Quick weekend to discover Memphis. Good overview - Enjoyed Arrive Hotel and the city tour was just what we needed in our 1 day in Memphis. Civil Rights Museum very interesting but exhausting

Partly Good - Loved the bus portion of the tour and the Rock n Soul museum but river cruise was very disappointing. We had to sit from 1:45 to 2:30 in the boat smelling diesel. No one told us about this part of the tour. Also didn’t see anything interesting on the river cruise.
