Could you please let us know if this tour is suitable for a traveller who requires a walking stick? We want to ensure it meets their accessibility needs.

You should be prepared for easy, but sustained walking throughout the tour. This means there could be some days with lots on mostly flat surfaces. You are also more than welcome to bring a walking stick on tour.

Does this tour include luxury accommodations? What is the rating of the Sheraton New Orleans? I want the highest level of service.

The hotels we intend to use are 4-to-5-star hotels.

What is the activity level for this bus trip. I use a walker for distance walking but I can get on and off busses and manage a few stairs

Its hard to give an exact level on how much walking with be done. Each day will be filled with included activities or optional excursions. I would say this tour could be pretty manageable with a walker. Once a reservation is created we can put in a request for any specific days that you may be concerned about the exertion levels. Also, we do recommend having someone with you for assistance as no Globus representative can help assist travelers.

Could you give us an idea of the optional extra experiences that you offer during this tour

On the America's Musical Heritage Tour - could you provide more information about accommodations and transportation?

This is a fully guided tour and the transportation will be by motor coach. We finalize tour arrangements approximately 30 days prior to departure and the hotel list is confirmed at that time. The hotels listed below are those hotels we intend to use: Nashville - Gaylord Opryland Resort, Memphis - The Guest House at Graceland, Greenwood - The Alluvian Hotel, Natchez - Magnolia Bluffs Casino Hotel, Lafayette - DoubleTree by Hilton Lafayette, New Orleans - Sheraton New Orleans.

what does the boat look like and what size is it?

The boat trip on this tour when it is in Lafayette will be in the Atchafalaya Basin. The tour is not on an airboat, but the other type that holds 25-48 people. This tour will take place on day 8 on the way to New Orleans.

Do you have a stateroom or suite that accommodates 3 adults?

Typically, triple rooms are the same size as twin bedded rooms and have beds to accommodate three people. However, we cannot guarantee that there will be three separate beds. If there are only two beds, a rollaway bed may be requested but also cannot be guaranteed. In North America it is uncommon for a room to have three beds; cots/rollaway beds are not always available due to regional fire regulations. If clients do not wish to share a bed, they should book a Twin and a Single accommodation.

Patrick and Toris were exceptional leaders and very very helpful and accommodating- would have loved to have seen Layfayette thought we'd have at least seen the major things but just the inside of the hotel and the bluff because I chose to go for a walk there, if everyone had had a chance to introduce themselves that'd would have been great too so I could have known them from the start. But overall excellent service and team, thank you to Patrick and Toris.Show more
