Great Experience - True Crime - Taylor Nicole and Princess we’re awesome. It was just us and the tour felt more personal and we really got the chance to absorb more. Taylor is very sharp and knows her stuff about the area. 10 out of 10 and will do it again.

Memphis’s guided tour, come for the history, stay for the fun! - I loved exploring Memphis learning the not so good history. My wife is a Crime Junkie listener and I thought while in town we should take the tour. Tanya Nicole our tour guide had a wealth of knowledge about the city and its previous inhabitants.
