Your Tour at a Glance
Tour Activity Level
The activity level for this tour:
You’re a leisurely traveler. You typically take it easy and discover the energy of a new place by people-watching or soaking in the atmosphere at a local café. You can climb at least one flight of stairs, board a coach, and walk unassisted at a relaxed pace for up to 60 minutes without difficulty. You can easily handle altitudes up to 5,000 feet.
You like a balanced approach to travel. Walking two to three miles over the course of a day is no problem for you. You can 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. You can handle altitudes up to 6,000 feet.
You’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal. A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you. Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.
You’re ready to seize the day, whatever it may bring. You lead an active life at home (walking, biking, and half or full day hikes are things you may enjoy) and 10,000 steps a day is normal for you. You can handle longer walking tours (more than 3 hours covering 3+ miles at a steady clip) and activities that involve traversing uneven terrain, steep slopes, standing for periods of time, and varying altitudes and temperatures. You don’t mind being on the go with some early starts, late-nights, and full days. You can handle altitudes of 9,000 feet or higher with little to no issue. This level is not appropriate for travelers who use wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility assistance devices.

Each tour was well thought out and precisely designed to give the audience a feel for the region. What was not to like!? BUT I loved the plantation and Jekel island. The flights to and from weren’t well planned! We arrived back in Austin at 12:30 AM after having the Jacksonville to Miami flight cancelled. Yes! I said Miami! Why??

We had so much fun. We saw beautiful sights, ate incredible food, and learned a lot about the area. The tours and guides were fantastic. We rented bicycles on Jekyll Island and road around the island on a wonderful bike path. It was a highlight. I’ve already recommended this trip to several friends.

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.

Very well planned from the moment we left home until we arrived back. I’ve been on 12 tours with other companies and this was the best of all. Hotels were in good locations and very good quality. I loved learning the cultural aspects of each location. One of my favorite specials was a chef demo of shrimp and grits. All the included dinners were great.

Enjoyed the walking tours in Charleston and Savannah; so many details and so much history was explored. The Mercer House in Savannah is a must see. Included meals were plentiful and delicious. The highlight to me was staying at the Jeckyl Island Resort and being able to absorb all the old-time elegance and grace of a by-gone era.

One of my all-time favorite group travel experiences! It was great having some included choices, such as going out to Ft Sumpter or taking a walking tour of Charleston. I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour and our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Companions who chose to go to the fort found it very moving to be a part of the morning flag raising ceremony. Dining options within walking distance of hotels in both Charleston and Savannah were plentiful and high-quality. The plantation visit was also very positive - with the highlight being the presentation about the Gullah people. The speaker / performer was wonderful and very talented! The time on Jekyll Island was amazing…probably my favorite part of the trip! The historic resort was lovely and staff were the epitome of southern hospitality! I do hope to return there soon for time to explore more of the options the island has to offer. Our tour manager, Jen Jett is a WEALTH of knowledge; she was warm and friendly, helpful to each guest, and very professional. One of the very best “guides” I’ve ever gotten to travel with. (And as a frequent leader of church travel groups, you may be aware that I have high expectations of the tour manager.) Jen met or exceeded all expectations! The only suggestion I might make for a change is to consider offering your travelers an option of more than one “house museum” to visit in Savannah. The Mercer Williams house tour was okay, but several of us found the Gordon Low home and tour to be much more enjoyable, thorough, and informative. I think that day of touring could be more meaningful if we had 2 houses to choose from for visits. Thank you, Collette, for a First Class travel experience.

The tour itself was great, but sometimes rushed (the walking tours). 1 extra day in the 2 cities would've been nice. The plane trips, although on time, used a crazy route: 3 planes with 2 stopovers to get there. 2 planes with 1 stopover to get back, no provided meals, & we had to pay $30 for 1 piece of checked luggage, each way. (Delta airlines). We hadn't been told. Favorite: the slave mart museum (Collette didn't tell us re this. A personal friend did.), & the horse-drawn trolley/carriage.

I enjoyed our tour and our guide Barbara was fantastic. The last hotel we stayed in was absolutely horrible and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Our room had only one chair and smelled of paint. There was a bug in the dresser drawer. Up to that point, everything was very good. Our other accomadations were fine.

All the tour guides were excellent. The food at the included restaurants was very good but could have been served hotter (in temperature). The hotels were okay. I was disappointed that the view from my room at the Jekyl Island Club Resort was awful (roof tops, a/c units, dumpster). The surroundings were ablaze with Christnas lights/decorations; it would have been such a joy to have seen them from my room windows! The farewell festivities and dinner were wonderful..

This was our first trip and the only complaint we have is the food experience. We enjoyed the company, tour guide and bus driver. The event choices were good and the guide had to make adjustments due to weather conditions to keep us safe and she was amazing.

I enjoyed the cities we visited and the things we saw. I did not care for the garden walk in Savannah. Most of the things we saw on the walk we had already seen on the trolley tour which I thoroughly enjoyed. The lunch at the Italian restaurant was not one I would have expected in the "South". I really enjoyed Fort Sumter, the Boone Plantation and the entire Jekyll Island visit.

The trip exceeded our expectations as to pick up delivery from and to the airport, quality of the hotels and ease at getting into and around the attractions. We liked landing in Jackson Ville, Fl but there should be something to see moving to the Low country. Not all of us enjoy shopping so St Simon’s needs another stop. Same with Charleston. Really enjoyed Jekyll island, one more day there please,and Savannah. Please change the restaurant at Charleston, food too fried and dessert too hard.

The guides on the tour were very helpful and well informed. Our local tour guide left a lot to be desired. I'm not a very experienced traveler and thank goodness I was with someone who was because our local guide did very little to help the travelers. She was the last one to arrive the morning of our departure to meet out shuttle bus to the airport and did little to greet us. Also at the end of our trip upon arriving at our final airport and our loading on the shuttle for the trip back home she got on the bus and sat down, the driver was ready to leave when she said "maybe I should check to see if everyone is here" and then she counted. On the whole tour she seemed more like one of the guests and not a guide. I would travel with Collette again, but NOT with your local representative. Also she is not physically capable of the duties!

Local representative was not acceptable to me!
Thank you for traveling with Collette on our Southern Charm Holiday tour. While we're very sorry to hear you were disappointed with your group leader, she is not an employee of Collette. We would suggest sharing your experience with the radio station so they can review your concerns.

Trip Rating:
Had a great time and Collette covered all the bases. Transportation, hotels, and meals were very good. Chuck Tracy was an outstanding tour guide. The only hiccup was the missed flight on our return to Bradley. Connecting flights with a very short layover probably not ideal during winter months when you have a higher risk of weather related delays. The running through the airport to try to make the connection was brutal.

Trip Rating:
Jekyll Island was absolutely beautiful. The Christmas lights, the tram tour with the outstanding guide, and the delicious breakfast were some of my favorites on this trip. Also thoroughly enjoyed the stop at driftwood beach. The Christmas carols was not a highlight and suggest maybe some other form of holiday festivities. Wish we had more time to explore the island and the shops.

I thought the tour was very, very good in Savannah & Jekyll Island. Charleston was disappointing. We did not have enough time in Charleston and the included dinner was horrendous.

The trip to the Smokey Mountains was a great trip, and I'm happy that I went. I will be purchasing several more trips in the near future. I hope in the future that the elderly and the handicapped are given some consideration. For example, the hotels we staid at, were outstanding, the bathrooms had beautiful marble walls and same color tubs, I am legally blind, I would have preferred a walk in shower and hand rails in case I got into trouble. CNN boasted the worlds single longest escalator, 8 stories, 197 feet. It would have been nice to have access to an elevator, instead of walking down the 8 flights of stairs.

Was a very good vacation. A hotel in Charleston in an area closer to the attractions and shopping would have made it better, plus avoiding Jacksonville perhaps for an additional night at Jekyl Island. Also, Collette should include the tips on the transfers just as they do on the limo service. The travel guide was very good and otherwise the agenda was fine.

This was a disappointing tour and not a good value.
-
Trip Rating:
This was not a well-planned tour and, therefore, not a good value for the cost. There was way too much "free" time which caused arranging supplemental activities at additional cost. We have already sent an email with our feedback and have not gotten a response. We suffered from bed bug bites towards the end of the tour. One of your representatives is handling this matter. So, this trip was a very disappointing experience overall. We had enjoyed the "Canyon Country" trip last year which was quite different from this one!

Very good tour. All tour guides were very good. Happy that Chuck the Tour Manager suggested on going on the Dolphin cruise. I appreciated that he was willing to send us his pictures from the Tour. This was voluntary on his part and on the travelers to receive them. The Farewell Dinner tasted good but it wasn't "special". I've gone on several Collette Tours and they were able to make it more special. The pork loin and chicken tasted good but I can easily have it at home. I liked the first group dinner better. They did have some serving issues but they did try really hard.
-
Trip Rating:
I really enjoyed Jekyll Island. Very pretty. Great accommodations. Enjoyed the optional Dolphin cruise. Enjoyed walking around Savannah and Charleston. Only complaint is even though the hotel was very nice in Jacksonville there really wasn't very much to do at that location. It was the downtown business area. Did walk along the river. But the complex near by was pretty much empty of any businesses. Just a few bar type businesses. Maybe try to find a better located hotel in the future.

When I originally booked this trip St. Augustine was included however this trip it was not and we were never advised. There was quite a bit of "nothing" time. We realize the hurricane did affect some closures in Savannah however there should have been a back-up plan.

Again the fact that St. Augustine was included in original trip and then not in the trip we took and no advice plus no $ compensation for the loss of that day.

Disappointed
-
Trip Rating:
First, this was a rescheduled trip. Collette failed to tell my friend and I that one city from the April trip was deleted from the October trip with no replacement. I would not have rescheduled the trip had I known this. Secondly, we were impacted by Hurricane Michael and an excursion was cancelled along with a museum visit. Although Collette refunded monies paid as well as the museum fee, they did not replace it with anything else so we had too much time on our own. If we had gone in April, a walking tour of Savannah was a part of the trip. We only got a tram tour fir a few hours and we're not able to walk around the city with a guide. An additional walking tour for those of us interested would not have cost Collette any additional monies. Very disappointing trip. Our tour guide Jan Lowe was excellent and made up for some of the disappointment with her calming and warm disposition.

Jekyll Island was the highlight of the tour for me. Savannah would have been another highlight had there been a walking tour.

You did not run the trip before. This was the first time you ran it in the direction we went on. The last day the bus broke down and the one we were transferred to had no air conditioning and was greatly reduced in size. The experience was awful. Our hotel rooms weren't ready for us at the first two stops. The horse drawn wagon in Charleston crammed us into the seats--4 to a seat. This is too many people to a seat--especially when some people are over-weight. The trip should have been scheduled for 2 more days. We didn't get to take a paddle wheel boat ride or visit Fort. Sumter. Having just seen Savannah on a morning bus ride was not enough to get to know Savannah.

The only glitch was the first night's dinner that was Italian food. We should have eaten Southern!

Planned visitations to sites better! Too much free time not knowing what to do. Tram ride for example. It was fine, but as long as you rented the tram why not stop for 15-20 minutes at the 7 or 8 sites that you think we should see. Instead we had a couple of hours of free time and didn't know the best way to use it. Walking tours were okay. Way to fast for some. Some members of our group were not able to keep up or able to see what the group saw. We walked by beautiful churches, etc and were not allowed by tour leader to even look inside!!

First dinner that was included had bad food and service. Was told that sometimes this place was bad and sometime good. This restaurant should be replaced on the tour. Keeping a place like this is unfair to your customers. Should not have to pay for it. The Fountain of Youth Park was a waist of time. Very run down and did not enjoy at all. Should have done more walking on the Savannah tour. Could not see much from the tour bus, which didn't navigate the area very well anyway. Wish the brochure was more specific on areas we are touring so when we are on our own we don't check these spaces out first and then see them again. The hotel in Savannah had a terrible breakfast, hot food was cold. The house we toured in Savannah was OK. There are better ones to tour. Over all it was very nice but when you are paying that much you expect a little more. In all honesty the things we arranged on our own during free time and our day we got there early we liked the best.

Would have liked more time during the lunch break to do more town/shops browsing.

Totally understand this logic.

Our group started early using a friend that just happens to work for Collette, Ginny Eaves. She found out what we were looking for and got it all arranged.

We had an amazing tour guide who was very personable, quickly learned everyone's names and did everything she could possibly do to make our trip informative, entertaining and memorable! I enjoyed all the destinations as we had been planning for this tour for two years to celebrate our monumental 60th birthdays and we were not disappointed! Jekyll island was a great starting point as it was relaxing and so historically fascinating! I specifically enjoyed the info about the "squares" in Savannah, the tour of the Citadel and my personal reason for the trip, touring the Juliette Lowe home as my friends and I grew up together as Girl Scouts. When our tour stopped for a second for all the Girl Scouts and Girl Guides to take a group picture on the back steps, my dream was achieved-there were nearly 20 of us! I also truly enjoyed getting to tour the Boone Hall plantation and see the slave quarters there. Overall, we had a great trip and appreciated the additional info we gained from our "guest tour guides" and enjoyed the food, companionship and other tour participants- we even set up a Facebook page to share pictures and keep in contact. Our Southern Charm tour was a great way to celebrate turning 60!

Selection of hotels and dinning experiences needs improvement.

I have taken five trips with Tauck and will continue to do so.. the dinners were poor, the choice of places to dine poor, but you get what you pay for. The hotel in Savannah was horrible, too bad they are extending this portion of the tour.

From 1-10 this trip was about a 8. The schedule should be looked at for travel.

Their service is on trips is excellent and prices are good. We have taken many trips with Collette. I have recommend them to friends. I am sure we will take other trips from them. I do not think this trip was well planned.

The extra meal that we paid $75,00 each was not worth it. Should have been about $35.00 each. The experience at Jekyll Island for 2 days was beautiful but it was like being on a deserted island with no stores or places to eat.

Study the tours and reviews as some are better than others.

While we have had several very good trips, there have been some less than ideal details and in one case the nature of the tour did not offer what we expected.

We expected the tour to focus on the antebellum south, both the good and the bad, but only saw a slight exposure at the plantation. Although the tour was not at fault, we found the food in Charleston consistently overcooked and unpleasant. Further the two night stay was too long and should instead be reduced in favor of Savannah, which we loved. Similarly the time at Jekyll Island was excessive for what it offered. We would have enjoyed a night in Beauford instead. Consider this as from my husband Bob as well.

We would have reduced the time spent in Jekyl sland and spent more time in Savannah. We enjoyed the time spent in Beaufort and the buggy ride. All the guides were good and knowledgeable. Wanda was especially accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable.

It was all right, nothing special. It took 3 times to get the itinerary e-mailed to me.

Could have used a few more options while in the cities of Savannah and Charleston. Could have used an extra day in Savannah for sure, and a night in St. Augustine. Was disappointed that there was no welcome dinner on the first night. So the tour was actually 5 days, not seven. Front and end days were used for travel.

We planned to arrive in Charleston a day early to give us more time in the city. Collette failed to notify us of a change in our outbound flight. The new flight they booked us on arrived in Charleston after 9:00 P.M. - RIDICULOUS!!!!! I only found out because I called to inquire about something else and the person I spoke with asked me if I had been notified of the change in our outbound flight. After I complained, they were then able t book us on another flight that got us in at approximately the same time as our original flight.

I was especially pleased with the included meals and the variety of options available to us. In addition, all of the hotels were centrally located within easy walking distance of many interesting places. I was not particularly happy with our tour manager. I asked her for directions to a specific drugstore near the hotel (I had to pick up a script my doctor had called in for me). I was told it was a couple blocks and she pointed in a direction and said I couldn't miss it and walked away. After walking (at night in the dark) four large blocks, I asked a passerby who gave me very specific directions and then walked there with me. It was not even on the street, the tour manager set me out on. In addition, there was NO VISIBLE SIGN identifying the drugstore on the outside (probably a Charleston zoning
Thank you for your inquiry, this has been passed along to our Customer Care Team for review. Thank you for addressing this with us.

Tour not up to what I expect and have experienced with your company. Seeing things that were not necessary. Just seemed to not have that good feel to it.If I have to pick something. I would pick the plantation. Jekyll island needs only 1 night there. Nothing to do there.
