Great time - We had a marvelous time with our guide, Chris. He pointed to the architectural features, the history and customs and also, tales of the folks buried there. All delivered with drama and theatrics to enhance the experience. Chris took a well posed group photo and we have a great memory of the day too. Definitely recommend.

What you didn't know about cemeteries... - Dawn was super knowledgeable. We learned a lot about cemeteries that we did not know and we've been to them on 3 different continents. Wear your walking shoes as you will put some steps in but it is worth it over a golf cart tour if you are able.

Wonderful tour - We had a great time on our walking tour of Bonaventure Cemetery. Steven was a great guide and a wealth of information perfectly balanced with history and humor. If you are able to do the walk, I would highly suggest this tour. Our entire group from young adults to grandparents found it to be interesting and entertaining.
