Cool morning tour

Dawn of the Savannah Dead was amazing. A local that knows and has lived the history. She is a wealth of knowledge in cemetery iconography. We appreciated the 8 am tour too!.

Very nice tour of a beautiful cemetery

Very nice tour of a beautiful cemetery. Steven was very sensitive to the heat and tried to stay in the shade, while hitting most of the key plots. He was informative and entertaining.

Guide needs help from her manager

The guide was very knowledgeable on the things she repeated over and over again , it was Georgia in July and the weather was just what you’d expect, But the shade was plentiful, it was a little concerning at the way the guide kept herself cool , They won’t let me tell you or else they will ban my review But let’s just say it was inappropriate
