying and I'll let you know the best place to get picked up. As long as you are in or close to my pick up radius downtown, I'll probably be able to get you at your VRBO or INN. I CANNOT pick up South of Victory Drive. It is just too far away to do pick ups in 20 minutes. You'd have to meet the group at Bonaventure Cemetery. Also, you may MEET THE TOUR at the cemetery. Please let me know what you want to do after you book your tour so I can make arrangements.

Tour Bonaventure with Tim

Caryn_G, Apr 2024

Tim was very knowledgable about the history of Savannah in general and the Bonaventure Cemetery in particular. He had many interesting stories to tell us about the cemetery's inception, its growth, its famous "tenants", and its notoriety from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. A thoroughly enjoyable morning spent touring the Bonaventure Cemetery. I highly recommend booking Tim for a tour.

Just being in the...

Just being in the environment with the Spanish moss blowing in the breeze and seeing all the wonderful testaments to lives lived.

Superb guide and an enlightening tour!! Thanks, Tim.

Pamela_C, Apr 2024

Tim was the most incredible guide. Being a Savanah native and a lover of all things history, he was informative, enlightening, friendly, professional, thoughtful, and so much fun!!! We learned so much and embraced Tim's enthusiasm. We hope to visit Savanah again.

Girls trip

Shelly_E, Apr 2024

The cemetery tour is very worthwhile. Tim was an excellent tour guide - he was great at communicating before the trip on arrival pickup time. He provided bottled water and bug spray for the tour and most importantly was very knowledgeable on Savannah History specifically related to the tour. He is a lifelong Savannah resident and was helpful in providing recommendations on restaurants and things to see. He even gave us an airport shuttle recommendation that turned out great! We were a group of 7 women who all agreed this was a highlight of our visit.

Bonadventure experience with Tim

Judy_R, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Tim was fabulous ! Tim provided fascinating accounts of Savannah history and the monuments and prominent people buried in Bonadventure Cemetery. We had great communication from him on his on-time pickup at our hotel……..and he accommodated everyone with whatever drop off location they needed on the return. It was a wonderful tour !

Great tour!

Laurie_M, Apr 2024

Tim is an amazing historian and guide. Bonaventure is so much more than a cemetery and he certainly brought it to life for our group. He picked us up at our motel and dropped us back as promised. He was very entertaining and knows so much about the history of Savannah and Bonaventure. The tour was two hours and I could have listened to him for another two hours! He had water for us, offered a bathroom break at tours end. Just a very considerate guide. I would highly recommend his tour, the transportation is such a nice bonus. I’d definitely do this tour again, I know I’d learn something new each time!

Bonaventure Cemetery

MaryJoh_G, Apr 2024

So informative and enjoyable. Our guide was top notch with information! It was a good size so all our questions were answered.

Excellent tour, beautiful setting, and exceptional tour guide and operator

felisa_g, Apr 2024

We highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about the history of Savannah while visiting a beautiful and unique setting. The tour guide and operator is exceptionally knowledgeable and delivers the information in an interesting way. He also went above and beyond to help us since we did not have a car in Savannah. He picked us up from our Airbnb address, made recommendations about restaurants in the area and also texted us after the tour to help us identify the free shuttle stop closest to our apartment. He really wanted us to enjoy our stay in Savannah. We really appreciate his care and dedication.

Fascinating time at Bonaventure Cemetery

Bridget_L, Apr 2024

We loved this tour. Tim had so much information at his fingertips. About Savannah as well as Bonaventure. The time zipped by and we could happily have carried on looking, listening and learning for hours more. Great sense of humour too and we would heartily recommend taking the tour
