Southern Sounds & Elvis
If you are a music fan, don’t miss this Southern Sounds & Elvis tour! Begin with two overnights in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, 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. (Blues Boy) King, and visit the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center to learn about his life and 60-plus year career and why the Mississippi Delta is the birthplace of the blues. Stay three nights in Memphis, where you’ll take a tour with an expert Local Guide who knows Memphis’ history like no one else – including the inside, “backstage” stories from the folks who were there. You’ll visit Graceland, Elvis’ palatial estate, and walk through the same rooms as the “King of Rock-n-Roll.” You can even board his private jet! Then 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 enjoy reserved seats at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry where country’s biggest names have performed! You’ll also have the chance to take an optional excursion to see both Historic RCA Studio B, Nashville’s oldest surviving recording studio where Elvis recorded more than 200 songs, including “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” and visit the Country Music Hall of Fame to see the memorabilia, musical instruments and glittering costumes of the people who shaped country music.
