Encounter Nashville and New Orleans
Overview
A holiday combining two of America’s most fun and fascinating cities – Nashville and New Orleans. Fly into Nashville, one of the most exciting music cities in the world, with its roots in country music and contemporary influences. Enjoy a few days, and nights, exploring the studios, museums, attractions and live music venues. Then fly down to New Orleans where you will find more music, this time with jazz as its centre. Here there is also delicious cuisine to be sampled, historic streets to be strolled and you could perhaps venture into the supernatural with a Ghosts & Spirits Walking Tour. This itinerary is just a suggestion – if you would like more or less time in either city, or perhaps add another music city such as Memphis or Chicago – then we’ll tailor-make the holiday to suit you.
