Great city tour - Our guide Taylor was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and articulate of the city’s history! We really learned a lot and enjoyed the experience! We also liked the Rock n Soul museum with the self guided/audio tour. Lastly, the river cruise was also informative and relaxing. The cruise guide was great! I highly recommend this tour.!

Memphis trip - The Memphis excursion is about 3 hours long and was very well done. I felt that the boat trip of about one and a half hours was just fair.
