This two-week Southern USA tours put the focus on the region’s rich cultural heritage. As well as delving into the Deep South's Civil Rights history, uncover its musical roots with visits to Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans - the birthplaces of jazz, blues, country and rock ‘n’ roll. A real highlight of this Deep South tour is an evening at the Grand Ole Opry - a radio show since 1925, now hosting legends and contemporary artists of country, bluegrass, folk and gospel on its Nashville stage. If you choose to travel on April 20, 2027, your holiday will coincide with the vibrant New Orlean’s Jazz Festival celebrations. During this time, the entire city comes alive in the celebration of music, with lots of free live musical performances, street bands and parades, which you can discover during your free time in the city.
