Itinerary
Day 1 – Charleston, South Carolina
Experience warm Southern hospitality in America’s southeast. Come to know its rich history and deep traditions on this tour highlighted by stays in Charleston, Savannah, and Jekyll Island. Arrive in Charleston, a city that has defied all odds. Charleston has survived the Civil War, major fires, an earthquake, and hurricanes – and still exudes elegance, charm, and grace. If arriving early in the day, perhaps you’ll venture out on your own to Patriot’s Point Naval Museum or the Aiken-Rhett House before settling into your accommodations in the Historic District. There are no scheduled activities today. Following a welcome briefing, you’ll have the evening free to enjoy dinner on your own and explore at your leisure.
Day 2 – Charleston
Decide how to see the city because it’s your choice! Stroll through Charleston’s historic center with a local guide, exploring hidden alleys and quaint areas that are only accessible by foot -OR- take a harbor cruise to Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired, and chat with a ranger before exploring on your own. Later, make your way to bustling City Market, one of the country’s oldest public markets and the central hub for Gullah sweetgrass basketry – an intricate handicraft of African origin. Explore Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens, one of America’s oldest working plantations, and get a historical look inside the original cabins that once housed the enslaved. This evening, join your fellow travelers for a welcome dinner at a local restaurant.
Day 3 – Charleston – Savannah, Georgia
Enjoy a morning at leisure to explore Charleston on your own. Perhaps you will join an optional horse-and-carriage tour with lunch. Then, travel down the coast through South Carolina’s Low Country to historic Savannah. This evening, spend some time exploring Factors Walk and River Street, where old cotton warehouses have been converted into trendy shops, taverns, and restaurants. Tonight, gather at a local restaurant for dinner.
Day 4 – Savannah
This morning, take in the southern charm on a private tour through Savannah’s Historic District. The city comes to life as you travel both by trolley and by foot along the cobblestone-paved streets and beneath the moss-draped oaks. Allow the stately mansions, beautiful squares, and romantic riverfront promenades to capture your heart. Your tour ends at the Mercer Williams House, where you will receive a guided tour of the famed home from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Return to the hotel in time for a late lunch on your own and the afternoon and evening to spend as you wish.
Day 5 – Savannah – St. Simons Island – Jekyll Island
Before saying so long to Savannah, stop at the Pin Point Heritage Museum to learn about the Gullah Geechee people. Then, journey to Georgia’s legendary Gold Coast and visit the quaint St. Simons Island. Enjoy time to explore the area on your own, meandering along the unique shops and restaurants in the village. Continue on to the exclusive Jekyll Island Club hotel, your home for the next two nights.
Day 6 – Jekyll Island
Situated grandly in the middle of the Golden Isles, Jekyll Island was once the beloved vacation spot for prominent families, including the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts, and J.P. Morgan. With a morning at leisure, enjoy the old-world atmosphere of this iconic resort. Gather for a tram ride that brings you on a tour of the island and the Jekyll Island Historic Landmark District – one of the nation’s largest restoration projects. The rest of the day is yours to spend as you please throughout the resort. Tonight, join your fellow travelers for a farewell dinner at the Jekyll Island Club hotel.
Day 7 – Jekyll Island – Jacksonville, Florida – Tour Ends
