5 Nights in the Francis Marion Hotel *Single Occupancy

A proud member of Historic Hotels of America since 1999, the Francis Marion Hotel has presided over Charleston's Marion Square since 1924; twelve stories of grand architecture and sweeping views of church steeples, historic rooftops, and the famous harbor beyond. Thoughtfully restored while preserving every ounce of its original character, the hotel places you at the very center of the Holy City, steps from the galleries, gardens, and culinary landmarks that make Charleston one of the most celebrated destinations in the American South. On-site, the Swamp Fox Restaurant serves classic Lowcountry cuisine daily, and The Spa of Charleston is there for the moments when you simply want to exhale. This is not just a place to sleep; it's a piece of Charleston history you get to stay inside.

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS - CHARLESTON

Charleston delivers moments you simply couldn't have planned: a horse-drawn carriage gliding through gaslit alleyways at dusk, Fort Sumter rising from the harbor, antebellum estates that seem to exist outside of time. These aren't sightseeing stops, they're experiences you'll carry long after the journey ends.

GROUP ACTIVITIES

Haunted Horse & Carriage Tour

As dusk settles over the Holy City, climb aboard a horse-drawn carriage and let Charleston's darker history unfold around you. Your certified guide leads you through twisting cobblestone alleys and gaslit streets, past the haunted corridors of the Provost Dungeon, the storied Mills House, and the shadowy Circular Congregational Graveyard... all the atmosphere of a ghost tour, none of the miles on your feet. It's history, mystery, and a little bit of magic

French Quarter

Food Tour

Charleston's culinary story is one of the richest in the American South, and this three-hour French Quarter food tour is the most delicious way to read it. Your passionate local guide leads you through the neighborhood's most celebrated spots, where you'll savor the real thing: she-crab soup as it was meant to taste, shrimp and grits that set the standard, benne wafers, pecan clusters, and cheese-and-chive biscuits. Seven-plus tastings, centuries of culinary heritage, and not a tourist trap in sight.

Walking History Tour

Charleston's history isn't just preserved in its buildings; it lives in its alleyways, its church pews, and the stories that have been passed down for generations. On this intimate small-group walking tour led by a licensed, University of South Carolina-trained historian, you'll wander through the French Quarter, discovering the layers behind landmarks like the French Huguenot Church, the Dock Street Theater, and Waterfront Park. You’ll actually hear every word, and with a guide this passionate about the Holy City, you'll want to.

Boone Hall

Founded in 1681, Boone Hall Plantation is one of the oldest working plantations in the United States and a visit here is as sobering as it is remarkable. On this small-group tour, you'll walk the historic slave quarters, tour the plantation house with a guide in period dress, and experience a moving Gullah cultural performance that brings the full, unvarnished story of this land to life. Round-trip transportation from Charleston is included, making this one of the most meaningful and effortless half-days you'll spend on the trip.

Charleston Harbor Cruise

Step aboard the 80-foot Carolina Belle and let Charleston reveal itself from the water; which, if you ask anyone who knows this city, is exactly how it was meant to be seen. This fully-narrated 90-minute harbor cruise glides along the Cooper River past Civil War landmarks, antebellum estates, and the iconic silhouette of Fort Sumter, all while bottlenose dolphins and pelicans make entirely unscheduled appearances. Morning, afternoon, or sunset, there is truly no wrong time for this one.

Activity Level This trip includes walking tours on streets. You don’t need to be an athlete, but you should be comfortable on your feet for a few hours at a time.

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED

Flights to/from Charleston (CHS)

tips & gratuities for local guides, drivers & hotel staff (always optional & at your discretion)

The fine print (with a wink): Itinerary may adjust due to weather, safety, or local vibes. Think of it less as “changed plans” and more as “plot twists.” Either way, the adventure is always worth it. If I'm being honest...sometimes the adventure calls louder than the schedule.
