Next Stop: Memphis â Blues & Soul on Beale Street
Next, weâre off to Beale Street in Memphis, Tennesseeâwhere the soulful strains of blues, soul, and rock ânâ roll were born! Known as the home of the blues, Beale Street is where legends like B.B. King and Otis Redding got their start. And when you walk down this iconic street, youâll feel the spirit of Memphis in every note.

Welcome to New Orleans, Louisianaâs most important port city. People from all over the world have been arriving in New Orleans since the Sieur de Bienville laid out the cityâs streets in 1718. The city today is a unique blend of Spanish, French, Caribbean, African and Anglo- Saxon influences. This is obvious in the food, architecture and, of course, the music. Your tour guide will be at the hotel to welcome you to New Orleans and, after check in, will be available to help you plan your stay in this charming and bustling city.
The day is yours to immerse yourself in the charm and excitement of one of Americaâs most unique cities. Your tour guide will assist you with planning the dayâs activities. Perhaps start the day with an early morning optional tour taking you to a famous Louisiana Plantation followed by a jazz brunch in the Quarter. Enjoy window shopping along Royal Streetâs art galleries, or while away the day lazily sipping coffee in the cafe Du Monde. Take a stroll along the Mississippi River or ride the St. Charles streetcar through the Garden District, an area known for its magnificent architecture.
Spend another day enjoying the sights and sounds of New Orleans. Perhaps you would like to do a Graveyard Tour, a âHauntedâ bus trip or even spend time at the Casino before the evening entertainment on Bourbon Street begins.

Itâs time to wave goodbye to Memphis and head to Nashville, known as the capital of country music. The city earned its title with the first airing of the WSM Barn Dance radio program, the forerunner of the Grand Ole Opry. We will be stopping on the way to Nashville in Jackson, Tennessee for a spot of lunch and you will have time to visit The Casey Jones Museum if you wish.
