We cross the Bluegrass state of Kentucky
with its opulent horse farms on our way
to Tennessee. This afternoon we arrive

childhood, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Great
shows and beautiful scenery abound
through-out this area, with the Smoky

allows us to learn about the city that has
attracted thousands seeking fame in the
Country Music Industry. In the afternoon we

which opened their brand new home in
2002. This beautiful building is an incredible
tribute to the history of Country Music. This

DAY 6: Memphis, Tennessee
A casual morning including breakfast,
before our departure from Nashville. We will
travel southwest past Hurricane Mills then
on to Memphis, Tennessee, a city with a
reputation for music. It was on Beale Street
that music legend W.C. Handy created
“the Blues”, an original American art form
which was a blend of mournful ballads
sung by slaves and the Dixieland jazz of
New Orleans. Upon arrival there will be a
city tour including a visit to the Peabody
Hotel to witness the famous Duck March.
Then we visit Graceland mansion, the home
of the late Elvis Presley, the “King of Rock
and Roll”. Our tour will show us several
of the rooms in Graceland mansion, the
racquetball building, the trophy room which
houses Elvis’ many awards, gold records,
jewelry and personal momentos. (B)

Our journey today takes us past Little Rock,
Arkansas enroute to Branson, America’s
hottest entertainment destination, where
we spend the next three nights. These
days will be filled with excitement as we
enjoy Branson and the Ozark Mountain
area. We have included admission to three
music shows during our stay, and have also
allowed you free time to see more of your
favourite entertainers on your own. The
three included shows in Branson will be the
Mickey Gilley Show, a terrific performer with
17 #1 Country Hits to his credit; the Doug
Gabriel Show, seven time Male Vocalist
of the Year and the Shoji Tabuchi Show,

Ozark Mountain Country “Duck Style”.
Ride the Ducks offers an entirely different
approach to sightseeing as we travel on
water and land. A farewell to Branson
