Great introduction to Memphis

5.00Excellent overview of Memphis - it's history, politics, music and food. Our guide Daryl was professional, knowledgeable and charming. We met at the Visitors Center which was a great beginning. Drove though the different neighborhoods. Saw all the important sites and the duck walk at the impressive Peabody Hotel. I was glad I added the Mississippi River Cuise.

3.00There was too much down time. We were left on Beale St. for over an hour and 45 min. to eat lunch. Then we were picked up and carried to the Riverboat tour and and another 45 minute wait for it to start. Our driver was really good and knowledgeable and our tour bus was really clean.
Michelle was the “BOMB”

5.00This was the best guided tour I’ve ever been on!!!! Michelle was absolutely phenomenal!!!! She managed to show us ALOT of in the slotted amount of time. I would book this again and again just for her ! She invited passengers to ask questions and give feedback. She did not sound like she had anything else better to do than be with us!!! Was not a “rehearsed”speech!!! Just to sum it up. AWESOME!!!
