Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Savannah. The van was commodious and clean. They pick you up and drop you off at the location of your choice. Overall, excellent experience. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

Excellent guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and interested in the tour. Really appreciated the pickup and dropoff to make it easier to visit the cemetery.

So Interesting

Elissa_B, Apr 2026

The history of Savannah is right here in this cemetery and tour director, Tim, knows it backwards and forwards. Learn how cemeteries changed through the years, and gain a true appreciation of Savannah's famous families and their legacies.

Superb Experience

Mlbmichigan, Apr 2026

Tim is fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, busts myths with hard facts and his devotion to the cemetery is inspiring. His family has been in Savannah for generations and he knows SO much. If you want the real history and thoughtful observations Tim is the best!

Bonaventure Best Cemetary walking tour

Christine_V, Apr 2026

This walking tour was the best way to see all the important and beautiful gravesites in Bonaventure Cemetary! I would highly recommend Tim Rowell’s tour. He is very knowlegable of those buried here; the stories about them and also of family names from the surrounding areas.

Don’t miss this one!

Linda_M, Apr 2026

Awesome tour. The guide, Tim, was very knowledgeable. I loved it. I found it fascinating to learn the history.

Highly engaging and informative tour!

Seema_T, Apr 2026

Tim was highly enthusiastic, engaging, easy to listen to, funny and extremely knowledgable. Our 12 year old children enjoyed it just as much as we did. You won’t be disappointed. And the pickup and drop off is a bonus!

Thank you, Lynn! Nobody’s perfect, but thank you for saying so. I love what I do. Take care out there, Tim

Tour with an enthusiastic expert

Nicole_D, Mar 2026

Well researched, professional and personable guide of a beautiful location with lots of history. It was wonderful spending a few hours with Tim sharing his enthusiasm for Bonaventure Cemetery.

This was a wonderful...

Cindy_J, Mar 2026

This was a wonderful tour. Some of us even asked if Tim offered other tours which he does not. He came prepared with all of the things we didnt think we’d need but did like bug spray, made sure we had opportunities to use the restroom before and after and was warm and chatty en route to the cemetery. As for the tour itself, he hand selected the most interesting and beautiful monuments, but he could also answer questions about and was willing to stop at anything that caught our interest. The cemetery is quite large and we saw the most haunting and historically engaging parts of it. He really knows his hometown and his love of its people and history is very apparent. That coupled with his respect for the environment made for an outstanding tour.

Book with Tim!

Julie_C, Mar 2026

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience on this tour. We really enjoyed walking through while hearing the history behind this beautiful cemetery and some of the family’s that have been laid to rest there. Tim was great and if we’re ever back in Savannah, we will be doing this tour again.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dave_H, Mar 2026

Tim was very knowledgeable and fun guide. Was happy to take questions and had good answers for most of the questions. You could tell he put allot of effort into learning the cemetery and its history

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Most? Well, nobody's perfect I guess. Thanks for taking the time to do this review. Tim

Great tour!

Rainy Day Tour

Pamela_C, Mar 2026

Tim Rowell was full of information regarding the cemetery, the people buried there, and what is truth versus fiction about the people. There were eight of us on the tour, which allowed many questions. We were provided or offered umbrellas(it showered a few times, but did not last long), bottled water, and a restroom break. Walking is required, but it is at a slow pace. We really enjoyed Tim and would highly recommend his tour. Tim also picked us up at each place we were staying at in the historic district, delivered us back or dropped us off at another spot in the historic district.

Best tour in Savannah,...

Susanna_F, Mar 2026

Best tour in Savannah, the cemetery is wonderful and Tim was an excellent guide. Super interesting and informative. I loved the tour!

Great tour!

Lisa_M, Mar 2026

This tour was very informative and interesting. Our tour guide was engaging and deeply researched the information he presented. He also voluntarily dropped off participants to locations of their choice which was kind. If you like history, you will enjoy this tour. Great tour! m

Dash Tours for courtesy and professionalism

Michelle_R, Feb 2026

Dash Tours was great in communicating the pick up time from my hotel. The 15-20 minute drive to Bonaventure Cemetery was expertly handled by Tim our leader. We drove through the newer area of the cemetery with Tim providing commentary. Upon parking in the older part, Tim gave us historical facts about the markers, monuments and sometimes a brief background of the bereaved. The respect shown for this sacred place by Tim is admirable. We stayed on schedule and were delivered back to our hotels as promised.
