Day 1 – Tuesday – This is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind, U S Tours Spectacular Event offered on this date only. It begins with a simple two night package that is expandable and customizable to suit your unique interests. Please note the sequence of events is subject to change.

First, after arrival on a Tuesday evening your group will check in to one of our hotels.  We use Drury Inn, Hampton Inn (and similar) quality properties for everyone.  Actual hotel assignments will be made upon receipt of your second deposit.

This evening enjoy a plated Southern Meal, typical of Memphis & The Mississippi Delta, with a dessert and beverages included.   There is also a Cash Bar. Following dinner is our feature Event, an Elvis Holiday Tribute Show with a live band, back-up singers, full stage lighting and sound as well as one of America’s best known tribute artists. You’ll hear such great songs as “Merry Christmas Baby,” “White Christmas,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” and many other traditional Holiday Songs all performed in the inimitable Elvis-style including his title song “Blue Christmas.”

And the when those blue snowflakes start fallin’

That’s when those blue memories start callin’

You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of white

But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas 

Plus you can be sure a few of his greatest hits will be featured too. (D)

Day 2 – Wednesday – This day’s activities are to be scheduled as each group planner desires, it’s an opportunity to put your own personal touch on the trip.  The day is yours to plan touring, shopping or even a Tunica casino.

For your convenience we offer a full day, “Merry, Merry MoJo Tour” $49.00 It features the Memphis MoJo Tour with a musician tour guide showing you the sights of the city while history sings.  As you rock on down the road you will also visit Sun Studio’s, the Birthplace of Rock n’ Roll and walk the halls where Elvis, Jerry Lee, Johnny, Carl Perkins and a hundred others made music.

Also included is a visit to the Memphis Rock n’ Soul Museum, a Smithsonian Institution it features the complete history Memphis Music.

We also offer the “Ground Zero Blues Tour” also $49.00. Featuring the Mississippi Delta at Clarksdale, MS and you arrive in time for lunch at Morgan Freeman’s “Ground Zero” Blues Club.  Then you visit the Delta Blues Museum next door.  Afterwards a local guide will show various sites including “The Crossroads,” where Blue’s Guitarist Robert Johnson purportedly sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his musical talent.

And we have “Sights and Soul of the City” $45.00.  It visits places not normally featured on a Memphis Tour.  First you see the St Jude’s Pavilion an architecturally unique building containing memorabilia of late entertainer Danny Thomas, the founder of St. Judes hospital, who dreamed that “no child should die in the dawn of life.” Then you ride the elevator 28 stories to the top of the Memphis Pyramid. You will also have time to visit the Great Cypress Swamp and shop in the Bass Pro Shop.
