  This tour is unbeatable as far as variety goes. Every day a new surprize, from history to music to civil rights to slavery. We had absolute fun dancing in Nashville, swinging to the blues in Memphis listening to jazz in New Orleans. The visit to the Lorainne hotel (civil rights museum) filled one with sadness at what could have been. Ann Harness is a brilliant travel concierge. The 2 buffet lunches were disappointing and Monmouth hotel does not belong on the itinerary. Bad rooms and bad breakfast. All the early starts a bit tiring, but then, the tour covers more than 3000 km in 14 days!

  The Luxury Gold Sumptuous Soul of America was without any hesitation the holiday of my lifetime. It was such a unique way to travel down the spine of mainline USA and to see how the country changes and evolves with different cultures, iconic history, defining music and incredible flavours. If you want experiences which will always stay with you, this is the itinerary for you. From the moment we arrived it was first class, our travelling concierge Ann Harness was a smart, efficient and a very likable guide. She conducted the itinerary in such an effortless way, we arrived at the finest luxury hotels as we were royalty, bags whisked to our rooms and check in already complete and we always had ample free time to explore at our own leisure. Please see below some of my highlights Accommodation:- All five star plus properties. Personally favourite The Brown Hotel in Louisville which is pure class but no snobbery, the staff were excellent. Also Monmouth Plantation in Natchez, WOW like stepping back to an era of gone with the wind! Just incredible! Experiences:- VIP Access to Graceland, after hours when it closed to the general public. This was a real privilege, even if you are not an Elvis fan you cant help but be swept up in this! Museum of Civil Rights in Memphis:- Here we had the choice of included experiences, this was not to be missed, the Lorraine Motel where MLK was assassinated, you can feel the history here and the way the story is told is just right. Nashville:- Studio B - We got to record our own song in the same studio as so many of my heroes! Food:- Wow the restaurant in New Orleans, Arnaulds I believe was true French Creole Cuisine plus a private Jazz band and the dinner at Monmouth Plantation in the grand dining room was divine. Transportation:- Our group size was perfect, it wasn't too small that we were with the same group all the time but it wasn't a large group. I believe we have about 20 on our itinerary. The coach was immaculate and driver was so polite, the coach was so different to any other touring company I have travelled with before, it had so much legroom, like travelling in a limousine, plus WIFI was included. What more can I say other than if you want a trip of lifetime, if you love people, food, music, history, great company then there is no itinerary like it, plus Luxury Gold was worth every single penny. 10/10! Thank you Luxury Gold!
