What's this trip about?

    Small groups lead to big experiences on this Small Group Discovery tour! Sweet tea and the sea. Magnolias and Muscadine. Fresh, ripe peaches and inviting pillared porches. Follow the oak-lined streets to the endless delights awaiting in the genteel South. Beginning in Atlanta, this Southern U.S. tour saunters through the Spanish moss-draped coast of South Carolina and Georgia. Walk in the footsteps of greatness at the Martin Luther King National Historic site in Atlanta, and step in high style on Charleston’s King Street. Clippity-clop down the mansion-lined lanes of picturesque Beaufort in a horse-drawn carriage. Board an open-air trolley to discover the famed squares of storied Savannah. Walk in the footsteps of Vanderbilts and Rockefellers at the once ultra-exclusive Jekyll Island Club. This Small Group Discovery tour is the perfect way to discover Southern hospitality served with a second helping of shrimp and grits, hot biscuits, and pecan pie. Bless your heart!
