Sam was an awesome tour guide. Very engaging, knowledgeable and gave us interesting information about the city.

The driver Sam, was great and very knowledgeable. It might be a good trip except there was no riverboat trip, no entrance to the St. Judes golden dome and no stops at where Martin Luther King was staying at the motel. We found Beale street to be a bit boring. So besides the Sun Studios entrance which was great and spending some time in the Peabody hotel to watch an interesting 30 second tourist attraction with the ducks, there really wasn't anything else to 'write home about'. If all the above were included in the trip it would be great.

I enjoyed the entire tour. The highlights included Peabody Ducks March, millionaire row; and the thorough history talk about St. Jude Hospital for Children where Michelle, the guide provided information I never knew. I enjoyed Beale Street and her talk about the Lorraine Hotel and I went to see the Civil Rights Museum after the tour.
