Arrive into Florida and transfer to your St. Augustine resort to meet your fellow travellers with a welcome dinner.    

Day 2  St. Augustine    
This morning explore the oldest continuously inhabited city in the United States, St. Augustine. Today, much of the historic charm and Spanish influenced style will be apparent during your exploration throughout the city. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.    

Days 3  St. Augustine to Savannah

Day 4  Savannah      
Start the day with a morning sightseeing trip of Savannah, admiring the city’s elegant architecture and geometric city design, featuring more than 1,000 architecturally significant buildings and 24 park squares highlighted by live oaks draped with Spanish moss. Next, engage in a hands on culinary demonstration focusing on dishes representing the unique cuisine of the coastal Low Country Region.    

Day 5  Savannah      
Begin your morning with a guided walk through Bonaventure Cemetery, where Spanish moss sways, marble angels stand watch, and stories linger in the quiet. Led by a local expert, you'll uncover the lives and legacies of those laid to rest here, artists, soldiers, poets, and visionaries, whose stories shaped Savannah's past. More than a resting place, Bonaventure is a reflection of Savannah itself: elegant, enigmatic, and unforgettable.
