    We had an amazing experience on this Memphis City African American history tour! Our guide, Queen, was incredibly nice, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the city's rich history. She was not only great at explaining the historical significance of each site but also made the tour engaging and enjoyable. Her depth of knowledge was impressive, and she answered all our questions with enthusiasm. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about Memphis' African American history in a fun and informative way!

    Queen is extremely knowledgeable. Through the art of storytelling, and presenting historical information, we all left with a better understanding of who we are, how our ancestors fought for basic rights and a better understanding of Memphis. We learned about MLK, lynchings, Ida B Wells, record companies, Memphis architecture, food, Beale Street, and the Underground railroad just to name a few topics/stops
