Charleston and Savannah Tour
Our tour leader, Janet, was just the best. She did a fabulous job of "herding the cats"! It was not an easy job. The tour overall was not the greatest. Two whole day were spent traveling that only gave us three days to tour. We had no time to walk around the cities for shopping or sight seeing on our own. So we never experienced these cities except for a guided tour on a bus. In Charleston we spent half a day at a tea factory! What a waste of time that was. It was so cold at night, and we were told to go on a boat tour that night! Beaufort was beautiful and the horse drawn carriage ride was wonderful as was the lady giving the tour through Beaufort. But again, there was no time to explore the town and shops on our own. We had a break for lunch and that was it. Savannah - Dinner at Paula Dean's was such a disaster. Cocktails were served after dinner and the food was awful. I had heard how awesome the shopping was in Savannah. No time for that. Did have time to walk on the River Front - at night. Then we had to go to the Julliette Low Birthplace House. That was so boring. So many other great things to see in that historic town. From the windows of a bus, I saw that these were lovely towns, and I will have to go back on my own to experience them.

Thank you so much for your feedback Bonnie regarding our Charleston and Savannah trip, we are happy that you liked our tour leader - we take great pride in all our tour leaders who are professional and fun. We know this tour itinerary was jam-packed with a variety of activities that did not include a lot of free time for shopping. In the future, we will consider that aspect. Thank you for your input, it is greatly appreciated. We are delighted that you saw enough of these enchanting cities to want to go back on your own at your own pace - now that you have the lay of the land. Paula Dean's restaurant has always been a hit on our tours because she is a celebrity chef who embodies southern cooking, which may not be for everyone. Thank you for traveling with us and again, thank you for your valuable insights.
