Leisurely boat ride down the Cumberland River
Very nice experience. Plenty of seating both inside and outside on three decks. Food and drinks were available for purchase. It was a nice scenic, leisurely trip along the Cumberland River. The captain narrated the site as well. When the captain was not narrating there was a solo singer providing music that you were able to hear throughout the boat. She was setup on the top desk.

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.

Great anniversary celebration.
This was an anniversary cruise for us. The staff was great; the food was wonderful; the cruise itself was terrific. I thought the food had come from Ruth's Chris or something but it was all made in-house. It was just that good. I wish it had been longer; it felt like we had just gotten started when it ended, but it was getting dark. This will be a tradition for us now.

Make sure you read the email and follow directions. Make sure to call Cool Destinations and verify your pick up time for the tour. Our driver Michelle was very informative and funny. She also is very nice and very passionate with her stories and the history. You feel that you were back in the moment. We stayed at The Guesthouse at Graceland.
