The beautiful South comes alive on this wonderful vacation. Start your trip in Chicago and spend leisure time getting to know the city. See all the famous Chicago landmarks on an included sightseeing tour before heading south to St. Louis, Missouri, known as the "Gateway to the West." On your St. Louis tour, take a trip to the top of the towering Gateway Arch. Then cross the Mississippi River to Nashville, Tennessee, home of country music! A guided tour shows you Nashville's most famous sights, including the recording studios on Music Row, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and legendary RCA Studio B, once the recoding home of Elvis Presley. No vacation to Nashville is complete without a visit to the Grand Ole Opry, and you have reserved seats for a Grand Ole Opry show! Then, travel to Memphis, "Home of the Blues"—a city with a distinct Southern flair. Enjoy an orientation tour and visit Graceland, Elvis Presley's grand estate. Next, hop on the AMTRAK City of New Orleans train to Louisiana. Pass cotton fields and catfish ponds to the heart of Cajun country. Spot alligators on the waterways of Atchafalaya Basin before crossing bayou country back into New Orleans. Spend three nights in New Orleans and get acquainted with the city on your tour; see the French Quarter, St. Louis Cathedral, a unique above-ground cemetery, and more. You have plenty of leisure time to enjoy New Orleans' local restaurants, shops, and charm. What a great way to end your musical vacation to the charming South.
