The Bluegrass State of Kentucky combines southern charm with the frontier past of the Wild West. Tennessee is home to the Grand Ole Opry, the venue that defines country music. And we can grant you exclusive backstage access. If that doesn’t get your lips smacking we also can point you in the direction of the best hot chicken in the state.
Alabama’s civil rights history and harrowing past of segregation is vividly brought to life on a tour of Montgomery with a local. Over at Muscle Shoals recording studios there is a very different story to tell: here the melting pot of America worked to create sweet soul music and a sweet home in Alabama. In Huntsville cutting-edge research into the space program can be discovered by families and children at a thrilling Space Camp.
Meanwhile in Mississippi you can step back in time on a historic steam-boat cruise past old-world ports, grand homes and former plantations, down the legendary river.
The party never stops in Louisiana’s New Orleans. You can take a private tour of the city’s French Quarter to see the colonial townhouses and the places where jazz and blues began and continues to permeate the air.
