History Comes Alive in Savannah!

1st Day: Upon arrival in Savannah, we will go to the Historic District for a unique tour, a Carriage Tour. Return to a kinder, gentler day, tour Savannah the way it was meant to be seen. Imagine moss-laden trees, beautiful antebellum homes, monuments and museums that are over 200 years old. As you take a covered carriage through America’s first planned city (Savannah Historic District), you will learn about the famous and infamous people and events from their rich and colorful history. From General Oglethorpe to characters and places in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, your tour will transport you through time. Tonight, we will go to the Historic Savannah Theatre. The Savannah Theatre is the oldest continually operating theatre in the country!  We're sure to enjoy the performance at this top rated attraction. Lodging for the next two nights will be in the Historic District area.

The Andrew Low House Museum is a nationally known 1840’s historic home and garden. Next, we will enjoy a Lunch Cruise on the Savannah Riverboat, which is sure to be the highlight of everyone’s Savannah visit! Re-live a bygone era, hear the Captain’s intriguing tales and historic facts as we tour a river once used by the founders of this beautiful city.

This is one of a few lighthouses that you can climb to the top, if you don’t mind the 178 steps! The view is well worth it! After visiting Tybee Island, we will go The Pirates' House for a delicious and mouth-watering meal. The restaurant is located on one of the most historic spots in Georgia. It was first opened in 1753 as an inn for seafarers, and fast became a meeting point for pirates and sailors from the Seven Seas.
