Or step onto the hallowed grounds of the Grand Ole Opry, where country icons have graced the stage for decades, for an evening of live entertainment like no other. At the mere mention of Memphis, there’s one name that instantly springs to the mind of every old-school music lover, the King of Rock himself - Elvis Presley. Nestled in the small town of Tupelo, uncover a humble home in which Elvis polished his talents before, like him, you head to the bright lights of Memphis. Begin your tour in the Bluff City with a visit to the iconic Sun Studio, where fellow legends like Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash recorded their groundbreaking hits. Feel the raw energy of Beale Street, where live music spills out of every corner to create an electric atmosphere that captures the essence of Memphis. As the sun sets over the Mississippi River, soak in the soul-stirring melodies of breathtaking blues and gospel as you prepare to depart this musical mecca. Your next stop takes you south to Louisiana. Where waters are said to crawl with alligators and legends of black magic, voodoo, and spirits roam the treeline, the myths of Louisiana are as misty and mystical as its hazy depths. There’s an eerie beauty to the bayous that needs to be seen to be believed. Born from the collision of sensual African rhythms and the bright brass of Europe there’s no place on earth quite like New Orleans. A city where folklore comes alive and pastel streets sing with the sounds of street performers. Indulge in the vibrant nightlife of the legendary Bourbon Street, gain a glimpse into your future in the French Quarter, and let the aroma of freshly baked beignets tantalise your tastebuds. With circus acts, vivid painters, and talented performers on every corner, no matter how you choose to spend your time in this vivacious city, there’s no escaping the feel- good fun.
Your musical medley comes to an end with a final encore in the historic city of Savannah. Draped in Spanish moss and steeped in history, spend your time wandering through its storied squares and breathe in the romance of the Deep South one last time.
