Is this trip right for you?
verified
The South gets mighty steamy in the summertime. Pack appropriately, drink plenty of water and you might even grow to love it. September through to November is hurricane season, so if you’re travelling over this period you should pack a rain jacket and waterproof shoes.
verified
You're in the Deep South of the USA, so expect a lot of (delicious) fried food and barbecue. Vegetarians may have fewer options, as a lot of southern cuisine is meat-based.

We went on the music tour Deep South in October 2024 with Justin as our tour guide. We were a little worried about being on an organised tour but the mix of guided time and free time was perfect. Justin was full of information and helped make sure that we experienced everything that we wanted to and more! His knowledge, easy manner and helpfulness made our holiday excellent.
