This was a great program and exceeded my expectations. The smaller group (31) enhanced the experience.

This was my first Road Scholar experience...it was fabulous. Paul Blatner, our tour leader, was fantastic...a walking and talking book with never-ending information and intriguing stories. The history, architecture, food, music and folklore of Savannah came alive with Paul's expertise, knowledge and experience. He was always enthusiastic and filled us with wonder. Our walking tours and varied speakers gave us all many hours of entertainment and enlightenment. Our cooking school experience with Chef Darrin was fabulous and delicious. Thank you Paul and the Road scholar staff for a wonderful week in beautiful, historic Savanna, GA. What a memorable gift for us all!

Marshall and Gerri from North Carolina Do not miss this program. This was our first Road Scholar experience and were frankly skeptical that the value added by Road Scholar would justify the expense. But were we wrong. This program is first class from day one. Would we change some things, probably, but not enough to discourage anyone from this program. The Cooking School is, as some others have said, incredible. Paul is a gem.

THE HISTORIC SAVANNAH WAS EVERYTHING PLUS WHAT I COULD HAVE HOPED FOR..THE PROGRAMS,MUSIC,PEOPLE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. SO WELL PLANNED. JEAN FROM MAINE 4/10/13-4/19/13

Great trip!! Historic Savannah is wonderful and the course was excellent. Good balance of history, music, and good food!!

This program was everything that I hoped it would be and more. I felt like I really got to learn in depth about Savannah. the cooking class was extrordinary

We had a great time in Savannah. The program was educational and fun, satisfying for those with an interest in southern history, architecture, the arts, cooking, and music. I have written up a detailed description of our experience at http://www.posix.com/SAV13/index.html

Everything about this program was great - actually exceeded our expectations. My husband and I are very new to Road Scholar and we will be looking at more programs in the future.

The program was fabulous. I learned so much about history that I did not know. The instrctors were very knowlegeable about history and I enjoyed the the other programs besides the history sessions as well. The food was great and I enjoyed visiting the different historical houses built and restored. This was my third Road Scholar trip and they were all great. Froydis Beckerman Columbia, MD

Excellent program. Good instructors. Great learning experience. (History,music,& architecture of Savannah). Good local restaurants. Good accommodations in historical district of Savannah. Dick and Pat Krueger. Brookfield, WI

The program was everything and more than was advertised. I am looking forward to my next trip with Road Scholar

A wonderful tour that far exceeded my expectations. Interesting presentation of history, southern cooking and music. Food was good.

excellent value; incredible presentors; delicious food; and a wonderful adventure to a southern urban city.

A great trip!!! Wonderful break from the winter weather. Super to see green grass and flowers!! Presentors were top notch, field trips interesting and educational. The cooking class was fun and the food amazing!!! Sign up and go!!

Following the Siege of Charleston Road Scholar program we spent the weekend in Beaufort SC (loved it), then on to the Savannah Road Scholar tour. We recommend it highly but felt that the Architecture lecture should have been on the first day rather than the last. We also would have preferred to have the Kim Polote Trio in the evening. The accommodations at the hotel were very very nice but the food left much to be desired. The restaurants, other than the hotel, were delightful. The cooking class was tops on my list but then the Kim Polote Trio and the Gen Oglethorpe events were outstanding as well. All in all, we recommend the tour.

Don't change a thing!

Savannah may be the most beautiful city I've ever seen.

....this program was FABULOUS: education, tours, meals and hotel.......ps....weather was perfect.

Loved Savannah, GA. The Road Scholar Program was enjoyable from day one until we left. It is well worth the cost.

An outstanding program!!! This was our 5th -- and we rank it high in the standings. Savannah has a rich, vibrant history -- and the presenters at this program did it proud. EVERY presenter was superb. We learned and enjoyed so much during our session. Savannah is truly unique. We had excellent accomodations, were located in a delightful walking area in the historic district, experienced a wide range of activities, had excellent coordinators (Paul and Jacky), and experienced a variety of dining venues. Best of all, we were part of a delightful group from across the States.

This was our 5th or 6th Road Scholar trip. Every one has been a uniquely different and pleasurable learning experience. I must say, however, that this Savannah experience was our best one yet. The speakers were incredible, especially the hands-on cooking demo, and the Oglethorpe lecture. Fantastic !!

This was our fifth Road Scholar program. All have been a lot of fun & educational, but this was the best yet! The instructors were uniformly outstanding and entertaining. We learned a lot about Savannah and its history and - most important - had a great time!

This trip jumped to one of my top three favorites (11 trips with Road Scholar). It offered much variety in terms of exploring and classroom time -- history, foods and cooking, architecture, music, museums, and lifestyle of Old Savannah. Just the right amount of free time. Central location of hotel was perfect -- walking distance to everything. Programs were fascinating and well-presented by knowledgeable historians.

The Rhodes Scholar program titled historic Savannah was excellent. It was interesting with a wide variety of programs and activities.

Savannah, a charming Southern city is definitely well worth visiting and the information and tours given were worth attending.

Excellent program. Learned a great deal about the Old South. Exceptional leader. Great hotel. Interesting activities. Highly recommended without reservations.

Being from the south, I loved everything about Savannah. I've heard much of the information before but never presented like Road Scholar presented it. It was wonderful. I certainly will take another Road Scholar trip.

It was a wonderful experience. The history, culture, and architecture of Savannah was truly amazing and enjoyable. The field trips were outstanding and the speakers and presenters were equally outstanding. Meeting people from different places made it interesting and fun. The food was outstanding.

From history, to music, to cooking, to eating what a delightful adventure.

This program was all one could ask for: a perfect balance of learning and fun, wonderful leader and speakers/performers; a great location for exploring historic Savannah; exceptional accommodations, and a real bargain.

What a fabulous time I had with my two friends on this tour! The variety of the restaurants was wonderful, the sessions were very interesting, and the tours were great too. I had never been to Savannah and am so glad I chose this way to see it.

Good program. Enjoyed Savannah more than I expected to. Particularly enjoyed learning what an important part this area played in the American Revolutionary War. I had no Idea that most of that war was fought in the area South of Virginia.
Meals were very good, and weather perfect the whole time.

The program was delightful. The different restaurants was a plus and the music and history at the program were special.

I highly recommed this program. It was well planned, informative,educational and just plain fun. We look forward to planning more trips with Roads Scholar.

Great Organization! Enjoyed all the Road Scholar trips I have been on. The Savannah program was extremely well planned and coordinated with both active and classroom learning. Keep up the good work. Look forward to another trip next year. Dalia

This is an exceptional way to discover and gain a better understanding historically. It is much more indepth than doing it on your own. Everything is organized and ready to enjoy.

If you think you have been to Savannah yet have not been with Road Scholar and Armstrong University, then think again!!! I had just spent two days in Savannah on a trip with friends and I still learned so much more!!! I could do this one again in a minute!!!!!

The Savannah program is of outstanding quality, led by an interesting and colorful Paul Blattner. It strikes a good balance with educational lectures, entertainment and the delights of southern cooking.

I have never been disappointed on any of your programs. Looking forward to our next one.

My wife Anne and I attended with Pauline and her husband Ron a raft of totally wonderful folks. We shared some completely spontaneous and memorable moments which will make me smile for years. The subtitle of this course could have been "eating your way through Historic Savannah". If all you know about Savannah is what you see on the cable food networks, "y'all ain,t seen nothin yet!" The restaurants in which we dined were wonderful! The cooking lesson was informative, lighthearted, even "life-changing." The group leader Paul Blatner is a true Southern gentleman who uses all of his inside contacts to make the week enjoyable.

What a wonderful program. Paul, our leader, was as good as they get AND more. The narrators, showman, cooking class, field trips. restaurants, hotel and meals could not have been better. A very enjoyable week.

A wonderful experience. Savannah is beautiful and very visitor friendly. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in our southern colonial past. I learned so much!

I thoroughly agree with everything Nancy from MN said. Our tour leader really packed in a lot of information, and I wish the program had been longer. I appreciated having a first-rate historian as a program leader; his knowledge gave so much depth to the learning experience. The food was great, the hotel comfortable, and everything combined to create a congenial atmosphere.

Yes, I agree. This program was delightful. Lots of variety with the cooking class being one of the highlights for me. The Johnny Mercer music presentation was delightful. All the presenters shared a lot of info in their field of knowledge. Everything was perfect, including the weather. Not too hot, not too cold.

This program's variety and leader made it a pleasure to attend. Highlights were cooking class, Johnny Mercer music, and house museum tours. We recommend it.

This Road Scholar about the history and music of Savannah was outstanding!! The program leader was extremely knowledgable about many different aspects of the history of Savannah. The different presenters were all excellent, but "General Oglethorpe" was the top. He had so much information, and he presented it in such a unique way that made learning fun. How I wish history teachers in our schools would use methods like this when possible. Our cooking experience with Chef Darin was fun, but it was also definitely a learning experience...and I don't even enjoy cooking! All the field trips were great: learning about the different styles of architecture; learning about the people who used to live in some of the homes; learning where the builders got their materials; fires and rebuilding; it was all very interesting. Our hotel was very nice, a great location, and the breakfasts were very good. I highly recommend this Road Scholar.
