Itinerary:
Day One: New Orleans
Welcome to New Orleans! Your Tour Director is on hand late this afternoon to answer any questions.
Day Two: New Orleans – Tupelo
The morning is dedicated to the sights and sounds of this Old World city. First, visit the French Quarter, including St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square. Next, learn about the city's unique burial customs at an above-ground cemetery, followed by a leisurely drive down historic St. Charles Avenue to enjoy its stately mansions and clanging streetcars. Overnight in Tupelo, Elvis Presley's Birthplace.
Day Three: Tupelo – Memphis
Today begins with a visit to the Elvis' Birthplace & Museum, a small, 2-room house built by the singer's father, Vernon Presley. You will also visit the Elvis Presley Museum, featuring "Remembrance of Things Past," an exhibit displaying memorabilia from Elvis' childhood. It's here that you can see, feel, and touch where the "King of Rock `n' Roll" began his musical journey. Afterward, journey to Memphis, and spend the next three nights at the Guest House at Graceland.
Day Four: Memphis
This morning, experience this amazing city on your guided city sightseeing tour. Your expert Local Guide knows the history of Memphis like no one else-including the inside, "backstage" stories from the folks who were there. For music lovers, a visit to the Stax Museum of American Soul Music is next. Then, on to the Rock 'N' Soul Museum, which traces Memphis' cultural and musical past. End the day with a visit to Sun Studio, probably the most famous recording studio in the world, where rock `n' roll was first recorded. Hear outtakes from sessions, touch Elvis' first microphone, see memorabilia, and relive the history of the studio that launched the careers of Johnny Cash, BB King, and many other music legends.
Day Five: Memphis – Excursion to Graceland
Today is dedicated to a guided audio tour of Graceland. Experience life as Elvis did by walking through the decadent and quirky rooms where he felt truly at home. Finish your tour of Graceland with a visit to the Meditation Garden, where Elvis often went to reflect on life, and where he is now laid to rest along with members of his family. You'll also be able to board "The King's" private jet!
Day Six: Memphis – Nashville
Today, we head to Nashville-"Music City USA." Settle in for a private performance and discussion with Johnny and June's only son, John Carter Cash. John Carter will entertain you with his own original music, as well as a few numbers made famous by his legendary family, and he'll even be available for photographs and autographs afterward. NOTE: In the event that the performance with John Carter Cash is not available, a private performance with Granddaughter of Johnny and June Cash or youngest brother of Johnny Cash will be substituted. The Cash family will share their memories and perform the songs of Johnny Cash. All performances are subject to availability.
Day Seven: Nashville
Nashville is the ideal destination for music fans, history buffs, and lovers of the South. Start your day with a visit to Studio B, Nashville's oldest surviving recording studio and one of the country's most important. Between 1957 and 1977, more than 35,000 songs were recorded here, including 262 Elvis Presley recordings. Studio B is a "must-see" for any music fan, but especially for those who love Elvis. Afterward, enjoy an orientation tour of the city, passing by famous Music Row recording studios, the centre of the recording industry, which first developed in the 1950s. Get behind the scenes of the music industry by visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame with its glittering costumes, rare instruments, and Elvis Presley's "solid-gold" Cadillac. Tonight, see an unforgettable show at the world famous grand Ole Opry, the world's premier country music venue since 1925 and the setting for the nation's longest-running music show.
