This morning we travel to the fascinating city of Savannah, America’s first planned city, now a registered National Historic Landmark with its monuments and museums, antebellum homes, and moss laden trees. We’ll enjoy an informative trolley tour seeing major attractions such as the Juliette Gordon Lowe House, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the Cotton Exchange, and the historic Riverfront. Lunch is included before boarding the Savannah Queen Riverboat for an afternoon cruise. Afterwards free time to stroll along the historic waterfront with its shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Return to Charleston for the evening. (CB,L)
