Awesome tour! - Our tour guide as knowledgeable and friendly. The tour gave a broad view of Memphis with time to explore a little with enough information that if you wanted to go back on your own you could. I would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent trio - Larry our tour guide was exceptional, informative & welcoming! All stops were perfect timing, museum visit & riverboat cruise also fantastic! Well worth the payment especially as we had 1 day to cover everything.

Nice way to spend a day - Bus Tour was great. Larry was an excellent guide. Snack was adequate and not required. Time would have been better spent in the Rock n Soul Museum. An hour wasn't enough to go around this great museum. They do however allow you to come back and finish the tour next day which we appreciated. You don't go into the National Civil Rights Museum but go, it's amazing. Riverboat Tour was a bit disappointing. Not a paddle steamer, didn't go far down the Mississippi and very slow. Guide was great and very informative. Overall I would recommend this if you are limited for time. You travel round all the main sites.
