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.Show more
