Sights & Sounds of the South with Elvis' 40th Anniversary Celebration and Extended Stay in Atlanta

This southern U.S. tour is a must for music buffs, as it explores some of the locations that played a critical role in the evolution of American music. Your vacation includes two nights each in three of Tennessee’s great cities: Memphis, dubbed the “birthplace of rock ’n’ roll;” Nashville, famous for country music; and Gatlinburg, a mountain resort destination. You’ll also spend two nights in Atlanta and overnight in Asheville, Louisville, and Lexington.

Begin your vacation in Memphis with visits to the Rock ’n’ Soul Museum and Elvis Presley’s Graceland. During your time in Memphis, participate in events celebrating the life of Elvis during the 40-year anniversary of his death. In Nashville, your sightseeing tour includes visits to the Country Music Hall of Fame and legendary RCA Studio B, once a recording home of Elvis Presley. This special experience arranged by Globus even lets you make a recording to take home with you! While in Nashville, you’ll stay at the world-famous Opryland, where you’ll experience the grandeur of the South with hospitality at its finest. Also enjoy reserved seats to the world-famous Grand Ole Opry along with a backstage tour after the show—another out-of-the-ordinary adventure offered by Globus!

Other highlights of this southern U.S. tour include Dollywood, an 88-acre theme park inspired by Dolly Parton; Great Smoky Mountain National Park, America’s most visited national park; and behind-the-scenes visits to Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, and a local horse farm in Lexington—yet more hidden gems offered by Globus. In Asheville, visit George Vanderbilt’s 8,000-acre Biltmore Estate. In Atlanta, enjoy admission to the World of Coca-Cola, a guided tour of CNN Studios, and time to explore on your own.

All of this and more await you on this marvelous southern U.S. vacation highlighting the sights and sounds of the South.
