This tour is an OUTSTANDING experience! I've been on many tours in different cities and can attest that this one competes for top spot easily. The 'Queen' was our guide and she totally made this Memphis trip a memorable one. Even though I've been to Memphis a few times, I've never had someone provide depth to the city's history and culture that is out in the open but not really seen. Queen doesn't just spit knowledge-- she keeps everyone engaged throughout the tour. She also is a master at linking the past with the present, with an added emphasis on prompting action to shape future history. You have my word--take this tour at first opportunity and you won't be disappointed. It'll also be valuable for learning good food and tourist spots for after the tour. Hint: smoked turkey ribs...
Great tour you must take!

Must do while in Memphis! My tour was with Ms. Jackie and she was amazing! From telling our history and stories, to the music played on the journey, to her personality/voice work from start to finish this was amazing. Highly recommend when visiting Memphis/even if you are a local this tour is one you can enjoy. You don’t just visit/see the touristy things but you get a true sense of the city from our perspective.
AMAZING RIDE!

This was a 5 out of 5 experience!!! I enjoyed Ms. Jackie and she was a character! She shared so many gems and I learned some stuff, being a Memphian. It is nice to go on a tour and hear OUR stories being told with pleasure and passion. I would do this tour again! I am so glad my friend chose this as her Memphis tour while visiting town!
Incredible experience!

What an incredible experience! My partner and I did this tour with Queen and she could NOT have been better! We got to hear about and see some of the hidden spots in Memphis! We had done the civil rights museum before this tour, which I do think was helpful for some of the context, but Queen made this informative, fun and special. This is a DO NOT MISS in Memphis!

It was an emotional journey learning about black history in Memphis. Visiting the Motel where Dr.Martin Luther was killed was heartbreaking.

Very knowledgeable, thorough, and engaging. I loved the tour. It was safe, comfortable, and fun. I would do it again. I wish Queen did tours for other cities around the country.
