Southern Charm & Smoky Mountain Splendor
From the Bayou to the Blue Ridge
Embark on a journey through the heart of the South, where every stop tells a story and every meal feels like home. From the soulful rhythm of New Orleans to the peaceful majesty of the Smoky Mountains, this tour celebrates the sights, sounds, and flavors that make the South unforgettable.
A Taste of Tradition
Start your adventure in lively New Orleans, where the scent of café au lait and beignets fills the air. Then roll onward to Atlanta, a city that blends Southern comfort with modern energy. Along the way, experience the heart of Southern cooking—from buttery biscuits and stone-ground grits to the homestyle hospitality that greets you at every table.
Mountains, Music, and Memories
In Pigeon Forge, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the beauty of the Smokies and the fun of Tennessee’s most welcoming mountain town. Enjoy unforgettable entertainment at Dolly Parton’s Stampede and Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud, then explore The Old Mill District, a place where history, shopping, and sweet treats come together beside the Little Pigeon River.
Rails, Riverboats, and Remarkable Views
Ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad through the breathtaking Nantahala Gorge, sip high tea before a countryside train ride, and stand in awe at Rock City’s panoramic “See Seven States” view. As evening falls, board the Southern Belle Riverboat for a twilight cruise, where dinner and live music set the perfect mood to end the day.
A Grand Southern Finale
Your return journey winds through the storied streets of Natchez and ends with a night of fun and relaxation at the Paragon Casino Resort. From start to finish, every mile of this tour is steeped in charm, filled with laughter, and guided by the gracious spirit of the South.
