Overview

Welcome to Memphis, Tennessee, a city rich in history, music, and Southern charm. This guided sightseeing tour will take you on a journey through the vibrant streets of Memphis, where you'll explore iconic landmarks and delve into the city's musical heritage. Sit back, relax, and let's begin our adventure through Memphis!

Our first stop is Mud Island, a beautiful area that offers stunning views of the mighty river. You might even catch a glimpse of a riverboat passing by, reminiscent of the golden age of steamboats. After touring Mud Island, you'll pass Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital before making your way to the World Famous Beale Street, where you'll have time to soak up the atmosphere and take some photos!

Other highlights include the National Civil Rights Museum (where Martin Luther King Jr's legacy is chronicled and preserved), Sun Studio (where Elvis Presley recorded his first record), and the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum.
