Excellent Walking Tour!!

Jennifer_Y, Jan 2026

My husband and I had a wonderful time walking around and listening to the tour on my phone. The directions given were wonderful. The narrator provided excellent information and we even went to Gus‘s Fried Chicken to eat because of their review and previous tour reviews that we did earlier on our vacation. I would recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting Memphis.
