Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1
Location: Washington DC
Accommodation Name: hotel
Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Washington DC. On arrival we’ll transfer to our hotel for two nights.
Day 2
Location: Washington
Accommodation Name: hotel
Marbled monuments and memorials, eclectic neighbourhoods, and high-profile politicos; Washington DC - ‘America’s front yard’ - is a real treasure trove of historic sites and neoclassical buildings. We’ll take a guided tour of the nation’s capital stopping by the Capitol Building, the White House, and the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument.
Day 3
Location: Mount Vernon
Accommodation Name: hotel
Today we visit Mount Vernon, the stately Virginia home George Washington shared with his wife, Martha. Mount Vernon remains the most visited historic home in the USA, drawing 1 million visitors each year to its restored mansion, beautiful gardens, and other historic buildings. Later we take a leisurely drive back Washington DC and spend the rest of the day at leisure.
Day 4
Location: Williamsburg
Accommodation Name: hotel
This morning we visit Arlington National Cemetery, one of the country's oldest national cemeteries. The cemetery's rolling hills mark the final resting place for more than 14,000 veterans, including those who fought in the Civil War.
From this peaceful, poignant place we continue our journey to Williamsburg. The former capital of the Virginia Colony until 1789, Williamsburg was England’s oldest, largest, richest, most populous colony and played a significant role in the American Revolution. You’ll notice plenty of European influence here - our first insight into the lifestyle of the first British settlers. We’ll stay here for two nights.
Day 5
Location: Jamestown
Accommodation Name: hotel
We look forward to a full day of exploration and historical discovery in the cities of Jamestown and Williamsburg today. We’ll visit Jamestown, which is home to two compelling attractions: Historic Jamestown and Jamestown Settlement. While in the area, we’ll learn about the first permanent English settlement in North America.
This afternoon we’ll visit Colonial Williamsburg, one of the largest and most comprehensive living-history museums in the USA.
Day 6
Location: Wilmington
Accommodation Name: hotel
We journey to Wilmington, stopping en route at stunning Virginia Beach with its six-mile sandy beach and thriving 40-block boardwalk flanked with restaurants, cafés, and shops. Then it’s on to Wilmington, North Carolina - the gateway to the Cape Fear Coast beaches.
Day 7
Location: Charleston
Accommodation Name: hotel
Enjoy free time this morning in Wilmington exploring the historic district and the gallery-lined boardwalk. Early this afternoon we cross the state line into South Carolina, where we visit Myrtle Beach, a lively seaside escape with a spectacular 100km Grand Strand stretch of sand. Named for a local evergreen shrub, the city has long attracted visitors with its mild subtropical weather and powder-soft sands.
We continue to Charleston, a historic port city known for its charming architecture, pleasant weather, and excellent cuisine. We’ll stay here for two nights.
Day 8
Location: Charleston
Accommodation Name: hotel
It’s impossible not to imagine yourself in an earlier era today as we explore Charleston’s cobbled pathways lined with colonial mansions on our guided tour this morning.
Day 9
Location: Savannah
Accommodation Name: hotel
This morning we make a stop at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, known as one of the most beautiful public gardens in America since it was founded in 1676. We then leave South Carolina behind for a journey through the Georgia countryside to Savannah. This famously beautiful city is a hub for creative types, but it’s the elegant 18th and 19th-century townhouses, brick ‘sidewalks’ and towering oak trees draped in Spanish moss that are likely to capture your heart. We’ll stay here for two nights.
Day 10
Location: Savannah
Accommodation Name: hotel
Begin the day with a guided tour, taking in the city’s Civil War history, three centuries worth of architectural prowess, and an old-time candy shop on historic River Street. This afternoon is free to spend as you please. We love a wander through Forsyth Park in the historic district. Dating back to the 1840s, this green corner is undeniably charming. It’s the perfect spot to get your camera clicking at that famous Spanish moss and iconic centrepiece fountain. Or perhaps just stop by one of the little cafes and watch the local life pass you by.

Location: Atlanta
Accommodation Name: flight
A relaxing morning, before we transfer to Atlanta airport for your overnight return flight to the UK.
