About this trip
Eight days through the Deep South, from Atlanta to Nashville, with a local leader who knows the history and stories behind the places you visit.
You'll walk through Savannah's historic streets and the Southern gothic surrounds of Bonaventure Cemetery, hear the stories behind Charleston's landmarks, and head into the Appalachian Mountains to see Biltmore House in Asheville. The trip ends in Nashville, home of country and western music.
This is a sightseeing-led, fully guided trip with a relaxed pace, built for those who want context and stories behind the places rather than just ticking them off.
What you'll do
- Walk the historic streets of Savannah
- Visit Bonaventure Cemetery
- Hear the stories behind Charleston's landmarks
- Tour Biltmore House in Asheville, the largest home in the US
- Finish in Nashville, the heart of country and western music
- Summers in the South are hot and humid — pack for heat and drink plenty of water
- September to November is rainy season, so bring a rain jacket and waterproof shoes
- Southern cuisine is largely meat-based (fried food and barbecue feature heavily), so vegetarians and vegans may find fewer options
Worth it if you want a solid grounding in Southern US history and don't mind brutal travel days. Think twice if you value depth over breadth, or hate long drives.
- Guide Claire Kredens was exceptional; could handle any situation with ease and composure.
- Four to five hour drives every other day are genuinely exhausting; pacing feels rushed.
- Nashville endpoint doesn't fit the Southern history narrative; two long drives just to reach it.
- Short time in each city means you scout places to revisit later rather than explore deeply.
