What people love about Southern USA Tours for Seniors
- Tastes and Sounds of the South
We had a really good group of people, we all got along well and enjoyed each other’s company. The tour was so interesting as it was all about the history of music and the origins of country, blues, rock and soul. The tastes and sounds of the southern areas of the US states. It was fascinating and was a journey of discovery for me with Austin who is a highly experienced and knowledge tour guide. Well done Trafalgar, you have never disappointed us.
- Southern Sounds & Elvis
Texas is such an amazingly friendly destination and there were some favourite destinations along the way including San Antonio, Fort Worth where there was a Brisbane (Australia) female competing at the rodeo, at Louisiana dancing with professional dancers and New Orleans and a parade through the streets with all those musicians and dancers.
