Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: New Orleans - Arrival
Arrive at New Orleans International airport, transfer on your own to your hotel. Relax at your hotel or take a walk around your hotel to familiarize yourself.
Overnight at New Orleans
Day 2: New Orleans (-/-/-)
The day is yours to immerse yourself in the charm and excitement of one of America's most unique cities and for you to take in the French flavor & grandeur of New Orleans. May we suggest starting the day with a visit to a working plantation (optional). Explore the French Quarter with its trademark wrought-iron balconies overlooking the narrow cobblestone streets.
Overnight in New Orleans
Day 3: New Orleans - Baton Rouge - Natchez (-/-/-)
This morning, we will travel to the capital of Louisiana, Baton Rouge, for a brief city tour. From there, we will travel via the historic Natchez Trace Parkway to Natchez. The parkway is a 444-mile drive through exceptional scenery and years of Native American and European history. Natchez is the oldest European settlement on the Mississippi River. Before the Civil War, wealthy plantation owners from Louisiana built magnificent Antebellum homes here because the area was considered safer from flooding. This afternoon, we will visit one of the homes and learn about the wealth of these 19th-century millionaires.
Overnight in Natchez
Day 4: Natchez - Mississippi River Valley - Memphis (-/-/-)
Leave Natchez and drive to Memphis, home of “Sun Records”. As a large river port, it was one of the most significant links in the cotton trade before the Civil War. Memphis is also known as the \"home of the blues.\" A brief city tour will take you to the city's liveliest street, Beale Street, where the blues and other types of music are played nightly in nearly a dozen clubs. Travel along the historic Front Street, known as Cotton Row in the days when cotton traders and merchants conducted business here. No visit to Memphis would be complete without a trip to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley (optional).
Overnight in Memphis
Day 5: Memphis - Nashville (-/-/-)
Continue your journey to Nashville, known as the capital of country music. The city earned its title with the very first airing of the WSM Barn Dance radio program, the forerunner of the Grand Ole Opry. The newly renovated Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville, once home to the Grand Ole Opry, the studios near Music Row, and Opryland itself demonstrate Nashville's reputation as the most important city in country music.
Overnight in Nashville
Day 6: Nashville (-/-/-)
Begin your day in the thriving cultural and state capital of Tennessee with a morning city tour. While exploring the city's landmarks, perhaps you will discover a new country music classic before they even hit the charts as you visit one of the many recording studios in town. Perhaps enjoy dinner and a show in the evening as an optional excursion.
Overnight in Nashville
Day 7: Nashville - Chattanooga - Atlanta (-/-/-)
Leaving Music City, we will continue our journey to Chattanooga, home to the famous Choo Choo. This city has received national recognition for the renaissance of its beautiful downtown core and redevelopment of the riverfront. In the afternoon, our trails will guide us back to Atlanta where you may choose to explore one of the sites you were not able to experience at the start of the tour, such as the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca Cola, and CNN Center.
Overnight in Atlanta
Day 8: Atlanta Departure (-/-/-)
Your 08-day exploration of this fascinating city of the USA comes to an end with a transfer on your own to the Atlanta International airport.
