If you want to do more than just see the sights, this immersive historic tour is calling your name! The South gets mighty steamy in the summertime. Pack appropriately, drink plenty of water, and you might even grow to love it. September to November is the rainy season, so you should pack a rain jacket and waterproof shoes if you’re travelling over this period.You're in the Deep South of the USA, so expect a lot of (delicious) fried food and barbecue. Vegetarians and Vegans may have fewer options, as most southern cuisine is meat-based.You may also want to check out our Best of the South trip if you have a longer time to explore the region: https://www.intrepidtravel.com/united-states/best-south-atlanta-new-orleans-150418
