Very informative, well educated and engaging guides. We enjoyed meeting other tourists and and learning about Memphis history.
The River Cruise we did was the last thing but the best thing! The commentator was very knowledgeable and gave music history of Memphis as well as Mississippi history. He played examples of the music he mentioned. Michelle was an awesome tour guide and was always on time at pick ups and it was nice to be able to meet her at the Welcome center since we were not in a hotel. Having choices of activities was a plus because we had already been to Graceland several times so we picked the cruise and Beale street to spend more time on those. MIchelle was witty and knowledgeable plus told some specific stories that emphasized some of the sites we drove by. Though not an in depth tour it gave us a good underpinning of knowledge and appreciation for the city of Memphis! Would definitely recommend it to the newbie visitor!!
Sam was our host and he was wonderful, funny, knowledgeable and kind!! He has real life experience with the famous people of Memphis which added so much to your!
