New Orleans
En route we call at Tupelo, the birthplace of Elvis Presley. We’ll see the house where he was born and visit a museum which is home to one of the finest collections of Elvis memorabilia in the world. DOUBLETREE BY HILTON, MEMPHIS
DAYS 7 & 8 Memphis On day 7 we’ll learn more about Elvis, starting with a visit to Sun Studios, where he made his first recordings. Next we’ll head to Graceland, the opulent mansion where the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll lived until his untimely death in 1977.
You can explore Memphis at your own pace on day 8. A stroll along Beale Street, which is lined with blues clubs, restaurants, shops and bars, is a great way to soak up the city’s vibrant atmosphere. DOUBLETREE BY HILTON, MEMPHIS
DAY 9 Natchez We’ll leave Memphis today and head to Natchez. This historic city boasts a great number of well-preserved antebellum mansions and we will step inside one of these today. Stanton Hall was built in 1859, and was occupied
by Union troops during the American Civil War. Our guided tour here will give us a fascinating glimpse into the life of wealthy cotton merchant, Frederick Stanton, and his family. HAMPTON INN & SUITES, NATCHEZ
DAY 10 New Orleans
New Orleans is our destination today, and we’ll stay here for two nights. Also known as the ‘Big Easy’, this exciting city is the home of jazz, and on our walking tour of the French Quarter we’ll hear snatches of music as we stroll along historic streets.
This evening, why not head to Bourbon Street with your travelling companions to enjoy a drink and a meal and soak up the lively atmosphere of this iconic street, where music spills from every doorway. SHERATON HOTEL, NEW ORLEANS
DAY 11 New Orleans We’ll discover even more of New Orleans on an included sightseeing tour this morning.
The rest of the day is free for you to spend as you wish. Why not join one of our optional excursions. You can enjoy a cruise on board a traditional
paddle steamer, or perhaps choose to explore Louisiana’s swamps and visit a plantation. SHERATON HOTEL, NEW ORLEANS
DAY 12 Mobile Founded in 1702 as Louisiana’s original capital, Mobile is in our sights today. Our afternoon tour will introduce its highlights, which include white-sand beaches as well as beautiful mansions and pristine gardens.
This evening why not head to a seafood restaurant, Mobile’s location on the Gulf of Mexico means you’ll be spoilt for choice. HAMPTON INN & SUITES, MOBILE
DAY 13 Montgomery
Our final destination is Montgomery, where we stay tonight. En route we’ll make a stop at Monroeville, the hometown of Harper Lee, whose novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is a classic of modern American literature. On a short sightseeing tour we’ll see the courthouse which appeared in the film adaptation.
After time for lunch we continue to Montgomery. This is where, in 1955, black seamstress Rosa Parks refused
Antebellum home in Natchez
to give up her seat on a bus to a white man, therefore violating segregation laws and ultimately helping to initiate the civil rights movement. COUNTRY INN & SUITES, MONTGOMERY
