is this tour done in september and does it end in jacksonville we are older seniors how much walking is expected what is the cost and do offer air and tranfers

We have a departure date for September 23rd-29th. The tour flies out of Jacksonville but we don't stay in that city. The activity level for this tour is moderate. Walking two to three miles over the course of a day is expected. You will partake in a two-hour leisurely walking tour, covering up to two miles (with included breaks). You can handle a variety of terrains, from cobblestone streets to moderate hills with relative ease and without assistance. You can climb two flights of stairs with ease. There may be 1 to 2 days on this tour when walking tours can cover 3 to 4 miles over uneven terrain.

Our tour manager, Wesley Glass, gave me a wonderful experience with all his information and organization of 44 people. Every day was a great adventure. I enjoyed each destination and it's hard to pick a favorite. Charleston had the wonderful horse carriage ride and Boone Plantation, Savannah had an informative walking tour and I love River Street, and Jekyll Island was relaxing and I enjoyed the sunset and fire pit with s'mores with new friends.Show more
