Join us for an 8 day guided car caravan tour of music’s southern roots

Country, Rock ‘n Roll, the Blues, and Jazz… the American South has produced some of the world’s most iconic styles of music as well some of its most iconic hitmakers like Hank Williams, Louis Armstrong, and, of course, the King himself, Elvis.

Let’s go explore all the rich musical history of cities like Nashville, Memphis, and New Orleans!

Join us in Nashville as we journey through Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana along portions of the famed “Blues Trail” in search of the mythical songs of the South.

Like some of our other tours, this trip is done in a “car caravan” style… Guests bring whatever they’d like to drive to the starting point (car, truck, SUV, rental, etc.) and travel in a caravan of about 15 cars from destination to destination.

Two Lane America

46 reviews

OVER 1 MILLION MILES AND COUNTING! For the better part of a decade, Two Lane America has been on the road in some capacity with Route 66 always being a cornerstone of our travels. Austin Coop, founder and lead tour guide, has personally traversed the 2,400+ miles of Route 66 dozens and dozens of times. His love for the Mother Road led to lifelong friendships and partnerships with the small businesses and funky roadside attractions along the way.

Absolutely AWESOME!! The best guided road trip I’ve ever been on. Austin is extremely knowledgeable and had all the arrangements and accommodations scheduled in advance. I was planning on doing Rt 66 myself and came across his add. Glad I signed up, we stopped at places I wasn’t even considering. Big mistake on my part. This is a road trip everyone should take at least once. I would definitely use Two Lane America again.

Austin makes the trip stress free and fun !!!

By Rick T for Route 66 Guided Car Caravans on Jul 14, 2025

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire adventure. From the initial start to the end of the tour. The places we saw and experienced to the new friends we made all added to lifelong memories we made along the way. Can’t say enough about our host Austin for all the planning he put into the day to day adventures. Would highly recommend the tour venue to any one looking for adventures. THANK YOU😎

The trip was Fantastic! I was planning the trip myself until I ran across Two Lane America. Austin's knowledge of RT 66 added so much more than I could have planned myself. The accommodations were great and I look forward to booking another Caravan with Two Lane for the New England trip this fall. JT

The wife and I, two high school buddies and their wives scheduled the west to east trip starting June 7th. We met up with Austin and two other couples that also joined the trip. From our first meeting with Austin the complete trip was executed flawlessly. Water and snacks were always at hand in the back of Austin’s van. The nightly accommodations were top notch, meals presented were excellent, and with the provided radios, communication between autos was never a problem. We were always to check on each others progress. Early on the trip Austin was able to accommodate special needs such as knowing if a wheel chair might help when visiting a sight. Devising the trip over thirteen days leaves plenty of time to visit many places but not spend a bunch of time driving. I enjoyed driving the actual old Route 66 pavement and visiting the sites along the way. Very much enjoyed the trip and kudos to Austin for making for an excellent trip. Jeff Thompson
