Highlights
Step beyond the veil and into the haunting beauty of Bonaventure Cemetery, where crumbling angels keep silent watch beneath twisted oaks and trailing Spanish moss. On this daytime tour, you’ll wander a labyrinth of sorrow and splendor, tracing the lives—and lingering presence—of Savannah’s most storied souls. Among them, you’ll meet Little Gracie, the beloved child whose tragic death left behind a ghostly legend and a statue so lifelike it seems to breathe. In this garden of graves, the line between past and present blurs, and every monument whispers a tale of love, loss, and lingering spirits. If you have 10 or more guests in one group, please get in touch with the private & group sales coordinator with Ghost City Tours.

Itinerary
Uncover the eerie elegance of Bonaventure Cemetery, where every stone tells a story and every path leads deeper into Savannah’s shadowed past. Visit the grave of Little Gracie, the city’s most beloved—and most ghostly—child, whose hauntingly lifelike statue draws mourners and the curious alike. Decode the hidden meanings carved into Victorian tombs—roses, urns, lambs, and weeping angels, all whispering tales of grief, faith, and remembrance. Along the way, stand before the final resting places of Savannah’s most famous historical figures, from poets and politicians to war heroes and eccentrics, and feel the weight of history in the stillness around you. It’s not just a cemetery—it’s a cathedral of Southern Gothic memory.

About Savannah
Savannah is a Georgia coastal city of oak-shaded squares, Spanish moss, cobbled riverfront streets and beautifully kept Southern architecture.
Savannah was founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe as the first city of the colony of Georgia, and he laid it out on a grid built around small public squares. Twenty-two of the squares survive, shaded by live oaks draped in Spanish moss and filled with fountains and monuments. Forsyth Park, with its white fountain, is the largest green space in the historic district, and the Cathedral of St John the Baptist rises with twin spires.
