Peaceful and interesting

The monuments and the beautiful setting make this well worth the drive out of the historic district. Tours are offered but we just chose to walk and drive through to visit the graves of some of Savannah’s most famous residents. It is a photographers paradise.

Beautiful scenery, but wear bug spray!

We loved seeing the old headstones and beautiful oaks, but we were eaten up by mosquitoes. I don't normally get bothered by them too much and I have more than 50 bites. It is worth the visit just be prepared.

Fairly standard older cenetary

Not sure what all the hub-bub is about. It is well maintained, but fairly standard for the time period. If you visit historical cemeteries, especially overseas, this would be an easy pass. Be careful with tour companies, if actual history interests you. Just research before...More

Old Cemetery

We were a little disappointed, but it was three days after hurricane Michael went close by Savannah. We had a difficult time locating it, thank for GPS we found it.

Fascinating - My Favorite Savannah Tour

This was my favorite Savannah tour. Shannon knows his stuff so we heard great stories and got some interesting history lessons (that were actually fun due to the fact that the guide is a gifted storyteller). FYI - I took an Uber to the cemetery...More

Is it a safe bike ride from historic district? Also is there somewhere for a gluten free meal near here? What recommendations do others have for restaurants or grocery stores?

It’s a long way.. 15 mins by car.. but safe enough I think! and I doubt there are any gluten free options around bonaventure. It is suburban mainly! Good luck!
