    "Soundtrack of the South" Well, what can I say? We had a fantastic time in the USA on our tour. I spoke to Lynda on the phone, and I knew straight away this was the company to book our tour with, and I am so glad we did. Lynda was brilliant; the itinerary was well-planned, and the accommodation and restaurants that had been booked were all very nice. I highly recommend Time Travel Holidays, and we will be booking another tour in the future. Thanks again, Lynda, Donna, Richard & Suzanne. We had the best time! xx

    Charles

    Asked on June 18th, 2025

    We are looking for a tour that does Nashville and Dollywood and Smokey Mountains. I'm a bit confused about the description. Itinerary says Day 1 Memphis (why is it in Memphis) then it goes on to says Day 2 Nashville. Today we travelling to Pigeon Forge. But on Day 3 it says Nashville to PigeonForge Headline. I'm not following why it's got 2 days travelling from Nashville to Pigeon Forge.

    Tour Details
    • Travelling TimeOperatorWritten June 2025
