Memphis City Tour - 3 Hours
Memphis the Gateway to the Old South is one of the most beautiful cities in the Southern United States. Filled with Southern charm, beautifully restored mansions, sculptured tree-lined parkways, on a setting high on the Fourth Chickasaw Bluff, this river city boasts of glowing sunsets over the Mississippi, the world's finest BBQ restaurants, and the "Red, Hot and Blue" sounds of the Beale St. Historic Entertainment District. Come with us on this inclusive tour to explore the city that is called, "The City of Good Abode." This tour will take you to the Mississippi Riverfront and through downtown Memphis where tradition and modern progress collide to form an exciting modern city filled with historic sites, fun and adventure.
Sites include, the Mighty Mississippi River Front, Harbor Town on the Mississippi, Mud Island, the Pyramid, Historic Cotton Row, Beale Street and South Main Historic District, the National Civil Rights Museum / Lorraine Motel, Sun Studio, and Victorian Village.
