Why I Chose This for You

This one had me smiling from the first saxophone. It’s warm, full of heart, and blends music, food and history into a rich, unforgettable rhythm. For solo travellers, it’s an easy way to be with people without pressure — the kind of trip where you might end up singing with strangers by the end of day two. It’s indulgent without being flashy, deep without being heavy, and every bit a soulful celebration of the American South.

About this Trip

From country and blues to soul and jazz, the Deep South sings with stories, flavours, and rhythms that stay with you forever. This journey takes you through Nashville, Memphis, Natchez, and New Orleans — weaving together iconic music landmarks, Southern hospitality, and delicious comfort food.
