Overview

From the most famous rock’n roll residence in the world, to the intimate clubs of “Music City”, music history runs deep in the South. Stroll through the city centres of Nashville and Memphis to hear some Blues and Country, and wake up in Birmingham in time for church to hear the gospel choirs sing. Enjoy travelling the rolling hills cut with creeks and rivers in between cities, rich with musical roots. Elvis is that star of the show on this tour, with chances to see palatial Graceland and his more modest beginnings in sleepy Tupelo.  Rock’n roll also takes a front seat with a visit to Muscle Shoals, a place Keith Richards calls “Rock’n roll heaven” – and for good reason – with lots of opportunity to tour studios made famous by the iconic rock bands and folk singers. Don’t miss out on highlights such as Jack Daniel’s Distillery, the iconic Grand Ol’ Opry or the impressive U.S. Space & Rocket Center, the world’s largest space Museum.

Arrive in Atlanta and travel to Birming- ham, Alabama, to see the Barber Vin- tage Motorsport Museum, home to the  world’s largest motorcycle collection. The museum has over 1,200 vintage and modern motorcycles  and race cars. Spend time in the entertainment dis- trict in downtown Birmingham. Pick up your car.
