Day 2

This morning, after breakfast, we continue south to Beaufort, SC. Upon arrival we will enjoy a guided carriage tour. A picturesque old port town, Beaufort is the second oldest town in the state. It still retains the atmosphere of earlier days to a remarkable degree. We will have time for lunch on our own and shopping in this historic town. By late afternoon we will arrive in Savannah, our home for the next three evenings. This evening you will enjoy a dinner buffet and entertainment aboard Savannah Riverboat Cruises. While aboard, enjoy the best view in the house for the Annual Boat Parade of Lights with yachts, tugs & other private vessels decorated for the holidays!

Day 3

After breakfast, our day begins with a guided tour of the Savannah History Museum, followed by an Old Savannah Trolley Tour. Bringing Savannah's History to Life is not just a slogan…it's a promise. Along with uniquely personal descriptions of Savannah's rich and spellbinding history, actual historical re-enactors appear from time to time, boarding and walking the aisles of your trolley. After an included lunch at a local restaurant, we will enjoy a Christmas Show at the Savannah Theatre followed by dinner on our own at the Plant Riverside District. After dinner, we'll enjoy shopping at Savannah's Christmas Market.

Day 4

Following breakfast, we will be joined by a local guide for our Atlantic Ocean Low Country Tour. We will start our tour with a stop at the Byrd Cookie Company flagship store. Enjoy cookie tasting and browse their marketplace for a huge selection of locally made gourmet foods, holiday décor, and unique gifts from Savannah. Next, you'll marvel at the beautiful view of saltwater marshes as we travel to Savannah's Beach at Tybee Island for a photo op and beach walk. We will also drive-by Georgia's oldest and tallest lighthouse, Tybee Island's Lighthouse, which guided mariners from the Atlantic into the Savannah River for more than 270 years. Enjoy lunch on your own at the Plant Riverside District before a guided tour of the Davenport House Museum. Before our included dinner we will have a self-guided tour of the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist. The remainder of the evening is free to enjoy at our leisure.
