Very educational, interesting, fun & exciting!!!!!
Learned alot about Memphis I did not know. Would do more events next time.
Good for the cost; exactly as details given.
Civil Rights Museum time is not long enough.
BBQ tasting provided was pulled pork on bun with chips served on outdoor patio with ceiling fans, it was hot during our visit so would have preferred to have been seated inside.
They refused your tickets. When I got there the tickets were only $15 at each place. Total $60 for two not $164.20. You suck!
A travel guide was informative and super nice. Made the whole experience worth the effort! Highly recommend this experience!
Good introductory tour, the guide, I know they like to have their names mentioned but I always forget names, she was quite informative, so I would recommend this tour
My host was very funny and knowledgeable. She kept everyone engaged and interested throughout the tour. Also our driver was nice and a safe traveler.
We did the tour for my mom’s birthday. She greatly enjoyed as did I. My daughter greatly enjoyed as well. We’re actually looking forward to doing another tour.
This was a great opportunity to see highlights and hear history of Memphis. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made our tour very successful.
The tour guide, John, was very knowledgeable and full of life! His compassion and enthusiasm about Memphis made me enjoy the tour that much more! This is a must do.
Great tour of Memphis Tenn, we enjoyed ourselves in Memphis. Our tour guide was very informative along eith a very nice driver.
You’ll be on a bus with other travelers and you’ll have lunch with them. Some of us clicked right away, others didn’t. The tour guide speaks fast, so ask for accommodations if you need them. The civil rights museum is fantastic to go and learn, but it needs more time than we had on this tour. It might be worth a whole day on your own, or returning another time. There’s so much to take in.
Had last minute cancelation. Tour guide graciously extended a refund. Will def choose them again when I return
Great overall historical perspective of Memphis. National Civil Rights Museum was astounding and very sobering. As a young child during the early 60’s, I was not aware of what all happened and did not learn this at school. Spent three hours there!! Would do again!!
An excellent tour of Memphis. We saw a lot of the city including the mansion street and Elvis’ apartment. Our guide was amazing, a life time local with a lot of local knowledge. We had a great BBQ lunch and finished at the Civil Rights Museum where we stayed for a few hours before walking back to our hotel.
I had such a informative tour , civil rights musuem awesome very emotional..
Shannon was awesome..
Our Driver Sean awesome..
Made My Birthday Trip one the best!
Great team ...
Very informative. We learned about Memphis and the history of music , sports and culture of the city.
The Civil Rights Museum/Lorraine Hotel visit exceeded my expectations. The Millionaire Row visit was unexpected. The tour guide was awesome. So was the driver.
Please read or call to make sure you are selecting the correct tour/tours. The tour guides were excellent.
Outstanding tour! Our guide was fantastic The lunch was just enough. Civil Rights Museum is something everyone should see. We got back in time to see the Peabody Ducks
Tour needed to start earlier as we were rushed going through Civil museum so we could head to riverboat only to be sitting and waiting there for a half hour before departure. Tour was informative and lunch was good.
We had an amazing time from beginning to end. The tour was very informative and fun. Driving around Memphis with this tour makes me want to come back and explore more of Memphis.
It was an awesome experience although sad. Wish that I had more time to thoroughly see everything. Highly recommend.
Great tour & value! Love that time was allotted at various locations to stop & get off bus. Also, liked that we bypassed the line at the restaurant to be seated & served immediately.
