Tour Overview

Wanna tick the dreamiest cities of the south off your list? This mighty road trip takes you from Diagon Alley to Dallas (the Universal Studios version, that is!), with a generous dose of country music, iconic Elvis Presley spots and juicy jazz cafe vibes along the way. Learning about Civil Rights, space travel and much more, you’ll be utterly flawed by the majestic culture, scenery and seriously good steakhouses.

Highlights

  • Miami: Hit the streets of Miami to explore all the attractions that make the city wonderful – including South Beach and Little Havana too.

  • Orlando: Can you handle this level of excitement? All of your childhood dreams are about to come true...

  • Savannah: Take a whistle-stop tour of Savannah, and tick another awesome city off your list.

  • Nashville: Enjoy an included breakfast hosted by the Women of Thistle Farms - Thistle Farms is a non-profit dedicated to helping women survivors recover and heal from prostitution, trafficking, and addiction.

  • Memphis: Follow in the footsteps of B.B. King, Johnny Cash and Elvis as we sway from the riverfront to rock ‘n’ roll studios.

  • New Orleans: Get to know New Orleans on foot, with an orientation tour including the French Quarter – and the chance to sample the doughy and delightful New Orleans beignets.

  • Houston: Thought of as the centrepiece of downtown Houston, it’d be rude not to pay Market Square Park a visit while we’re here in Houston.

  • Dallas: Always wanted to know what it was like to live in the Wild West? Welcome to cowboy town.

My amazing trip to Africa

13-Jan-2023

Sherif was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about every single small detail at each site that we visited. In addition to his great service, he has a glowing spirit that made me feel like I had family with me the entire trip. Anything that I was concerned about, he always had an answer and was there to help. I truly enjoyed my experience and will purchase a tour with him in the future
