Music Capitals of the South
Tour Overview
Your Guided Group Holiday To USA
Let’s explore the southern states of the U.S.A and discover how various cities contributed to different music genres. Our tour will begin in New Orleans, the "Big Easy," known for its vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures. On the way to Memphis, we’ll visit Natchez to see Antebellum mansions, these plantation houses are an icon of the southern states and a reminder of their historical ties to slavery. In Tupelo, we’ll see the birthplace of Elvis Presely and learn about his childhood. In Memphis, listen to blues, jazz and rock 'n' roll spill out from the clubs along Beale Street. We’ll take a guided tour of the legendary Sun Studio, where Elvis Presley, B.B. King and Johnny Cash recorded albums there and we’ll learn more about the ‘King of Rock & Roll’ with an excursion to Graceland. Our final city will be Nashville, widely considered the spiritual home of country music and we’ll learn more at the Country Music Hall of Fame, which has the biggest collections of country music artefacts and memorabilia in the world. Join us on this musical USA tour, uncover some of the most vibrant and historical cities in America.
