Sam was an amazing guide through the city, We loved him!!!! The guide on the boat was fun too, The best way to see Memphis.

Bryan_S

Sam was a great tour guide. He kept it interactive and informative. Plenty of time at the designated stops and great lunch recommendations. While this has nothing to do with this tour company, as others have mentioned, there is a steep ascent and descent for the riverboat cruise that will be a challenge for those with mobility issues. That is a City of Memphis issue, and not this tour company’s issue. Great tour overall, highly recommend!!!
