When you stop in Beaufort do a kayak tour. It was fascinating skirting around old rice plantations and seeing slave quarters that were built into the banks and our guide was an awesome historian. Lots of nature, birds, turtles etc. I can't remember the name of the outfit we used unfortunately. As for Savannah, I suggest this every time someone here asks but have dinner at The Olde Pink House and get the shrimp and grits. Be sure to get to the SCAD store to browse for interesting art.

Love both cities! In Charleston we did a historic walking tour, can’t recall the name of the tour company but it was fun. We also took a day trip to Ferry Beach and had lunch at a clam-shack type of place close to the beach. Restaurants in Charleston we enjoyed — Hall’s Chophouse, Magnolias, Cru Cafe, Pearlz for lunch. Also, not sure if it’s warm enough in Feb., but we visited some fun rooftop bars for pre dinner drinks. In Savannah, we liked The Olde Pink House, Alligator Soul, and Local Eleven Ten. We did lots of walking and shopping in both cities, so bring good walking shoes!

I was also going to suggest you read Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil before your trip to Savannah also. It’s amazing how easy it is to spot most of the sights in town because of how they are described in the book.

For Savannah, ditto the Olde Pink House and other suggestions are Mrs Wilkes Dining Room, Gryphon Tea Room, The Grey, Leopold’s Ice Cream. Tour Bonaventure Cemetery, Juliet Gordon Low House if you were a Girl Scout, Tybee Island, Forsyth Park and SCAD shops. Take a trolley tour if you can.

There is an actual "midnight in the garden of good and evil" tour in savannah (or at least there used to be). Yes to the Pink House. A few good antique shops. We much prefer Charleston and go there often. (We'll be there in April.) If you like seafood, Shem Creek (near Mt. Pleasant/Isle of Palms area - just outside of Charleston) is the place to go. This is where the fishing boats come in. Vickery's is a good restaurant in Shem Creek. My favorite of the tours is a harbor tour (boat), and we also like the horse and buggy tours. There are walking tours, bus tours, etc. also. Go to the harbor front area. Temps will be very iffy in Charleston in February. Probably not warm enough for the beach but Kiawah, Seabrook and Sullivan have great beaches. Kiawah and Seabrook are lushly vegetated and you will see wildlife. I think Sue meant Folly Beach. Much more rentals, more commercial. The others I mentioned are more private. We do not shop other than antiques - you will find some good shops in the area. Enjoy!

Thank you for all the suggestions of places to add to our list of "must do's". I knew I could count on this group for help in planning this trip.

There have been some older threads that you can search on and may find other suggestions there. Here's one: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/4938940/suggestions-for-charleston-beaufort-and-savannah#n=21

If you have time a sailboat tour of the harbor is so very nice. Ours was with Captain Jay Keeney of Charleston Sailboat Charters, https://charlestonsailboat.com/. A must IMO, is a meal at The Tattooed Moose. Their duck sandwich and French fries cooked in duck fat were wonderful. https://www.tattooedmoose.com/. We truly had a great time in Charleston. Took a carriage ride around the old city with Charleston Carriage Works, https://mycharlestoncarriage.com/; our driver told us so many things about the old city - his mother and father had retired as carriage drivers also - and was so knowledgeable. Magnolia Gardens was super, too, but February is probably not a good month for a tour. We also drove to many places, I cannot recall all of them. One place we drove to was the Angel Tree, the oak tree that is so old, https://www.angeloaktree.com/. Drove to beaches and just everywhere. We loved our visit to Charleston. It is a great city. There is also the Charleston Market, it is mainly for tourists, but is fun to walk around and see the huge variety of things for sale. Hope you and your daughters enjoy your visit as much as we did.
