Itinerary

Day 1 London - Nashville Fly from London Heathrow Airport on a direct, scheduled British Airways flight to Nashville. Upon arrival, we transfer to our hotel, Four Points by Sheraton Nashville-Brentwood (3T), located a 15-minute drive from downtown Nashville. Day 2 Nashville Today will include a visit to RCA Studio B, where more than 35,000 songs were produced, including 40 million-selling singles and over 200 Elvis Presley recordings. Hear original recordings done at Studio B, see the 1970s‐era analogue equipment that was used, and even get a chance to take photos at the Steinway Piano that Elvis used to play. We take a city tour of Nashville, introducing us to the sights of the ‘Country Music Capital of the World’. Highlights include the world’s only full-scale replica of the Athenian Parthenon, which stands in Centennial Park, and the 19th century Tennessee State Capitol. Also included will be a visit to the impressive Country Music Hall of Fame, packed full with little-known information and memorabilia. Day 3 Nashville - Muscle Shoals - Tupelo Our next musical destination is Muscle Shoals, the legendary ‘Hit Recording Capital of the World’, where we visit Alabama Music Hall of Fame, which holds personal memorabilia from stars including Tammy Wynette, The Commodores, Wilson Pickett, and Percy Sledge. This evening we arrive at our hotel for the night, the Hilton Garden Inn Tupelo (3T). Perhaps take a stroll and see the Tupelo Hardware Store, where Gladys Presley bought her son Elvis his first guitar. Day 4 Tupelo - Memphis Visit the Elvis Presley Birthplace Museum, based around the humble two-roomed shack where ‘The King’ spent his early years. We then make the short journey to Memphis - a city with a rich and unique musical heritage, known as the ‘Birthplace of Rock ‘n’ Roll’ and the ‘Home of the Blues’. Enjoy a Memphis orientation tour before we check in at the Doubletree by Hilton Memphis Downtown (3T). Day 5 Memphis No trip to Memphis is complete without a pilgrimage to the home of ‘The King’. The Graceland Mansion Tour includes an interactive audio and video guided tour of Elvis’ estate, complete with commentary from the people who knew him best, and original home videos. You will get to see the famous Jungle Room, his extensive collection of impressive awards, learn more about the humanitarian and local hero that he was, and pay your respects at the final resting place of Elvis and his family. After your tour you will have time to peruse the gift shops and maybe grab one of Elvis’ favourite fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches in Gladys’ Diner. Day 6 Memphis - Indianola We leave Memphis today and travel south to Clarksdale to visit the Delta Blues Museum, the centre for blues culture since the 1920s and the birthplace of many legendary musical artists including Ike Turner and Sam Cooke. We continue to Indianola, where in the early and mid-20th century, a number of Blues musicians originated, including BB King who worked in the local cotton industry before pursuing a professional musical career. We check in to the Hampton Inn Indianola (3T). Day 7 Indianola - New Orleans We arrive at New Orleans, also known as The Big Easy, the largest city in the state of Louisiana. Named after the Duke of Orleans, New Orleans is well known for its distinct French heritage and strong European culture. It is also famous for its cuisine, festivals, and music - particularly as the birthplace of jazz. Transfer to the Wyndham New Orleans French Quarter (4T) for three nights. Days 8-9 New Orleans Enjoy two full days at leisure to explore the Crescent City or join an optional guided tour to enjoy the highlights of this city. Discover where jazz was born, visit the oldest African-American neighbourhood and learn about local architecture and Voodoo history. There are many restaurants available - maybe sample some delicious Creole cuisine, like Gumbo and Jumbalaya. Day 10 New Orleans - In flight At leisure today before transferring to New Orleans for a direct, scheduled British Airways flight to London. Day 11 London Arrive at London Heathrow Airport.

Introducing Titan Travel

Titan will never compromise on quality. We continue to make every effort to ensure that, when you travel with us, you enjoy the holiday of a lifetime, every time. Every individual aspect of your holiday has been carefully considered to deliver the best ratio of quality and value, provide complete peace of mind and yet still satisfy the most adventurous travel spirit. The expert planning, choice of hotels and transportation methods, included excursions and the services of an expert Titan tour manager can really enhance your appreciation of a destination and transform an ordinary holiday into a truly inspiring one.

Many escorted holidays sold by British tour operators originate in the destination and are aimed at the international market, with multilingual commentaries, sweepingly general itineraries and local contracted hotels and tour managers. Titan holidays are different. They are expertly crafted in-house and are only on sale in the UK; our well-travelled product specialists know their destinations inside out and select the best hotels, airlines, trains and cruise vessels. Properly balanced itineraries, most unique to us, are designed to include excursions and visits of particular interest to British travelers as well as a number of free days when there is always a choice of relaxation or enjoyable things to do. And, in the majority of cases, Titan holidays are escorted by the best tour managers in the business.

Exceptional Value

Quality often comes with a price tag and, indeed, Titan has never striven to be the cheapest tour operator. What you get with us though is unparalleled value for money, with a host of inclusions as standard and a range of exclusive offers and discounts.

Traveling in style
With Titan, not only does your holiday begin and end at your front door, it also includes scheduled international flights with world-renowned airlines and the most memorable form of touring transport. Where this is a coach, we look to provide the best available, with air-conditioning, w/c and daily seat rotation in the interests of fairness. But escorted tours are not simply limited to coaches. Titan is one of the UK’s leading rail specialists and a number of our holidays incorporate journeys on iconic trains, that seem to transport you not only through some of the most dramatic and beautiful landscapes in the world, but also back in time to a nostalgic ‘golden age’ of luxurious and stylish travel.

If you are undecided between the elegance and relaxation of a cruise and the enthralling insight of an escorted tour, Titan’s Cruise & Tour® holidays could be a perfect choice. You can cruise with some of the most respected names in the industry, including Fred.Olsen and Holland America, around regions of awe-inspiring beauty and head ashore for an extra land-based touring element. Alternatively, the waterways of Europe, Egypt and China link the most spectacular cultural gems in picturesque fashion and a river cruise is an outstanding way to appreciate wonderful destinations from a different and more relaxed perspective. Our river cruise partners include Uniworld, multi award-winning operator of 5★ boutique river cruises.

Included Excursions
We don’t believe that our holidaymakers should pay extra for optional excursions to experience what are obviously the most important attractions of a country or region. You get much better value if they are included from the start. Unless otherwise stated, every visit mentioned in the tour itinerary is included in the cost of your holiday.

Quality named hotels and lodges
Hotels on Titan holidays are much more than simply a place to sleep at the end of the day. They may place you at the heart of a thrilling city or in a retreat of sublime tranquillity; reflect the character and heritage of a destination or play an integral part in its social scene; present inspiring views or a range of exhilarating experiences. Location and quality are key considerations. At Titan, we always seek to provide the best of both choosing a lower priced holiday based on lower quality, more remote hotels can often be a false economy in the time and money you end up wasting during your stay.

Low or No Single Supplements

We are always looking at ways of minimizing or eliminating our single supplements. A number of tours featured on this website have low or no single supplements to pay.

The UK's best holiday price promise

It has always been a Titan principle that the earlier you book, the lower the price you pay. Our holiday price promise provides complete peace of mind – if we subsequently reduce the price to below what you have already paid (after any discounts have been applied), we will contact you to refund the difference†!

This guarantee applies to tour prices only (excluding all Traveller, by Titan holidays and any selected loyalty rewards we may offer to past travelers from time to time) and does not include airline upgrades, holiday additions, extended stays or regional connecting flights and selected special offer products.
