Come experience the magic of Charleston as the temperatures begin to drop and feeling of Christmas start filling the salty air of the Holy City. The festivities begin as soon as you step on the bus, where you will enjoy the tales and historical narratives of Christmas time during the Victorian Era by your very own period clad tour guide. Upon arrival, your first stop will be at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, named one of “America’s Most Beautiful Gardens” by Travel + Leisure Magazine. The plantation was established in 1676 by Thomas and Ann Drayton, after the family’s trek from Barbados to the British colony of Charles Towne. The plantation is the oldest public tour site in the Lowcountry, as well as, the oldest public gardens in America. Explore the home, festively adored with Christmas trimmings the way the Drayton’s would have enjoyed the house in the late 1600’s, and then take a stroll through the enchanting gardens where gorgeous Camelia’s will be in full bloom. After your exploration lunch is on your own at the Peacock Café, an onsite restaurant, that has sandwiches and salads for you to enjoy. Next, we will head into the city for a tour of Charleston and it’s Christmas past. During this tour, you will see highlights such as the Battery, Waterfront Park, Rainbow Row, Broad Street, Four Corners on Law and the U.S. Custom House. Lastly, we will stop at the Charleston City Market for you to do some Christmas Shopping and maybe grab a sweet treat at one of area’s delicious eateries. This complete Charlestonian tour will be sure to have you in the Christmas spirit by the time your feet hit the ground again in Myrtle Beach!
