Short Visit to Where Soul Lives

After we decided to go on a day-trip to Macon, GA from Atlanta we had no idea how long that less than 100 miles drive (one way) would take us. Moreover, after getting trapped in a terrible traffic jam on I-75 we knew that the remaining time at our destination would be very limited. The reason was road/bridge construction and there was even more of that nature when we came to Macon's city limits! But after we finally made it there were numerous warm hearted people who gave us directions to Visit Macon where we met Steven Fulbright the city's Tourism Director. He introduced his "product" to us by performing a 10 minutes video (available in several foreign languages as well) on history, attractions and festivals in a theater within their very modern and stylishly arranged visitor centre. So beautiful! Steven answered all our questions and booked a tour for us at Hay House, one of America's Finest Antebellum Houses. The house is not inhabited these days but it definitely is one of the local spots "where soul lives"! Marci, a lovely House Docent, took us around and shared her knowledge with us. After this exciting experience we at PHIL'S WORLD TRAVEL will for sure recommend Macon, GA to our clients...

And hear about Macon’s history and fun facts. It’s in a small bus (so no walking in the heat). Our guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable and Samuela made sure we were safe. It was very affordable and I recommend this...
