Great historical tour at a leisure pace. So nice to be able to take in so many sites without feeling rushed. The collection of old houses from across Georgia was a great stop. The view from the fortress was unforgettable. Being able to visit the battlefield that catapulted Georgia into a golden age was a true honor. It was a great experience!
