Memphis discovery

A good mix of basic Memphis history with the added experience of Dr Martin Luther King and the progression of civil rights. Add the riverboat trip and the BBQ sampling, it worked out to be great way to spend the day.

Sandra was very thorough....

Sandra was very thorough. She seemed to know so much about every detail of the tour. She was also quite charming

A Taste of Memphis

We were with Kate and Princess for the tour. We had a nice historical overview of the downtown area. I would have liked to have passed Sun City and walked Beale with the tour guide providing some info; that was really the only thing that I felt was omitted. Central BBQ was delicious. We enjoyed the museum and the riverboat tour as well.
