Fantastic Food Tour with Peggy - We had a great time on our food tour! Our guide, Peggy, was very knowledgeable and great fun! The food was excellent—burgers at Dyers was our favorite, followed by the ribs at the Blues Cafe and the chicken wings. The gumbo at Rum Boogie Cafe was our least favorite but that’s not to say it wasn’t good. Last but not least was the fudge, which was wonderful! It was a great tour and we loved Peggy. Highly recommend this tour.

Memphis Food Tour - First time to Memphis. Didn't enjoy the rain the entire time there, but the tour it was great. The tour guide she was very informative and all the locals seem to respect her and the work that she does. Also, appreciate that she let me use her umbrella.
