Where's the money? - Shannon our guide and Mr. Mike our driver were fantastic! Comfy and cool ride. Amazing stories of true crimes that have happened here in Memphis. Some crimes still unsolved and there's a lot of missing money amongst other things.

You have to take this tour!! - Our guide was so exciting, engaging, and knowledgeable. We learned a lot and had a fun time. Sheena really set the stage for every story she told and gave us great visuals for what the town used.to look like. I was able to visualize everything she described. Our driver did her best to get us to the sites even though most of the streets in the city were closed to traffic for the festivals. We loved the tour. Thanks for giving us an amazing end to our first trip to Memphis, Sheena! We look forward to reading your book in the future.

10/10 Recommend for all True Crime Lovers - Shannon was phenomenal for our True Crime Tour. Her storytelling and knowledge on historic events in and around downtown Memphis was incredible. If you want a tour involving Memphis’s oldest cold case, a jailbreak, kidnappings, love gone wrong, a murderous widow of Memphis, and more, look no further!! As a Memphian and history lover, I am so happy I got the chance to uncover more about our city!
For all my Serial production fans, you gotta go!
