Fun experience. Wish the tour guide had a microphone for the walking portions as well. The drinks were good and the bus was nice and cold foe the hot day. The stories were very interesting.

Interesting information about the crimes that occurred in Memphis. Some walking involved but not excessive.

Memphis’s guided tour, come for the history, stay for the fun!

Christipher_B, Oct 2025

I loved exploring Memphis learning the not so good history. My wife is a Crime Junkie listener and I thought while in town we should take the tour. Tanya Nicole our tour guide had a wealth of knowledge about the city and its previous inhabitants.

Our tour guide Mary was phenomenal, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, entertaining and much more. Calvin did a great job driving us safely and we appreciate his skills! They were also very accommodating due to the heat. We would highly recommend this adventure to others!

Heard it before

Colette_K, Jun 2025

It’s not just a bus ride there is walking involved. And when it is hot it is exhausting. The stop for a cocktail was good. Wish I had stayed at that hotel.

serena_w, Apr 2025

Sheena was literally such an amazing tour guide and Mike i think his name is was such a good bus driver. Sheena was so informative when telling us about all of the Memphis true crime history. And the free drink was a plus!!

Very fun tour! Highly recommend!

Elizabeth_G, Apr 2025

This is a fun tour. Our guide Mary was fantastic and super knowledgeable. She had great historical facts and was very engaging. The tour starts at Alfred’s where you get on a bus to go around downtown Memphis. Our driver Aubrey had to navigate heavy traffic that day but did a great job getting us around town safely. This is an informative and interesting tour for anyone looking to do something a little outside the box in Memphis.

Taylor Nicole and Princess were amazing!! Honestly Taylor needs her own podcast. She’s informational, funny and detail oriented about all the stories. I went with my fiance and as a first timer in Memphis , we recommend this trip to anyone going to Memphis. The ride was comfortable going thru the city and Taylor pointed out historical landmarks along the way such as Martin Luther king famous Lorraine hotel etc.

Insightful Tour of the More Morbid Aspects of Memphis History

Kaitlin_R, May 2024

Our tour guide Kate was very knowledgeable and personable about the experiences she described. The experiences are treated with a blend of respect and when appropriate, a bit of humor. Would definitely go on the tour again and would recommend it for all True Crime afficionados

Where's the money?

Katrina_K, Apr 2024

Shannon our guide and Mr. Mike our driver were fantastic! Comfy and cool ride. Amazing stories of true crimes that have happened here in Memphis. Some crimes still unsolved and there's a lot of missing money amongst other things.
