Our guide Kate was fantastic as was the lady who drove the shuttle for our group. The whole process was simple, the tour was entertaining and informative. The bus was very Comfortable and AC was cranking which was great, because it was 89 and very hot when we were walking. Best part was ending trip on ferry going up and down the Missisippi River. Good value for the experience. Jim

Our tour guide Renee was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, and clearly loves her job. I was thankful for the opportunity to get off the bus and walk the grounds of the Lorraine Motel and reflect on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I enjoyed the tour of the Rock "n" Soul museum and learn the history of soul music and musicians who started their careers in Memphis. I loved the riverboat tour also.

I like getting the true history of Memphis and how the music origins played a part in desegregation of certain does and don’ts of that time.
