First time on a 'haunted' tour in Savannah and got the pleasure of having local expert author and storyteller Shannon Scott as our guide. It was a real memorable experience being able to enter into beautiful Bonaventure Cemetary 'after hours'. It has such a energy to it during the day, that at night, it definitely speaks to your senses in... More

second time with the Shannon Scott tour. first time was in the dark, this time was in the light on May 11th and I think I preferred it that way. I've looked at the map of the cemetery many times but until he pointed out the obvious I would never have noticed it on my own (I won't reveal what... More

We went on the Bonaventure After Hours tour with Shannon Scott, and it was great! If you think this is a ghost tour, don't even bother booking, it's a history tour about Bonaventure Cemetery and all the characters who are buried there. Shannon really knows his stuff and the two hours went by so fast, I didn't want it to... More

Shannon is everything they say. Most of all he is an amazing storyteller. He brought so many things about Savannah's past to life. This is a really worthwhile experience off the beaten path, not very far from the center of Savannah. You really cannot visit Savannah without Bonaventure in your itinerary. Make sure you go with Shannon as he really... More

We recently took the Bonaventure After Hours Tour - Bonaventure Journeys with Shannon Scott while on vacation in Savannah, GA. We have spent many hours in this cemetery, taking hundreds of photographs, reading many epitaphs and every time we're there we learn something new. But we had yet to take this tour until this vacation. I called Shannon on a... More

I've wanted to do Shannon's Scott's "after hours" tour of Bonaventure for a long time. This past Saturday my husband and I were able to spend a rainy evening, complete with thunder and lightening in the cemetery with Shannon. Shannon is a wonderful storyist, full of historical facts, as well as fun and humorists legends. It was evident that he... More

I came down for St. Patricks day weekend with my boyfriend who is origianlly from California. He is now in love with the city as... More

Long weekend visit to Savannah and did all of the tours (Hop On/Off trolley, Old Savannah Experience Tour, hearse ghost tour) and all of our tour guides got progressively better. On our last full day there, we scheduled the After hours Bonaventure cemetery. It was here that we met Shannon, the tour guide and owner, and I must say, it... More

This tour went well beyond our expectations! Rather than simply touring the usual famous 'residents', Shannon regaled the small group with many tales of Savannah's colorful history. Funny, interesting, engaging, factual, and informative. A must for anyone interested in history; an entertaining evening for everyone. Highly recommended!

I spent almost a whole day with Shannon in April, with for friends from Hong Kong and London. I love cemeteries and have wanted to tour Bonaventure ever since seeing the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". However I was concerned that in my zeal, I might have over-committed my friends (who are not cemetery geeks like... More
