Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

If you are a music fan—don’t miss this Southern Sounds tour! Begin with two overnights in New Orleans, where your expert Local Guide knows the sights and sounds of the Big Easy. From New Orleans, travel to Indianola, Mississippi, the hometown of the legendary musician B.B. King, and visit the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center to learn about his life and 60-plus year career. Stay three nights in Memphis, where your expert Local Guide knows Memphis’ history, like no one else-including the inside, “backstage” stories from the folks who were there. In addition to guided sightseeing, your Memphis experience includes visits to the Stax Museum, dedicated to American Soul music; the Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, tracing Memphis’ cultural and musical past; and Sun Studio, probably the world’s most famous recording studio where you’ll relive the studio’s history. You’ll also visit Graceland, Elvis’ palatial estate, and walk through the same rooms he did. You’ll even board his private jet! Also visit the Meditation Garden, where Elvis went to reflect on life and where he, and his only child Lisa Marie Presley, is laid to rest. In Nashville, where you’ll spend two nights, visit Studio B, Nashville’s oldest surviving recording studio. As one of country music’s most important recording studios, it is a must for any music fan. You’ll also visit the Country Music Hall of Fame, home to Elvis’ “solid-gold” Cadillac, and the world-famous Grand Ole Opry, where you’ll see a show. For music lovers, this Southern Sounds tour designed for value-minded travelers is a once-in-a-lifetime vacation!

I have taken about 18 wonderful tours with Cosmos. I am sold on Cosmos!

Even though this was a budget tour, no meals were provided INCLUDING BREAKFAST. Going out for breakfast, lunch & dinner adds up, so I personally would not book a budget tour again. Also, departure times for tours were VERY early EVERY day (7:30 or 8:00). I will look into tours that depart around 9:00 each day.

The trip was absolutely great. We had wonderful time and it was better than I expected. Our tour director is one of the best directors I've ever had. She was very knowledgeable and also very helpful. I would definitely travel with Cosmos again.

Everything about this trip was wonderful. We had a great time and saw so much. Our tour director was great and very helpful. I felt that the hotel was too far from the downtown area in Nashville. I like being in walking distance.

Our guide was the best guide I have ever had and the tour was totally fun. Everyone should do this tour.
