Day One: Fly to the USA

Fly into Atlanta, then transfer to the Alabama state capital, Montgomery. Spend the night in the city where country legend Hank Williams was laid to rest, and where a special museum celebrates his short, spectacular career.

Day Two: From Montgomery, Alabama to New Orleans

The gentle landscape of Harper Lee’s Alabama gives way to the vast verdant wetlands of Louisiana as you follow the Gulf Coast to New Orleans. Once there, head out to absorb the exuberant energy of this lively city, or join your optional dinner jazz cruise on board a traditional southern steamboat.

Day Three: Optional New Orleans tour and Manchac Swamp excursion

Explore the Big Easy on today’s optional guided tour. See the iron-balconies and covered sidewalks of the French Quarter, the brightly painted wooden houses of Treme and the three spires of St Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square.

Later, head into the surrounding countryside in search of the soul of Creole on your optional Louisiana swampland excursion, then return to the ‘Quarter’ for a night exploring the bars and clubs where the sounds and spirits of Louis Armstrong and ‘King’ Oliver still linger.

Day Four: From New Orleans to Tupelo and Memphis

Your focus shifts from jazz to rock ‘n’ roll today, as you leave New Orleans and head to Elvis Presley’s birthplace – Tupelo, Mississippi. You’ll have time to visit the tiny house where The King was born (entrance payable locally), before continuing on to Memphis.

Settle in to the wonderful Inn at Graceland, then head to Beale Street for an evening of great music and great food.

Day Five: Optional Sun Studio and Graceland excursion

Today’s full-day excursion includes a visit to legendary Sun Studio, where music legends from Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison to Johnny Cash and BB King recorded, and to Elvis’s beloved home and the world’s most famous rock ‘n’ roll residence – Graceland.

Day Six: From Memphis, Tennessee to Nashville

Relax as your air-conditioned coach carries you through the rolling woods and farmland of Tennessee to Nashville – the city that remains the heart and soul of country music.

Day Seven: Optional Country Music Hall of Fame and Studio B excursion

Your final excursion is one you really don’t want to miss, as you delve into the history behind the sound at the Country Music Hall of Fame, and discover the legendary recording studio that spawned more hit songs than any other in America: Studio B.

Day Eight: From Nashville to Chattanooga and Atlanta

Your final day takes us south, via Chattanooga – beautifully set on the Tennessee River – as you return to Atlanta Airport to check in for your flight back to the UK.
