Soulful Deep South USA tours
The Deep South has its own distinctive flavour – the complexities of its history have shaped a region that is vibrant and full of heritage. There is no mistaking the dulcet tones of a Southern drawl, the fine cuisine - from crispy fried chicken, shrimp and grits, to Mississippi mud pie - or the lively music scene. No trip to the Southern states would be complete without experiencing the party atmosphere in New Orleans and Bourbon Street – the heart of the French Quarter.
Our Deep South holidays will also take you to walk the line in Nashville, Tennessee, the music city that was home to so many musical legends. Sail the mighty Mississippi River and learn how it impacted The Civil Rights Movement, as well as explore the historical and elegant cities of Vicksburg and Natchez. Be seduced by the rugged and lush landscapes and immerse yourself in diverse and exciting cultures, on what will be a truly unique American experience.

What our experts love about the USA's Deep South

Whether you’re travelling to learn about the history of Atlanta or Mississippi, or to Tennessee for culture and cuisine, our Deep South tours put one of America’s most exciting regions on a rich and storied platter. Here are just a few of the places, tours and experiences we think you’ll love in America’s Deep South.
Memphis
The culture of the Deep South is tied intrinsically to its musical heritage - and nowhere is this more evident than the city of Memphis, Tennessee. Our Memphis tours tap into this tradition in fine style, incorporating visits to Graceland, home of the city's favourite son, Elvis Presley. The King's estate includes an audio tour and viewings of his final resting place - making for an emotional journey through the life of an individual who redefined rock 'n' roll.

Nashville
Staying in Tennessee, the northern city of Nashville adds its own notes to the state's musical landscape. As the location of the famed Country Music Hall of Fame, Nashville's relationship with this genre is evident on every corner: from the twinkling lights of the Grand Ole Opry, the longest running stage concert in America - to the rows of classic 'honky-tonk' bars in the lively downtown district. Our Nashville tours also cater to food fanatics: the city has a reputation for producing some of the south's finest barbecue cuisine.

New Orleans
Completing the musical identity of the Deep South is New Orleans, Louisiana. Our trips to the city showcase its raucous party culture, which combines Creole and Cajun influences into a tradition of exciting jazz music. As the home of Mardi Gras, New Orleans' party reputation is world famous, but when visitors are not soaking up the sights and sounds of the vibrant French Quarter, a relaxing jazz cruise on board authentic paddle steamer The Natchez is a fine way to see the sights.
