Northern states may have the southern states beat when it comes to major U.S. metropolises, but the same cannot be said for the old-world charm and slow-paced ease that typify many of the cities and towns worth traveling for below the Mason-Dixon line.
Itineraries We Love
We believe that itineraries need to be personalized, and can work for anyone from honeymooners and adventurers to families and multi-gen groups as long as they are tailored to your interests. Here are some of our favorites; many more can be created by our expert team.
Iconic American South
The classic southern itinerary takes a number of forms; one can either spend a long weekend leisurely in one city like Charleston, Savannah or Nashville, or embark on a road trip to hit several in one go–making stops at roadside diners and historic gardens and mansions along the way.
