A Great Way To Spend a Day in Memphis

Memphis Discovery Tour with Riverboat Cruise on Mississippi River
Curious792765, Sep 2026
A Great Way To Spend a Day in Memphis
The tour guide for the first part of the tour was so knowledgeable about the town, it's history and the gossip and stories from the early years. The transportation was immaclate. The Blues & soul museum was one of those places that you could spend the whole day. Very informative and thorough. The music selections were.perfect for the subject. The tour was self guided with very nice and easy equipment. The riverboat was a nice ride, but it was hard to hear the guide. But the trip was worth it.

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.

Sun Records Studio Highlight of Memphis Visit
Spent 3 days in Memphis with family over teenage granddaughter’s Spring Break. We all enjoyed the Sun Studio tour and, for me, a former DJ it was the highlight of our trip. If you are fortunate to have tour guide Hurley, you’ll be in for a real treat. This young man knows his stuff and is highly entertaining in his presentation.

A Little bit of Everything!
My husband and I wanted to get a good overview of the city. This tour was the best way to do it. Our tour guide, John, gave us such informative and interesting information that we wouldn’t have learned anywhere else. The tour included a delicious barbecue lunch at a restaurant that was only a minute from the National Civil Rights Museum. Loved that we chose this museum but could have used 3 more hours to see and read everything! The tour ended with a relaxing riverboat cruise. The captain narrated and he added a lot of humor. We thought this overall tour was so worth the money!
