Cherished Coastal Getaway Review

I just completed the Weekend Coastal Vibes Tour with Olde World Travel, and it was the perfect way to enjoy a well-planned Coastal getaway. From the itinerary to the schedule and accommodations, everything was flawless! Our tour director, Jen, managed all the details, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the New Bern travel experience during this 3-day holiday celebration for the Fourth of July. With plenty of activities to enjoy, the pace was just right. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to get a taste of what down East North Carolina has to offer, as well as Jen and Olde World, to make the most of your North Carolina beach trips!
