What's this trip about?

    If you are a music fan—don’t miss this Southern Sounds tour! Begin with two overnights in New Orleans, where a Local Guide introduces you to the sights and sounds of the Big Easy. From New Orleans, travel to Indianola, Mississippi, the hometown of the legendary musician B.B. King, and visit the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center to learn about his life and 60-plus year career. Stay three nights in Memphis, where your expert Local Guide knows Memphis’ history, like no one else-including the inside, “backstage” stories from the folks who were there. In addition to guided sightseeing, your Memphis experience includes visits to the Stax Museum, dedicated to American Soul music and the Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, tracing Memphis’ cultural and musical past. You’ll also visit Graceland, Elvis’ palatial estate, and walk through the same rooms he did. You can even board his private jet! Visit the Meditation Garden, where Elvis went to reflect on life and where he and his only child, Lisa Marie Presley, are laid to rest. Spend two nights In Nashville, where you’ll visit Studio B, Nashville’s oldest surviving recording studio and where Elvis recorded more than 200 songs, including “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” As one of country music’s most important recording studios, it is a must for any music fan. You’ll also visit the world-famous Grand Ole Opry, where you’ll have reserved seats to see a show. This Southern Sounds & Elvis tour takes value-minded travelers on the musical journey of a lifetime!
