    "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
