Great tour, great tour guide!

Our guide was excellent! She was very knowledgeable about the history of the cemetery and its “residents.” She made it fun and interesting, and we had a great time!

Knowledgeable and nice tour guide to Hollywood Cemetery

The guide was very knowledgeable and funny! She was patient, and a pleasant company for a solo tour. We visited the tomb of the first person buried at Hollywood Cemetery, W.W. Pool's maussaleum, a pyramid next to the Confederate graveyard that is from Mason building, and so much more. It was great!!!

A beautiful stop

This was a very beautiful hostoric cemetery above the James River with rolling hills and old graves. You can easily drive through and enjoy all of the diverse designs of the headstones and history.
