You’re a leisurely traveler. You typically take it easy and discover the energy of a new place by people-watching or soaking in the atmosphere at a local café. You can climb at least one flight of stairs, board a coach, and walk unassisted at a relaxed pace for up to 60 minutes without difficulty. You can easily handle altitudes up to 5,000 feet.
You like a balanced approach to travel. Walking two to three miles over the course of a day is no problem for you. You can partake in a two-hour leisurely walking tour, covering up to two miles (with included breaks). You can handle a variety of terrains, from cobblestone streets to moderate hills with relative ease and without assistance. You can climb two flights of stairs with ease. There may be 1 to 2 days on this tour when walking tours can cover 3 to 4 miles over uneven terrain. You can handle altitudes up to 6,000 feet.
You’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal. A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you. Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.
You’re ready to seize the day, whatever it may bring. You lead an active life at home (walking, biking, and half or full day hikes are things you may enjoy) and 10,000 steps a day is normal for you. You can handle longer walking tours (more than 3 hours covering 3+ miles at a steady clip) and activities that involve traversing uneven terrain, steep slopes, standing for periods of time, and varying altitudes and temperatures. You don’t mind being on the go with some early starts, late-nights, and full days. You can handle altitudes of 9,000 feet or higher with little to no issue. This level is not appropriate for travelers who use wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility assistance devices.

We had a great trip. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. Accommodations and transports were top notch. The schedule was full and kept us moving. It was nice to have a trip all planned out. We learned a lot about the history of the cities, music styles and the artists that were prevalent in the cities we visited. The music; whether you saw a jazz band in New Orleans, a blues band in Memphis, or country stars performing at the Grand Ole Opry, they were all excellent. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour in all respects. A good chance to learn about country music and three cities. Tours of music recording studios and the National Civil Rights Museum were highlights. Going a day early to New Orleans gives you a chance to go to the World War Museum that is outstanding. Elizabeth is a great tour manager. I highly recommend the tour.

New Orleans: Tours were interesting; especially the different cultural events through the years and the Mardi Gras World tour. So many things to see! Memphis: Civil Rights tour through Memphis was personal for me. I learned so much about the movement and my family's involvement. Nashville: Singing in Studio B - I have the CD as a memento for the great grand children! The Grand Ole Opry was amazing!

Flights went well especially because it was school vacation week. The hotels were very nice! The Sheraton bar and food were very good. The Graceland Guest House was top notch and the Gaylord Hotel was amazingly huge & beautiful!! Each tour was informational and enjoyable. Elizabeth our tour guide was the best!! My memorable experiences were Bourbon Sreet, the Graceland Tour and seeing all Elvis' cars and "toys", Studio B and the Grand Ole Oprey and the Ryman Theater were also great experiences.

NOLA jazz, Memphis Elvis immersion, Nashville country music - who could ask for more?!? I particularly enjoyed our bus tour thru Memphis narrated by local guide, Cecil, with his guitar. Not only did we pass famed Beale Street but we also passed the federal building where a scene in "Silence of the Lambs" was filmed, Danny Thomas's St. Jude Hospital where pediatric cancer miracles occur, & the Lorraine Hotel where MLK was shot. On top of this, Cecil told us everything about Elvis from the time he arrived in Memphis @ age 13 til he left Sun Records for RCA in his mid- twenties. Plus Cecil strummed his guitar and sang songs pertinent to everything we were seeing. It was truly an outstanding overview of everything Memphis.

We were very well taken care of and didn’t have to worry about anything. Elizabeth added little touches that showed she really cared about us. I’m planning to do another tour that she does in 2025 and I’m sure it will be just as great as this one.

I rated it a 5 star trip because it’s the most exciting and overwhelming experience I have. Stayed in the most beautiful hotel( the Gaylord’s ). Went to the Elvis museum in Graceland , Elvis Mansion, and stayed at the guest house at the hard rock hotel . I have enjoyed every bit of my time in New Orleans listening to Jazz music, enjoyed Going to Memphis and Nashville. However, this is only possible because we had a very good tour guide who is very organized and made it FUN for us.

This was my first experience with Collette and it was fabulous. Our guide, .Steve Mayer was so personable and prepared for this group. We saw all that was necessary and more, had great meals and made some new friends. I was very happy with your booking person and was sure at the perks of being given transportation to the airports and home. The pre travel package was clear and precise and easy to follow. The accommodations were really nice and I felt very safe during the whole trip. The only negative part of the trip was at the hotel in New Orleans. The lock on door to the room was defective making it hard to close. The safe didn’t work, it really needed a new battery. The lightbulbs in the lamps didn’t work.We were there for four nights and for two of those nights we had no hot water and on one more we had no water at all. The hotel gave us two other rooms on the same floor to take showers..one also had no water and the other had no hot water. No one else in our group had water issues. The lock was never fixed, they replaced a few bulbs. Steve tried to offer us reimbursement for a meal, but we refused because it was not his or Collette’s fault. That room should have been checked. They did offer to. move us at 11 p.m. but we had been up since 4a.m. traveling and we were already in bed. This is no way is a reflection o your company and we just chalked it up to travel mishaps. No one was hurt inconvenienced. We will definitely consider traveling with Collette on the future, as a matter of fact we are making plans to travel with a couple we met on their tour!

This was my first solo trip. Every aspect of it was so very special. I particularly liked listening to Jazz in New Orleans; visiting the interactive museums, visiting Graceland and Studio B as well as the Grand Ole Opry. I bonded with the loveliest people who shared these experiences with me. Equally important were the accommodations were excellent and food delicious and plentiful. Last but not least was Michael , our tour guide, who made sure that everyone was involved and was very responsive to questions and special needs. The Bus Driver Drew was especially supportive and helpful, particularly when I locked myself out of my room. Kudus to CSA Travel Director Gary and his lovely wife for joining us on this adventure.

It was very unorganized. Timings for our tours were wrong when we arrived at venues at which we were scheduled. Not enough time in Memphis or Nashville, especially on our own. The Sheraton in New Orleans was disappointing. Our tour manager was unorganized and late most days. Just disappointed all around.

Most arrangements were done well or as expected but some were really poorly done. The transportation to and from the airport was not handled well; first, it was not offered to me until I discovered that other on the trip were being given the service and asked about it; secondly, the limo service was given an incomplete address to our home, and thirdly I never was notified that Collette had arranged for a return limo service on our return from the trip so we had to arrange for and pay for our own trip home. The goodbye meal was really poor with very bad service. The hotels were great and most experiences on tour were very good. We had an excellent tour guide. Because we had very little time to spend in our hotel in Nashville (the hotel was very beautiful), it would have been nice to be put in a hotel in the city itself.

I'm not looking for any type of compensation but it would be nice to know that someone in the company actually reads the reviews and addresses the problems.

We thoroughly enjoyed most of our trip. There were some technical issues at the beginning when we got booted from the Sheraton, but the Omni Royal was nice. Since we came two days early to explore New Orleans, it meant that we lost a day changing hotels. As another issue, we never received a pre-tour packet from Collette. it may have been sent to the neighborhood community center where we originally got the brochure, but we had none of the basic info, vouchers, name tags et cetera the other travelers had.

Hotels were excellent as were all the meals included at various restaurants. Daily tours & activities were good & gave us a good overall flavor of each city in a short time. Tour guide Elizabeth was excellent. She allowed for flexibility during tours & made sure we were always safe. Only negative for our group of 14 were 6:30 am outbound & return flights. We had to get up at 2 am to make shuttle to airport for checkin & 3 am for return flight. Since there were no activities planned for either day, flights could have been later. Also had to pay $40 luggage fees on both flights. Collette should have paid for luggage fees. But overall it was a good trip & I'm glad I went.

Beautiful hotels, terrific tour guide, wonderful driver, fun experiences. Bethany was a terrific guide...warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She made sure all of us were where we needed to be, accommodating the few who needed extra attention. So many people, so many "personalities"...all treated with respect and understanding. Our driver, Alvin was the best! By the end of the tour we felt as if we gained a new family member! He was a wonderful driver, handling the city traffic with the same ease he drove the interstates. The background information he shared about each city was on point. Our local guides were also very good.

NOLA! Bourbon Street, the cemetery tour, a riverboat cruise, getting to hold a baby alligator! All exciting and first time experiences! Memphis' Graceland was a step back in time. Elvis' home was pretty much as I expected it to be. Hardly extravagant by today's standards, it was a place he loved and felt save. It was both a little sad, and enlightening. I felt Beale Street was a little seedy, but that's just me. The tour of Sun City Studio was so interesting. Our on-board singer as we traveled to various city sites was so good. It was great fun singing along with her. Nashville was the most fun! Every bar was a venue for country music groups. Loved the Hall of Fame and the Grand Ole' Opry. Making a recording at Studio B was great fun! The guide filled us in on all the famous people, besides Elvis, who recorded there. She reminded us to stand on the blue X where he stood, but discouraged kissing it! Bethany emailed us a link to hear ourselves singing. Such a thoughtful gesture on her part!

Great tour packed with all kinds of memorable, varied activities. The hotels we stayed at were top-of-the-line. Mostly, our tour guide, Stacey, was the best tour guide i have had on toured trips. She did her research and was extremely knowledgeable and very well organized. She went above and beyond to make sure that each one of us understood the planned events for the day and the details. She did not mind repeating herself and made us feel we were in good hands.

Elizabeth Williams was the most educated and organized tour guide for our group of 43 seniors on this 3-city tour. She made sure for us who did not arrive until quite late on 5/5 that we had the itinerary for an early morning departure. She was always available for questions and very pleasant each and every day. The tour bus driver, Kathy, was the BEST. Accommodations were excellent and the options were worth the extra money. Staying at the New Orleans Sheraton was good for walking and transportation. This was my first Collette trip and I would not hesitate to travel again.

The swamp boat ride with the alligators was exciting along with the tour of New Orleans. The meals were very good and the paddle boat ride enjoyable. Graceland should be seen by all. Nashville is a fun city, restaurants galore, and music history museums everyone should visit. I will visit Nashville again.

Sheraton Hotel in New Orleans need more efficient staff. When I arrived, tired from long journey, it took Staff nearly two hours to sort out my room. I had added three nights before the tour and had been assured that I would be given the same room throughout my stay. I was given a low floor room facing ugly buildings. I Mississippi view would have been nice. I don’t eat breakfast and was prevented from making a bacon sandwich to take out. It was difficult to obtain tea for use in the room. The shower was not suitable for an amputee, although I had explained my requirements. I had paid for a room wit a VIP ticket to the JazzFest, but no record of this was available to front of house staff. Eventually, the events manager organised a regular entry ticket. I spent many hours negotiating room for 3 extra nights, tea, shower, and JazzFest ticket, which spoiled my experience of staying at the Sheraton. I heard other tour guests complain about incompetent hotel staff. Another complaint about early breakfast was thr staff were slow allocating seating and waiting for drinks and gluten free bread/toast. The lack of any tomatoes or mushrooms. I am not a vegetarian, but omelette, fried/scrambled eggs, sausages and bacon are a bit heavy on their own before 7.30am. Perhaps tour days start to early for this hotel to cope with early breakfasts! I will not use Sheraton Hotels again. I am happy for you to pass my complaints onto Sheraton.

jazz festival was non existant for us. bus dropped us at race tract,(that's one mile of area) map was of little use, it was hot. 85 pl We wandered around, bought a lemonade and left. I wanted to see bonnie Ratti. People had blankets and lawn chairs they brought out in the sun. We didn't think it was worth sitting out in noon day sun for where ever our group was playing. That was for 2 of our 3 days in New Orleans, then collette had to sell us a tour for $85 each, dinner and sun city tour. Yes, very nice....thought we had already paid for the tour ??? Nothing was planned for us for those 5 hours if we chose not to go. Now we have 3 days of zero so we paid to go. They tried to charge extra for promised round trip shuttle service to airport AFTER we had paid for it. Our guide Kim was wonderful but must not have known how the jazz fest was going to be to warn us or get us where we wanted to go, our bus and driver was top of the line. Rooms were the best. I used to be in this business and I know their are lots of things that can make a problem but for the $$$ charged it was bad news.

sun studio tour (should have been inc.) enjoyed it a lot. breakfast buffet's were very good. Bell Meade Plantation and lunch was very nice. Elvis tour of mansion and history was good. Historian on the cemetery and old sections of New orleans was excellent. Dinner walk to cooking class was interesting and good food.. Swamp tour was interesting , Opry Land hotel is totally amazing , I took a tour there before it was flooded out a zillion yrs ago and couldn't believe 20 acres under glass. For the price we could have taken much better tours with other co. and even yours. Still waiting for pictures taken and supposed to be emailed to us. WE WERE NOT THE ONLY ONE'S WHO WALKED OUT ON THE JAZZ FESTIVAL IN new orleans we know of at least 2 more couples that left the almost 90' noon day heat that didn't want to wander to find where they wanted to go and IF it had a tent and fans. what a fiasco of being ill planned and no one there to direct us.

Could not arrange our pre -hotel stay, I had to do it myself in the same hotel. Would not arrange the hotel pick up form the airport because we arrived a day early, even though the hotel had a regular shuttle service, I arranged this myself at the hotel's desk on arrrival at the airport. Could not confirm the hotel room would remain without change for both the pre-stay and post-stay arrangements, I had to arrange this myself (with the assistance of the tour guide post-stay)

I loved the Music Cities Tour I just completed. We went to so many great places and saw wonderful events and shows. Our Tour Guide Wesley Glass was the Best! He was very organized, very positive and happy, and could make adjustments easily if needed in the tour or if someone in our group that needed extra help with something, like lost shuttle bus passes, or the hotel not collecting our luggage until the last moment before we leave to the airport in Nashville. He was very well informed of the local history and gave us some interesting facts of each area or city we attended, and that made the trip more personal for each of us. I would be happy to have him again as our tour guide. Thank You! Jana Hunking - Lompoc, Ca P.S. I tried to add photos here, but it would not take them!

I really was surprised and happy to go to the RCA Studio B in Nashville and learn the history of the famous recording studio. Then they let us record our group singing an Elvis tune, and just 10 minutes later they handed each of us the CD of our recording that they had just produced. How cool was that ?? We were all thrilled, and later referred to ourselves as "recorded artists!"

Great service as everything was taken care of. Well organized was our four Collette trip. We plan one to two trips with Collette a year. One thing I was unhappy with was the Swamp tour. It was raining, windy and the seats on the boat were wet. One squeegee on the boat and there were 44 of us. So needless to say we had to wait our turn. There should have been towels for us to wipe the seat down when they knew they were wet. In my opinion, the tour should have been canceled and substituted for another attraction. Everyone was wet and freezing. My shoes and paints were soaked. Did not enjoy swamp tour at all and did not see one alligator!!!!!!

We recorded “jingle bells” in the RCA studio B and listened to our recording on the bus riding down the road. Country Music Hall of Fame was fun, a lot memorabilia. Tours of the 3 cities was interesting. Tour manager Sam was great as well as our driver Angela. Everything was well planned and we got to see many things and experience many things.

My major concern, and the reason I did not give them 5 stars is that when we landed in New Orleans, the transfer service from the airport to the Sheraton New Orleans hotel was not up to the normal Collette standards. It took 90 minutes for us to make what was supposed to be a 30 minute trip. I was very disappointed. With the cost of the tour I would have thought they would supply a more professional transfers service. You could have probably given me a vouchers for a cab service. Would have probably only cost about $30. Poor decision on Collette for keeping a frequent customer happy. I would like to get a response from Collette about this.

It was a great tour with wonderful sights. The swamp tour was fun, especially when we could hold the small alligator and watch them feed the larger alligators marshmallows on a stick. I liked that we could take the shuttle to the jazz festival on our own schedule from the hotel. If you wanted to spend more or less time at the festival it was very convenient. We spent a lot of time at the festival but others on the tour did not. It worked well for everyone and no one was disappointed or frustrated that they couldn't do what they wanted. The only bad part in New Orleans was the walking tour of the French Quarter. The guide was very unpleasant. She thought she knew everything and argued with my husband over a statue that he had questioned her about. She really didn't know the answer but turned out what she had said was incorrect. She also put down the other lady on the tour for not listening when she didn't understand American History because she was from Australia. The bus tour sounded better and I wish we had taken it. We were given coupons for beignets and a drink at Café du Monde that I thought we were going to use while on the walking tour but it turned out we didn't have time and had to use them another time. The tour was so packed that it was hard to find time. We finally used them at night after the final jazz festival day. We really enjoyed the New Orleans Cooking School and came home with a few great recipes. The stop at the Picadilly Cafeteria in Jackson, MS brought back memories from when I was a kid visiting my grandparents in Florida and we would eat their often. The Guest House at Graceland was a very nice hotel. We could have used another day at Graceland with all the new exhibits. We only had time to do the Mansion but I would have loved to see more. I guess we could have spent more time there but we opted for the optional tour that was also very good. The tour guide at Sun Studios was excellent and he and another guide even performed for us. The dinner at the hotel was OK but really enjoyed the dinner on the optional tour. The stop at the Belle Meade Plantation was very nice and the lunch they prepared for us was excellent. It really made us feel special the way they treated us. Loved the Opryland Hotel. It was beautiful and I was so glad I took a late flight home on the last day so we could spend the day exploring the hotel. I'm not a big fan of country music but enjoyed the RCA Studio B tour where we recorded a CD. We enjoyed the dinner at the Opryland Grill and the musical entertainers and waiters. We had great seats at the Ryman Auditorium for the country classics show but it was disappointing that we never got to see the new Oprlyand Theater that I had asked about before booking the tour and was told we would see it. The tour was jam packed with music and the tour guide suggested locations to hear even more music when we had free time. Our guide enjoyed all types of music and even played "Happy Birthday" on her traveling violin for my husband's birthday on the bus. The coach driver was very nice and competent.

Yes, I would buy them again. But the groups are getting too big. They seem to incorporate other traveling groups and they do not mingle. They stick by them selves for the most part. One thing we did not like, the group leader would change how things are planned, making some days overly filled with activities to do and then some days with very little.

If you love music, this is highly recommended. but there is too much time in New Orleans and perhaps you should add another day in Memphis and another day in Nashville. Many museums and places to see in those two cities. Noot so much in New Orleans.

Out travel arrangements were not very good. We were to have a 7 hour stop over at Newark airport, this turned into a 10 hour stop over. The airline had put on another plane to take those of us who were waiting to New Orleans, by the time we arrived at our hotel my husband and I had been travelling for 26 1/2 hours. We were absolutely exhausted. Then we had a few hours sleep before we had to go for breakfast before the tour managers meeting. At the end of the meeting she made no attempt to try and find who we were and ask if we were alright. My husband and I went and introduced ourselves and explained how awful our journey had been, it was obvious that she had no interest in what had happened. Also when we arrived at New Orleans airport, we were waiting at the carousel for our luggage,which did not arrive. I was about to go and look for someone to say that our luggage had not arrived. However, as I turned round to check that there was no one about I noticed some luggage that had been put to one side. This indicates that our luggage was put on a different flight. There was no one around that we could speak to about it. We were so tired and angry we just wanted to get to the hotel for some rest. Although my husband and I enjoyed the tour we felt it could have been better if had been a few days longer. An extra day in Memphis and Nashville. I know that involves costs but would have been worth it. The downside for us was the tour manager, she was too full of her own importance and she had her favourites. On our first night in New Orleans when we went to dinner, my husband and I were on our own she made no attempt to find us seats with others in the group. Quite a few of the other tour members came up and said that they were sorry that they didn't realise that we were sitting on our own some said that there had been room at their tables. Samantha made no attempt to look. Samantha also did not do her homework regarding public transport in Memphis and Nashville. My husband and I were walking around the hotel in Nashville just to get our bearings and I found a leaflet at the registration in the Cascades lobby. It is a Resort Guide covering the dates from March 16 - 23. It gives information about the shuttle services to the shopping mall to and from downtown and the airport. Surely we should have been given one of those on arrival. I know these comments are very negative but this was due to Samantha. My husband and I were not the only ones not happy with her there were a quite a few others. I have to say that Alvin the driver was absolutely wonderful. I have arthritis in my knees and good and he could not have been more helpful at getting me on and off the bus. He is definitely an asset to the company.

The itinerary was excellent. We were busy with interesting and exciting excursions and activities much of the time, yet we also had a bit of down time to digest the experiences. Our tour manager, Molly Cashen, was absolutely the best. She was a friendly, knowledgeable, considerate, and energetic leader of our group of 40 wonderful folks. My wife and I wouldn't hesitate to take other Collette tours in the future.

Overall the experience was positive, but it was a rocky start. When we arrived at the hotel, there was no information regarding a Collette tour. There was no meet and greet on Sat. My companion called Providence to see what was going on. There should have been some info upon arrival. It is my first tour that there was not some kind of greeting on the day of arrival..

A lot was covered in 8 days. I think it would have been better to do 10days or skip New Orleans. It was an 8 hour ride from N.O. to Memphis. I do enjoy the trip and Molly worked hard to provide information.

It achieved everything it set out to do. The locations and visits were excellent with the exception of Graceland where there were enormous queues, little ongoing status information and nothing to keep us entertained while waiting for the shuttle bus. Not Collette's fault but some participants may have preferred to see more music in Memphis instead.The tour was full of interest, great hotels and a great deal achieved in a week. Favourite memorable experience was Nashville, where the group recorded an Elvis song, and the honkytonk venues. I would love to return there one day

Our guide Molly was terrific! Very helpful and always available. Activities in Memphis and Nashville were well paced and there was plenty to see and do. New Orleans could have used more activities. A little more time in Nashville would have been nice. Not enough time to do Music Hall of fame and explore the hunky Toni's downtown
-
Trip Rating:
The chosen activities were all excellent! We did all of the important things; more optional activites in New Orleans would have been beneficial. Also, a welcoming drink, dinner or meeting would have been helpful. It would have also helped to orient people. We didn't get together until it was time for a tour.

Unfortunately not a good review so very disappointed

Trip Rating:
Been on many collette tours and this was the worst. Enjoyed most other tours but this one was boring and no thought put into tours. Did you consider the age of people who usually take these tours. I could not believe an all day bus ride it was absolutely ridiculous and if I wanted to go to wal-mart I could have stayed home. New Orleans was horrible we had so much free time it was a waste of money and would not recommend this tour - Memphis wasn't much better however enjoyed Nashville although insulted with the seats you provided us for grand ole opry felt greatly insulted . This was not a cheap tour and was so very disappointed. We have done the California coast tour, the Grand Canyon tour, the southern charm tour and those are just a few and they were AWESOME but would not recommend this tour at all. Both Sheraton hotels were aweful I can't believe I am saying this about a COLLETTE TOUR. The food provided was alright not great. I was so very disappointed. I did hear that you changed some of the tour by eliminating some things so disappointed. I still can't believe we were on a bus for 7 hours going from one city to another (paid 3000.00) to sit on a bus for 7 hours and this was not explained in your brochure

The music cities tour was so successful mainly due to the excellent guide, (personal details removed by Feefo) who clearly has a passion for music. Before we arrived at every destination (personal details removed by Feefo) gave us a very comprehensive history of th music. The venues we visited were so interesting. The hotels were very good with a high standard of catering. Dinners at local restaurants were excellent. The journeys by coach were very comfortable and very well driven. The Collette booklet 'Holiday Documents' was excellent - concise and informative.

The amount of walking in New Orleans was underrated in your catalogue. I would not have chosen this tour if it was rated a 3 instead of a 2. This was not a really knowledgeable tour guide. She seemed to know most of the nightclubs and very little about music in these towns in comparison. It was called a music tour. In here defense she was always on time, seemed genuinely helpful and caring. I am sure she will become a better guide with more experience.

The tour on a whole was very good. Our director was spectacular - patient and very personable and willing to help in every way possible. The bus was new and was very comfortable and our driver was perfection - safe, kind and caring. the hotels were very nice and very comfortable and the breakfast in the morning was plentiful and made to order if you wished. The places we visited were great but the steamboat ride was a little disappointing because the Mississippi River side is so industrial and not very attractive to see. I would have preferred to stay only two days in New Orleans and three days in Nashville since there is so much more to see and that is of interest. The only two restaurants that were not good was the New Orleans Cookery and the Central Barbecue place near Dr. King's assassination. All of the other places were delicious. I would recommend this Music City Tour to friends. Loved RCA studio, Elvis Mansion and the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Museum. Also enjoyed BB King's club for blues & dancing. The gentlemen that taught us New Orleans cooking talked too much and we didn't get to eat until 9 PM. We were all hungry.

It had everything I wanted to see. too much walking for my husband I think should have been a 3. I don't think you should have to choose a walking tour or a bus tour at time of signing up. Best to have the tour manager tell you what is involved. I called and spoke to agents but they weren't positive about either. All but 2 took the bus tour and you saw much more than you would when you walk. We would not have seen Esplanade Ave, the cemeteries and more if we walked. I believe the walk was just the French Quarter and a little more. Loved the bus tour!

Trip Rating:
I have taken 5 tours in the last few years and this one was just okay. It is billed as a music tour but there was no music in NO unless you bought the extra jazz afternoon or searched it out yourself. The dinner on Sept. 13th should have been someplace with live music and better food. Hotels were lovely but the one ulin Memphis needs to be closer to the action. The Opry Hotel was beautiful but far away from the downtown area. The cooking school dinner was excellent as well as the Grand Old Opry.. More time was needed for the Country Music Hall of Fame. Tour of RCA Studio B was excellent. The included dinners were just okay. I am not sure that they were worth the extra cost of a Collette Tour. Usually we would have a really fancy meal in our last hotel. Not another BBQ. The last dinner was okay but we were rushed through and didn't have enough time to really enjoy the music. We could have stayed but would be responsible for our own way back to the Hotel. This wouldn't be a problem if we were more centrally located. I was very surprised that there was not a meet and greet the night before in a room in the hotel. It would have made for a less chaotic Monday morning especially since there was the option of two different activities. Also having to pay for a bottle of water was not acceptable. Free cold water should have been offered at each stop. I have traveled with full coaches and keeping water in a cooler in the baggage compartment has never been an issue. Our tour guide was most helpful and always courteous.

A complete and utter shambles. Completely dis-organised.

None of the inclusive meals were to a good standard. My high light of the vacation was to be Gracelands ( one hour to tour Gracelands not enough time ) the Collette rep Clinton Scott was not to a good standard and he ruined my vacation. So therefore to sum up my vacation disappointing and a waste of money.

I loved the majority of this trip...I had already been to New Orleans and would have preferred the bus tour to the walking tour in the French This was a great tour for me, since I love music...given the mobility and age of the group, it would have been better to do a morning sight-seeing tour of New Orleans by bus as opposed to the walking tour of the French Quarter,,which really could be done on your own since our hotel was basically in the French Quarter, I personally would have preferred this because I wanted to get a feel of other parts of the city ie the Garden District, Treme etc. Other than that it was a great tour for me... I cant say the same for others as they only seemed to be interested in Graceland ,, Also, some of the restaurants were better than others, especially in New Orleans... I would have preferred a different restaurant in Memphis...All in all, it was a comprehensive tour with a wonderful and accommodating tour guide...Derek was just the best....

Good trip but organization and literature could of been more accurate.

Trip Rating:
Our latest trip on the Music tour of NOLA, Memphis and Nashville was good but not well organized. The intro package said one thing, the notice we got at the hotel said another and we were on our own too much. At first we thought we were at the wrong hotel since the literature said to meet at a different place, a second Sheraton. You should drop the Sheraton on Canal in New Orleans due to poor service. Two of our 4 day stay did not even make up the room until after 6pm. Had a good time though.

Derek Moscarelli our tour manager should come to England to teach other tour managers 'how to' everything, he was brilliant.The itinerary is well thought out and hotels exceptional especially Gaylord Grand Opry. Well worth upgrading your room here for spectacular views of lush gardens with waterfalls, bridges and walkways under atrium roof. Jazz cruise on Natchez Steamboat was super relaxing with live Jazz band music wafting out to the decks. Cookery demonstration enjoyable and informative. Every city has must-sees not least of all Memphis's Graceland. An A1 touring holiday.
