This is a very informative, enjoyable tour of Memphis that combines the city's history with personal stories of former residents. The driver Larry was amazing - warm and funny, very well-versed in local history. The lunch stop was a pleasant surprise and took care of our final meal before heading back home. Five stars!!

Great tour! One of the best that I have been on. Shannon was the best tour guide, she spoke very clearly, loud enough so you could always hear her, very informative and a great, fun personality. The tour went to many interesting places. The BBQ tasting was very good. I highly recommend this tour.

Larry, our guide was awesome. We didn't realize we would be stepping down at so many locations to get an up close look - that really was a fabulous surprise. BBQ was a perfect hit-the-spot; we didn't need to get lunch afterwards. Highly recommend
