4.00Michelle was a wonderful tour guide. She cared about all of the tourists that were in her group. She was funny and knowledgeable. The boat ride was OK. It didn’t go very far, but the scenery was nice and the commentary was informative and interesting.

5.00Thankyou for an amazing day. I travelled from the UK with my mother for her 80th birthday, she's always wanted to come to Memphis. The guided tour and Graceland experience was absolutely fantastic, the tour around Memphis was very informative and enjoyable the guide was brilliant. After the city tour we then went to Graceland, the guide told us the pickup time and took us to the reception for our tickets and showed us where the restaurants were we then started the tour around Graceland, I will never forget this amazing time I've had. I highly recommend this trip the memories will last forever, thankyou so much , Phil Warren.

4.00Sam was a terrific tour guy! He recommended a great place for lunch for me and my friend- Gussie's. He was very informational and was always on time for pickups. However, the ferry cruise was just ok. It was a beautiful day for being on the water so that helped. I can't believe that slanted hill to work up & down to get the ferry. That is very dangerous. That needs to be redone. The ship guide was ok but after a while was boring. I couldn't believe the guy was standing there with a tip jar when you walked off the boat. Very rude. Sam the bus driver was worth a tip he was excellent!
Guided tour was great. ...

4.00Guided tour was great. Sam was a wonderful guide. The riverboat cruise was not what we expected. I thought we'd be on boat longer and go further down river. Walking down to boat was very treacherous with the incline and no rails. Sam actually came down to top of incline to make sure I got to bus safely.
Found on Beale Street
