Unique experiences like learning about Gullah Geechee culture and a behind-the-scenes visit to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center set this tour apart, offering an engaging journey through the South’s most captivating highlights.
A great trip visiting parts of South Carolina and Georgia. I especially liked the relaxed feel of staying 2 nights in each place. Finishing the trip on Jekyll Island was a great experience. A combination of places to see and free time to explore or just relax.
IT MET MY EXPECTATIONS. THE PACE WAS PERFECT BUT WE WERE A SMALL GROUP WHICH MAKES THINGS MUCH EASIER TO VISIT SITES.
Very good itinerary. One of the restaurants, the Mexican one in Charleston and the hotel in Savannah was not very good. Otherwise I enjoyed the trip.
