Historic Tours of America Offers Special Holiday Tours in Three US Cities.
Online, December 14, 2009 (Newswire.com) - On board Old Town Trolley in Savannah and St. Augustine and the Conch Tour Train in Key West, guests are given an insider's view at some of the cities' most well known places and most beautifully decorated buildings and neighborhoods. In St. Augustine, the tour includes hot apple cider, homemade cookies, caroling and a look at the historic district that has been transformed into a winter wonderland with more than two million lights. Guests also receive a complimentary pair of magical viewing glasses straight from Santa's workshop, enhancing the glimmer, twinkle and beauty of the lights. In Savannah, the tour makes two stops-first, to the historic Davenport House where guests on board can see how a typical 19th century family celebrated the holidays. And next, to the Savannah Candy Kitchen where they receive a free sample. In Key West, the Conch Tour Train treats guests to warm apple cider and homemade cookies before transporting them on an hour-long journey throughout the island, showing off the most famous places and the neighborhoods that are known for their impressive holiday displays.
"Our conductor elves are delighted to entertain and amuse guests with tales of favorite Holiday traditions" says Chris Belland, CEO of Historic Tours of America. "For the last 25 years, we've shown thousands of visitors in cities across the United States the most famous, intriguing and historically important sights. It's great to be able to do that while celebrating the holiday season along the way." He added.
The Historic Tours of America tour guides are well-versed and enthusiastic historians, known for entertaining guests with humorous anecdotes and narratives that include many historical facts about the people and places in the featured cities.
Each of the cities that are offering the special Holiday Tours has their own schedule and may require reservations in advance. Private charters and group tours may also be available.
