Get ready for the Southern adventure of a lifetime! Your journey kicks off in Dallas, Texas - where big hair, bold history, and beautiful cityscapes set the tone.
Jump straight into the action with a Dallas Highlights Tour featuring must-see landmarks like the JFK Memorial, Pioneer Plaza, and the iconic Old Red Courthouse. For history buffs, our full-day JFK Assassination Tour will give you goosebumps as you stand on the Grassy Knoll and explore Dealey Plaza and the Sixth Floor Museum. Then, we turn up the Western charm with a Texan BBQ-fuelled day trip to Fort Worth, complete with live cattle drives, rodeo arenas, and the legendary Stockyards.
Next, we're off to the beating heart of country music - Nashville. You'll stay at the stunning Gaylord Opryland Resort, but this is no time to lounge. You'll dive mouth-first into Southern cuisine with our exclusive BBQ, Beer & Bourbon tour, cruise the Cumberland River aboard the General Jackson Showboat, and relive music history at RCA Studio B and the Country Music Hall of Fame. And yes, you’ve got reserved seats at the Grand Ole Opry- the holy grail for country music lovers.
Then it’s time to sing the blues in Memphis, where you’ll visit Sun Studio, the Stax Museum, and - drumroll - Graceland, Elvis Presley’s legendary estate. You’ll walk in the footsteps of the King himself and soak up the soul of Memphis before heading deep into the Mississippi Delta. Clarksdale brings blues history to life at the Delta Blues Museum and Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club, where lunch comes with a side of live music.
From there, it’s off to Greenwood, a historic Southern town with film-set charm, and a stay at the luxe Alluvian Hotel. In Indianola, the B.B. King Museum will pluck your heartstrings, before we roll into Natchez, known for its antebellum mansions and Southern hospitality.
Louisiana takes the stage next, starting with Ferriday’s Delta Music Museum and the real-deal heritage tour at Frogmore Plantation. In Lafayette, you’ll join in the Cajun fun with live music, traditional dances, and hands-on experiences with Louisiana’s unique instruments and rhythms. Then, it’s on to St. Martinville and the exquisite Houmas House Plantation, before the crescendo of our journey: New Orleans.
In the Big Easy, you’ll eat, dance, and jazz your way through the French Quarter, enjoy a relaxing Mississippi River cruise, and maybe even discover your new favourite cocktail or brass band. With VIP access, expertly guided tours, and unforgettable cultural experiences around every corner, this is more than a holiday - it’s a Southern love song, and you’re the star.
