Great fun tour of old town Memphis. Larry is a wealth of information about Memphis. Lively and entertaining. Had a lunch stop at Central BBQ and had some fantastic pulled pork! Stopped by the Lorraine motel where MLK was shot. Plus many other historic spots- stopping and getting off to savor in the moment. Back on to the next stop…. A Must for a trip in Memphis. Plus you are picked up and dropped off by Beal Street with it’s grand music history.

Larry the tour guide was friendly and upbeat and knowledgeable. He showed us around the important sights but, unfortunately we were unable to go into the Civil Rights Museum ( not enough time) or the Peabody Hotel for the running of the ducks (Covid restrictions for groups)

This tour is a must when you visit Memphis. If you are looking for a thorough and informative tour with a knowledgeable and engaging host, you have got to request Larry! He us amazing. We learned so much about the city's history, especially the musical history, and even got a chance to stop at the Civil Rights Museum and Central BBQ. COVID protocols are being followed closely and our small group was lucky enough to have him to ourselves for the tour. Larry's tour is the perfect introduction to Memphis. Don't miss it.
