This tour features two great cities of the Old South. Historic Charleston is bursting with Southern charm and hospitality. The city feels like it has been suspended in time…with antebellum architecture and plantation landscapes. Savannah’s beauty, with hundreds of years of history, is magically enhanced by the quaint cobblestone streets and majestic architecture. This tour should be on the bucket list of everyone who loves to see history come alive, delight in beautiful harbors and enjoy delicious dining! Don’t miss the bus this spring and travel with us to Charleston and Savannah.
Day 1: We begin our southern adventure today as we drive to the lovely state of South Carolina to our overnight destination near the state’s capital city, Columbia.
Day 2: After our included breakfast we depart for Charleston. This historic port city is bursting with the beauty of the season, and Middleton Place Gardens is no exception. Here we see the oldest landscaped gardens in America, laid out by Henry Middleton in 1781. One hundred slaves labored for a decade to complete the work. Middleton is a masterpiece of formal landscaping, flowers, lakes and terracing. After touring Middleton Place we arrive in Charleston and check in at our hotel for a two-night stay. Dinner is included this evening along the beautiful Charleston waterfront. B, D
