Bonaventure Cemetery Tours: Which One to Book

Best overall: walking tour with a ride

The 2-hour-45-minute walk is the one to book if you are staying downtown and do not have a car. The guide picks up in the Historic and Victorian districts about 20 minutes before the tour, or you can meet the group at 330 Bonaventure Road. Pickup is not offered south of Victory Drive. The listing includes bottled water, bug spray, and an umbrella, and it shows 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. options. The shared group cap is 15. From $48.00, rated 4.98 from 1,630 reviews, the highest rating in this set. Check the walking tour with transportation.

Best if walking is hard: the golf cart

The golf cart is 60 minutes and meets at the Bonaventure visitor car park. There is no downtown ride on this listing, so you still need a way to the gate. The shared-tour cap is 10. Infants sit on a lap. From $38.00, rated 4.90 from 1,860 reviews. That is the largest review count here, a notch below the walking-with-a-ride rating. Choose it when the oaks and the river bluff are the point and a mile on foot is not. Check the golf cart tour.

Best for art and symbols

Shannon Scott's 2-hour tour is the art, symbol, and film walk. The listing talks about grave sculpture, religious and other symbols, birds on the bluff, and Bonaventure as a filming location, including the Midnight story. Hotel pickup is excluded. Viator asks for at least moderate fitness and notes uneven surfaces if you use a wheelchair. The group cap is 30. From $30.00, rated 4.89 from 893 reviews. Check the art and symbols tour.

A 90-minute walk, and the 2-hour classic

The 90-minute daytime walk is the budget ticket: from $24.99, rated 4.60 from 239 reviews. It meets at the cemetery. It is the short option when you already have a ride to the gate and want a guide rather than a map. Check the 90-minute walk.

The 2-hour walking tour is a different listing. From $36.00, rated 4.79 from 1,431 reviews. You meet at the visitor restrooms. Parking is included for the length of the tour. Transportation is not. The page says to expect up to about a mile and at least moderate fitness, and that the tour runs in all weather unless conditions are dangerous, with umbrellas on request. Viator flags the product as private and also says the maximum is 30 travelers. Those two lines do not mean the same thing. Read the booking page for your date and confirm whether the group is yours alone. Check the 2-hour walk.

Pairing Bonaventure with Wormsloe

None of these five tours continues to Wormsloe. If you want the oak avenue the same day, drive yourself and leave the cemetery with time to spare before the 5:00 p.m. gate close. Our Wormsloe Historic Site guide covers the avenue, the ruins, and how long to allow.

Visiting on your own

The City of Savannah cemetery page says the gate is open to the public daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The address is 330 Bonaventure Road, Savannah, GA 31404. The city does not publish an admission price on that page. The Bonaventure Historical Society describes entry as free. Section maps are on the city site.

On October 16, 2026, the society listed its visitor center as open Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with most weekdays added and the hours subject to change. It also listed a free tour at 1:00 p.m. on the second weekend of the month. That start time is marked as new on July 1, 2026. The society describes small parking areas by the gates and pull-offs on the wider roads. This is an active cemetery. Funerals still happen. Stay on the roads, keep voices down near services, and be out by 5:00 p.m. Our Bonaventure Cemetery guide has the longer visiting notes.

Is Bonaventure haunted?

The ghost reputation follows the novel and the film more than any rule posted at the gate. Bonaventure is an active city cemetery, open in daylight, and the tours on this page are walks through its history and sculpture.
