Very good introduction to the city of Memphis - The tour is well-structured, and our guide was excellent (sorry, I don't remember the name): it includes a panoramic tour of the city to see the major attractions downtown and get some basic information about the city, some of its key figures, and its history. Several stops are included: at the Victorian district, the I'm a Man monument (very moving, masterfully recounted by our guide), the Lorraine Hotel (where Martin Luther King was assassinated), and a tasting at BBQ Central. There is the option to add admission to several museums (but the entry ticket costs less than the price difference between the tour with and without admissions, as well as the river boat tour). I do recommend this tour

The BEST guided tour I have ever been on. Worth twice the amount paid! - Taylor Nicole was our tour guide for this Discovery Tour in Memphis. She was informative, knowledgeable, and passionate, while taking us back to the time and place of each stop on our tour. I could have spend the whole day driving around Memphis with her and listening to her stories. She was superb!
