Day One
Fly to Atlanta to board the coach for the transfer to your overnight hotel in Montgomery.
Day Two
Head to New Orleans today for a two-night stay. Savour the beauty and romance of the South on board the Steamboat 'Natchez' on an optional excursion. Enjoy views of the New Orleans skyline, and a locally flavoured buffet dinner, as this elegant and authentic paddle steamer cruises the Mississippi and the renowned 'Dukes of Dixieland' play.
Day Three
This morning's optional guided city tour introduces the 'Big Easy'. Don't miss the time-warped, iron-balconied buildings of the French Quarter, centred on Jackson Square. Afterwards, join our optional Louisiana swampland excursion for a glimpse of the city's surrounding countryside and a taste of Creole life. In the evening, head back to the 'Quarter' and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the place that gave the world jazz. For a lively introduction to night-time in the city, join our optional excursion and enjoy native jazz in a local club.
Day Four
Leaving New Orleans today you'll start your Elvis journey with a visit to Tupelo, where you might wish to visit the tiny house that was the star's birthplace (entrance not included). Afterwards, a short journey brings you to Elvis's beloved hometown, the bustling cotton capital of Memphis. This evening, soak up the atmosphere of colourful Beale Street.
Day Five
Don't miss today's optional full-day Memphis Sounds excursion, which will include a visit to the famous Sun Studio, the recording birthplace of legends from Elvis to the mighty BB King, and to perhaps the most famous southern 'mansion' of all, Elvis's iconic Graceland.
Day Six
Enjoy a scenic drive through the wooded Tennessee hills and farmland to Nashville, the world capital of country music. An optional excursion introduces you to the Country Music Hall of Fame and the legendary Studio B, the starting point for more popular hits than any other recording studio in the USA.
Day Seven
After a morning free in Nashville we'll journey south to cheery Chattanooga, of Choo-Choo fame, for a one-night stay.
Day Eight
Spend the morning relaxing, then head to Atlanta Airport in the afternoon to board your flight home.
Day Nine
Arrive back home, after an overnight flight.
February 5th 2013 and February 25th 2014 departures offer the chance to see the city pre-Mardi Gras. Enjoy the party atmosphere as decorated floats run through the streets, as they're readied for the big Shrove Tuesday annual celebration.
