Good time
Great overview of Memphis history
Discovery Tour worth it!
Shannon was amazing!!! Very knowledgeable and made the trip fun!
Wonderful time
Excellent choice to see the city.
Kate and Mr Smith salvaged a Temu experience.
Kate, our guide and organizer, was great and the bus driver did a good job on the city tour. She provided tons of information and clearly cares about Memphis. Kate is a 10 out of 10 and the only reason there is more than 1 start in the review. The Rock and Soul "Museum" was underwhelming and we were done in 20 minutes. But we were able to go to lunch before the Riverboat since none of the BBQ places were open to provide the plate that was supposed to be included. We were refunded $8 per person promptly. Others who went on the Civil Rights Museum had good reviews. The Riverboat is not a real paddlewheel, just a decoration. It was smoking hot out, so we spent the start of it in the air conditioning where the bar and food were located which smelled heavily of diesel exhaust. Once we got going, we went to the upper deck, which was nice with the boat moving. The highlights of the trip were Mr Smith who did the narration and the lovely young lady who was taking drink and food orders. There were not a ton of sights to see on the relatively short trip, but the history of the bridges was interesting. One very important note, to access the gangway to get to the boat, it required a walk of probably 500' across the cobblestone bank and down about 50'. Not a problem for us, but those with mobility challenges or high heels, it would have been nearly impossible. The second bus was very late I picking up the other passengers that were going back to Alfred's.
Awesome time!
Steep walk to the dock with unlevel path. Very pleasant ride, didn’t really feel the boat moving. The announcer/guide did an awesome! They served drinks and snacks. And music was played.
