Very interesting event-host very knowledgable. Picked us up at our hotel, took us through cemetery, explained a lot about the history of the place, provided water, answered questions, and brought us back.

Tim is a fantastic guide. He had interesting and accurate stories. The cold water was a plus. This was my favorite tour while in Savannah because of Tim’s great storytelling. This is a must do.

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.

Fantastic Tour

Alicia_F, Sep 2026

Very informative and interesting tour, with complementary water bottles and bug spray plus stops in the shade. Highly recommend!

Do this one!!

Tim is a fantastic guide. He had interesting and accurate stories. The cold water was a plus. This was my favorite tour while in Savannah because of Tim’s great storytelling. This is a must do.

Highly recommend the tour with Tim

Brian_B, Aug 2026

The cemetary itself is fascinating. We didn't really know what to expect but the wild grounds and the elegant tombs and trees draped with spanish moss created exactly the mood and ambiance we were hoping to find. But the best part was really the tour guide Tim, who is a local, and has a ton of personal experiences and anecdotes about the cemetary and Savannah itself.

Fantastic

lo_o, Aug 2026

Guide was amazing. Very informative and had all the small details of a 6th generation resident. A Savannah treasure. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic Cemetery Tour!

Phaedra_H, Aug 2026

Tim, with Dash Tours, was a fantastic tour guide! He knows the history of Bonaventure Cemetery and Savannah and is a great story teller. He was excited to answer all of our questions too. This was a wonderful tour!

Great tour

breigh_m, Jul 2026

Our guide was very informative and helpful. Communication was clear, tour pacing was perfect. We learned a lot and had plenty of time for questions and pictures. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off in a separate location for lunch when we were done.

GOOD TOUR....a lot of info.

SarahC_A, Jun 2026

THE GOOD: 1. GUIDE'S EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE: The guide is a local and has a great source of information and factual info about the stories of many grave sites. 2. AIR-CONDITIONED PICK UP: Very nice van and the guide is very accommodating to pick you up at your hotel. It was highly convenient. COULD BE IMPROVED: 1. 2-HRS OF INFO NON-STOP: I would limit it to the most interesting grave sites ( e.g. perhaps, choose 5 that are of most interesting and important ) and allow 20 mins of free walking around for tourists who want to explore on their own. Designate a meeting site after introducing the 5 most interesting graves ( 1 hr tops ) and then give 20 mins of free time to take photos and take it all in. Listening to extensive info with dates for 2 hrs can be a bit long in the hot sun. The tour can easily be 1.5 hrs. It should also be tailored to the crowd as there were some elderly in the crowd as well.

Highly recommend

Gina_L, Jun 2026

Tim was a great guide. He made sure we saw the most interesting and beautiful parts of Bonaventure. This is a must-do when visiting Savannah. And the Johnny Mercer music was a nice touch.

Guided Bonaventure tour

Kitty_C, Jun 2026

Great tour, make sure you take it. Tim was a wealth of stories and information. I got picked up at my BnB. It was so convenient.

Tim does it all

Crisann_P, Jun 2026

Tim does it all himself, communication, pickup and return, and his own research to provide an authentic experience. I really enjoyed the historical facts and stories. Highly recommend!!!

Interesting and Informative

Sara_G, Jun 2026

A great history lesson

Robin_S, Jun 2026

We really enjoyed this tour. The tour operator was very knowledgeable and we believe has a photographic memory given the details when asked. The cemetery is beautiful and very interesting given the times going back to Civil War era.

Awesome tour

Donna_S, Jun 2026

This was a very interesting tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the history. He had family ancestry of this area.

Don't miss the Bonaventure cemetery tour with Timothy Rowell

Greg_M, Jun 2026

Tim is a first class tour operator and guide. I believe he said he is sixth generation Savannahian. He communicated with us consistently preparing us and confirming pick up times and locations. His first hand knowledge of Savannah's history allow him to distinctly explain the difference between folklore and true history. We enjoyed every minute.

My Very favorite Tour!!! ...

Susan_F, Jun 2026

My Very favorite Tour!!! Nick texted me to tell me exactly when he would pick me up at my hotel. He knew Savannah and talked to us the entire way to the cemetary. He told us so many things... and all from memory! Really enjoyed it!

Excellent guide!

Jean_H, Jun 2026

Tim is an excellent guide. He has vast knowledge of Savannah history and the Bonaventure. He doesn’t make up stories - he knows the real history.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Cool. I appreciate it. I don’t understand calling me an excellent guide and then giving me four out of five stars, but that’s the way things are rolling these days., I guess. Safe travels, Tim

Good communication with...

Maureen_M, Jun 2026

Good communication with our guide Tim. Very easy and convenient. Very informative. Savannah is beautiful, would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your review. I hope you do recommend the Tour. I’m a small one man operation and business generally comes from word-of-mouth. Safe travels, Tim

Tons of info packed into the tour!

Ruth_M, May 2026

Tim was very knowledgeable! It was so nice that he gave us water because it was so hot. It was also nice that he dropped us off after the tour wherever we wanted.

Great Time

William_S, May 2026

Tim is very knowledgable. Highly recommended. The walking is manageable. It was fun even though that sounds unusual for a cemetary.

A must do!

Andrea_Z, May 2026

Tim was absolutely amazing!!! He was so down to earth and was so passionate about Savannah and his families 6 generations here. He was encouraging to ask as many questions as you would like. He spoke about history on the way to the cemetery, even recommend some place to eat and check out while we are visiting. He even offered bug spray, water and umbrellas which is so thoughtful. He was so knowledgeable about the cemetery. He was also respectful of what you wanted to see and take pictures of. On the way home he even asked "where does everyone want to get dropped off" even made suggestions. I highly recommend this tour. It was by far our favorite experience on our trip.

Tim was absolutely...

Jocelyn_Z, May 2026

Tim was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He supplied water and bug spray for all in the group. It was a lifesaver. Transportation to and from the cemetery was so convenient. We were picked up and dropped off just across the street from where we were staying. I would definitely recommend this tour. Top notch experience.

Great tour!

janet_s, May 2026

Tim is a great communicator. His knowledge comes from his generations of family in Savannah. He picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off where we wanted. He provided water and bug spray. The stories of the burials and statues were captivating.

Great tour of Bonaventure

Anne_B, May 2026

The tour was fantastic. Tim was a very knowledgeable tour guide. We learned a lot from him about the cemetery’s history. We gained so much more knowledge than we would have on our own. Would highly recommend.

Tim is everything we look...

Lynn_R, May 2026

Tim is everything we look for in a tour guide: informed, thoughtful, careful, funny, punctual, and passionate. This isn’t just a cemetery tour, it’s a great overview of Savannah’s history and the people who wrote its stories. Well worth tje visit!

An atmospheric walk through history.

Janice_D, May 2026

We were picked up from our hotel on time and we learnt a lot about the history of Savannah from Tim during our walk through this beautiful and atmospheric cemetery.

This is the one!!

Corinne_K, May 2026

Tim is a great tour guide. Personable, very knowledgeable. It's an absolutely jam-packed tour from start to finish. Top notch. Plus, transportation from historic district to Bonaventure is a must. This is the Bonaventure tour -- don't miss it!

Michele_V, May 2026

Tim was FANTASTINC! very knowledgeable in history, and has a great personality. You would be in the best of hands with him.

Excellent experience with Tim.

Evelyn_H, May 2026

Tim was a wonderful guide. Great communication about pick up and very accommodating on drop offs. He has a ton of local knowledge and is particularly knowledgeable about the cemetery and is also very respectful of the cemetery and graves. The transportation was very comfortable. All 5 of us very much enjoyed the tour and were glad we did it with Tim.
