Sun Studios, owned and operated by Sam Philips in the ‘50s and ‘60s, was the place where Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis all recorded their first songs, while across town the Stax Soul Museum was the studio where the likes of Sam and Dave and Booker T. and the MGs created the classic soul sounds of the ‘60s and ‘70s; both, along with the Gibson Guitar Experience (located at the FED-EX Forum), are not to be missed by anyone who has ever heard music!
Sun Studio’s in located in downtown Memphis and a visit to this historical and very cool attraction is a must for anyone visiting the city.

Itter was one of the nicest town's I've ever been in, absolutely gorgeous. It's a sleepy town, but on Contiki you bring your own nightlife. This was one stop I wont forget.
My tour guide Drew taught me to tip well at places like Moose & McGillicuddy's. The staff will be more attentive to your needs and pour you bigger drinks!!
A great way to spend the afternoon in Paris? Grab some cheese, a baguette and some wine from the shops on the Champs Elysees and head down for a picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower!
