This tour of the Deep South allows you to experience the area’s famous southern charm and hospitality firsthand. What has grown in popularity in recent years is the diverse and original music trail, starting from the windy city of Chicago and ending in the energetic New Orleans. When thinking of the blues, many immediately think of cities such as Memphis. However, Chicago hosts a huge blues music scene that is destined to be discovered. You will then head to the most famous country music city on the planet, Nashville, the birthplace of country music where the sound of foot-tapping honky-tonk beats mingles with the hum of country crooners taking to the mic. Travelling further south, you'll reach Memphis, a vibrant city on the banks of the Mississippi River where the dulcet tones of blues guitar riffs collide with the scent of smoky BBQ, and where Elvis is always in the building. After that, visit the town of Natchez for some classic southern hospitality before heading to the ultimate music destination, New Orleans.

St Louis is the largest City along Route 66 between Chicago and Los Angeles, and there are many “must-sees” and related sites on The Mother Road. Its iconic, 630-ft. Gateway Arch, built in the 1960s, honours the early 19th-century explorations of Lewis and Clark and America's westward expansion in general. With its cache of vibrant museums, gardens, parks and breweries, you'll find plenty of reasons to meet in St. Louis. Family-oriented travelers will likely venture to Forest Park for a Saint Louis Zoo visit. Others will savor complimentary drinks at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery before embarking on a pub crawl around The Loop.
