A Great Way To See Memphis
We were on Mary and Michael’s tour today. They were both very friendly and informative and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour, seeing the sights and learning about the history of Memphis. The BBQ lunch was very yummy, there was lots to see in the Rock’n’Soul museum and the Paddleboat tour was a nice way to end the day. We’d recommend the tour to any one considering doing one.

She was very knowledgeable and fun loving
Great full-day experience
We started the tour on a bus with John as the tour guide and Princess as our driver. We toured the mansions on Adams st, the Clayborne Temple, and the Lorraine Motel. John was fantastic - so much detail and information and emotion! We also enjoyed a lovely pulled pork BBQ sandwich for lunch. Then we got dropped off at the Rock 'N Soul Museum, which we toured for about 1.5 hrs. Very interesting and well done. Finally we got on the Riverboat and toured up and down the Mississippi. Also an informative and interesting tour.
