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.

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.

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.
