Awesome - Recommend this tour to be your first! It’s a private driving tour that’s very informative. It gives you an overview of Memphis and where things are. Making it easier to figure out what you’d like to do and how close or far from where you might be staying.

I wish we could give more than 5 stars - EXCELLENT TOUR! - I wish we could give Cassandra and this tour more than five stars! With this tour, it is a private tour (in our case, it was just my husband and I) so she was able to tailer the tour to our specific interests yet making sure we saw everything Memphis has to offer. Because our scheduled changed, we were able to call Cassandra directly from the number provided on our booking confirmation and she had the availability to modify our tour time. When we met her, we immediately felt comfortable with her and her love and knowledge of Memphis shined! Some of the highlights for us was our visit to the Lorraine Motel where MLK was shot, the I am a Man Plaza which Cassandra shared the story of how this was created, a stop at the Burkle Estate where we heard about the slave haven provided at this home, the founding, development and impact of the St. Jude Research Hospital, and a stop at the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks! With just a short time to spend in Memphis, Cassandra made sure we had a good feel of everything this city has to offer. HIGHLY recommend this tour!! HIGHLY recommend Cassandra!

Excellent Tour - Cassandra was an excellent tour guide! Since it was a driving tour she made sure we saw everything as described online and provided other bits of information that weren’t readily known. Her knowledge of the city was vast!

All I Needed to know about Memphis - Great guide. She was informative and entertaining. Really got a good sense of downtown Memphis. It was nice to be on an air conditioned bus in the heat.

Individually personalized tour - Visiting the Mud Island and Charter developments. Loved these. Crossing the bridge between Tennessee and Arkansas. Unfortunately there was a rain and lightning storm so we couldn't do outside walking, but Cassandra was just so pleasant.

Cassandra was an... - Cassandra was an excellent tour guide. She showed us places I don’t think we would have seen on our own being new to the area. She was very knowledgeable about wherever we went. Being in her private car was great too. She answered any questions we asked and was very nice and comfortable to be with. We highly recommend this tour.
