Don’t miss the bus this spring…Charleston and Savannah await you! Visit two great cities of the Old South and so much more. 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!

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.
