One of Our Favorite Travel Memories Ever! - We took a Tastin' Round Town food tour in Memphis with Taylor, and it’s honestly an experience I think back on all the time, even now, a year later! My friend and I are both well-versed in food, and this tour exceeded our expectations in every way. It was just the three of us on a hot day, but we shared so much laughter, learned a ton, and ate a lot (come hungry!). The tour is long in the best possible way—you truly get your money’s worth—and the memories were truly priceless for us. Taylor is phenomenal: knowledgeable, kind, funny, and made us feel like we were exploring the city with a good friend who just happens to know all the best bites and stories in Memphis. If you’re on the fence, just book it. You will not regret it. Taylor, thank you so, so much for one of our favorite travel memories ever! We will take this tour again next time!

Taylor, Food and Fun!! - We had the best time with Taylor and the super fun group who took her food tour in June. We had incredible food and learned a lot of Memphis history along the way. The gumbo and music at the Rum Boogie Cafe was wonderful. We had a great time and I would highly recommend this tour when you are in Memphis.
