Here you go, not quite a common holiday destination.
Somewhere in Chile, I assume. Punta Arenas?
Correct hemisphere, too far North.
The sea ice and the Chilean flag led me to Bernardo O´Higgins Station, a Chilean base on Antarctica.
Yep, that's it in all its hi-vis glory. You're up Duncan.
I used to travel here a lot for work, as it's near one of our observatories.

Mississippi river for sure. Going with Baton Rouge, La.
Correct, it’s a view from the top of the Louisiana state capitol building. @SouthBounds is up.

Head south on the "Old Man". This city had quite a history during the civil war.
Vicksburg, Mississippi

Correct! You are up @3 Dawg Night
I grew up on the other side of Mississippi from Vicksburg. It's not a huge state, and I lived there for 21 years, but I've never once been to Vicksburg. I understand it's very beautiful, with lots of Civil War history.
I don't really know if this one will be super obscure, or if someone will get it right off the bat. If you know it, you know it. If not, then we have a fun story to tell.

Enterprise Alabama Boll Weevil Monument - I know nothing about the story...
Good job, @michaeltrego!
In the 1910's, cotton was the major agricultural product of south Alabama. From 1915-1918, an invasion of boll weevils caused farmers to lose entire crops. Local farmers switched over to peanut farming, and in the process made more money than they ever made on cotton. In 1919, the Boll Weevil Monument was erected in downtown Enterprise. It is the world's only monument honoring an agricultural pest.

Interesting story! OK - here's another to guess:
Tours, France?

Nope, not in France
That's the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina.

You got it!
I was just there last summer, so I recognized it. The fact that "Biltmore" is written on the side of the bus just verified it!
Here's a beer-related one. I've never been here, but everyone should recognize the name.

Hmm I might be wrong but I think I recognise that picture, didn't we have it here a while back? I don't remember the place, just the photo... or at least I think so.
Zatec?
This was my previous submission, but I pulled it down after @Northern_Brewer rightly called me out for a less-than-fair Google search. So, this is a resubmission of one that was up for an hour or two.Zatec is the wrong continent, @beermanpete!
I think I know this one -Chico California
Here's one that might be a little tough. (Taken at 9:33AM Central Time Zone USA but the location is not in the same time Zone)
nimes, just north of montpellier 
we used to stop there when on holidays to the pyrinees.

Nîmes it is. Nice work. For extra credit, you name the fabric ‘from Nîmes’?
I was thinking linen, but google said denim.....
ok, next up, I've been here for many many courses and work outings:

Sorry for the delay, photo library was playing hard to get...
