Easy and Very Informative

Easy way to learn a lot about the area, Taylor was knowledgeable, Central BBQ was awesome and the Civil Rights Museum wonderful! Did not have enough time at the museum which means we just have to come back...its a really, really big time in our Nations history and I feel I was able to absorb it all. Not a complaint at all just a heads up for those expecting or needing more time.

Great experience!

John was a wonderful tour host and gave us a great overall vibe of Memphis. The included lunch stop with a yummy pulled pork sandwich came at a perfect time. We added the National Civil Rights Museum tour package that included the Lorraine Motel and Legacy Museum which was a pretty incredible look back at the Civil Rights movement. You may want to bring a jacket since the museum room temperature was really cold on the hot day we visited. We chose to not take the shuttle back to the starting point which gave us more time for the museum. I would recommend this since there is SO MUCH museum information to see and read about. This is by far the best civil rights educational tour I have ever visited. A must see!

Spectacular Tour!!!!

The whole tour was great!! The tour guide was wonderful, she was very enthusiastic and knew the history of the city very well! The national civil rights museum was great as well and the riverboat cruise was nice too. This was well worth the money and we had a free bbq lunch that was also great! I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Memphis!
