Nashville Tours & Holidays

Given the musical histories of both Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee holidays are brimming with vivacious rhythms.

The state's capital, Nashville, remains the heart and soul of country music in the US. Otherwise known as Music City, it is home to various music venues that have contributed to the country genre, including the legendary Studio B, home to countless country hits and a galaxy of Elvis’ RCA recordings, and the famed Grand Ole Opry – the world's longest-running live radio show. Downtown, the Country Music Hall of Fame reveals the impact the city has made in music since the 1920s.

Nashville holidays also provide the chance to soak up the atmosphere on Honky Tonk Highway, where you’ll find enough live music venues to keep you entertained both day and night. Located on Lower Broadway, it has been the birthplace to some of country music’s finest, including Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Whether you’re a country music fan or not, a tour of Nashville simply wouldn’t be complete without an evening here.

Many of our Nashville tour packages also provide the chance to visit the city of Memphis, set on the banks of the Mississippi River and home to attractions such as Graceland, the former abode of Elvis Presley, world-famous Beale Street and the Civil Rights Museum.

Nashville hotels and restaurants serve up some fantastic desserts. Look out for coconut cake, a creamy sponge cake covered in meringue frosting and desiccated coconut, and banana pudding, composed of layers of custard, wafers and sliced banana.

As the city's signature dish, be sure to sample a hot chicken sandwich on your Nashville holiday. Consisting of pieces of crispy fried chicken topped with hot sauce, lettuce and pickles in a toasted bun, it's a rather more rock 'n' roll take on a chicken sandwich.
