4.00The city tour was outstanding!! Michelle, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun. She will definitely keep your attention. I didn't enjoy the boat tour. The guy was like a robot. The music wasn't good. The best thing was the drinks.

5.00Sam, our tour bus driver was AWESOME!! Very knowledgeable, really personable, great driver!! Took us all over and we learned a LOT. Made great recommendations for places to eat. Highly recommended. The land por was awesome. The river boat was really cool. We thought there would be a little more to it. But at least we can say we went on a paddle wheel boat. We will come to Memphis again!!

5.00They picked us up at Bass Pro Pyramid did a 5 hr city tour our driver was very informative. We chose boat tour as we were at Graceland last yr a choice of Graceland or riverboat tour which was 2 hrs a very full day from 9am to 4 pm on boat. Tour he dropped us off on Beale St for 1 1/2 ,br tto eat lunch and shop then on to boat took rest to Graceland. A big plus they let us off for half hr to see Peabody ducks. A must do experiment. We have been to Memphis many times and never seen what we seen on tour
