Elvis Presley’s Memphis, New Orleans & Nashville
Journey through America’s musical heartland, from the birthplace of jazz and the cradle of rock ‘n’ roll to the undisputed capital of country music.
This wonderful holiday is crammed full of highlights, and infused with the magic and mystique, sights and sounds of the South. Beginning in Georgia you’ll travel through the world of WC Handy, Robert Johnson, Fats Domino, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and – of course – Elvis Presley. Stay in New Orleans, the laid-back Big Easy. See Tupelo, the King’s birthplace, and Memphis, where he made his home. And, finally, head to the guitar-pickin’, banjo-playing songwriters’ city, Nashville, Tennessee.
