Charleston Town & Country Life
COMBINED HISTORIC DISTRICT/PLANTATION TOUR
Combining the Historic District tour with a plantation visit will enable you to gain a view of both Charleston town and country life on the same day. You will learn the cultural values of those who were city residents and how their interests and views often differed from their aristocratic, plantation-class neighbors.
While their views on war & peace often differed, it can be said all Charlestonians aspired to live a gracious and charming life. Even thousands of enslaved worked hard to buy their freedom. Once freed, freeman were among the most ambitious in the city.
Understanding what motivated Charlestonians to create such a gracious life will help you gain greater insight into this wealthiest city of British Colonial and Antebellum America. A city now restored to its pre-civil war grandeur and recognized by leading travel publications as one of the Best Cities In The World!
Historic District & Boone Hall: $500 - 3.5 hours

Savannah - Founded 1732
PRIVATE HISTORIC SAVANNAH TOUR
A two-hour drive from Charleston, this private excursion takes you to Savannah - America's third Best City in Travel + Leisure polls. Founded in 1732, Savannah began as an opportunity for those held in debtor prisons in England to start a new life in America. More a large town than a city during its Colonial and early Antebellum periods, little remains from early Savannah due to the fires of 1796 and 1820.
What you see today is a historic district with lovely, Spanish Moss-draped squares surrounded by mansions and attached houses built from the middle Antebellum period onward. While Savannah's metro area and central historic district are not as substantial as what you find in Charleston, Savannah does offer its own unique vibe and a look into the past that is one of the most beautiful in the country - making it a highly desirable day trip (or next stop) from Charleston.
Up To Three Guests
Half-Day (Drop Off In Savannah): $400 - 3.0 hours
Full-Day (Return To Charleston): $800 - 7hours
Suggested Stop In Historic Beaufort: Add $100 - 1 hour
