Buzzing, soulful and unique, New Orleans is the place where your journey begins. After meeting the group, you’ll start things with a bang – a delicious group dinner awaits.
You’ve got another full day to experience the many varied delights New Orleans has to offer. And what better way to get to the heart of the city than on a leisurely food tour? As you make your way around, you’ll have the opportunity to sample authentic Creole, Cajun and Soul food delicacies, just the way they’re supposed to taste.
After breakfast, it’s out of the big city and all aboard the mini-coach to Vacherie – where there’s a tour of the Oak Alley sugarcane plantation in store for us. When you’ve gained an insight into the rich history of this grand mansion, you’ll move on to our next stop: Louisiana’s vibrant state capital, Baton Rouge. Tonight, you’ll dine in Natchez – the ‘Jewel of the Mississippi’.
Today you have a full day to spend experiencing Natchez’s famous southern hospitality. Filled with beautiful parks, wonderful views over the Mississippi, pristine antebellum homes and over 300 years of history, one thing’s for sure – Natchez is a small city with plenty of character.
Back on the road! Today you’ll take to the legendary Natchez Trace Parkway for the journey to charming Vicksburg, a city perched at the top of a bluff overlooking the Mississippi. Your final stop of the day will be the Delta town of Greenwood, where you’ll tuck into an included dinner together.
Today’s itinerary has a distinctly musical theme. After breakfast, you’ll leave Greenwood behind and move on to welcoming Clarksdale, the home of the blues. Then: onwards to Memphis! Famous for Elvis Presley, Sun Studio and of course, barbecue food, the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll needs no introduction.
Memphis isn’t just a holiday destination – for some, it’s a pilgrimage site. You’ll get caught up in the magic as you pay a visit to Graceland, the former private retreat of Elvis Presley himself, for a guided tour. Not only is the mansion a fascinating way to spend a day in Memphis, but it’s also the perfect place to immerse yourself in the city’s incredible musical legacy.
One more dose of rock ‘n’ roll (in the form of a visit to Elvis’ birthplace), then you’ll roll out of Memphis and on to Jackson, the ‘City with Soul’. After making yourself at home (it’s easily done in a city so welcoming), you’ll round off your trip with one final dinner together.
Your tour will wind up back where it started, in vibrant New Orleans.
