Sam was our tour guide, and what a wonderful tour guide he is! Sam knows and loves the city of Memphis. His knowledge of the city and his desire to share it with us made our tour worthwhile, he made us laugh, proud of the corporations that support St Jude's hospital, and brought the history of Memphis to life.

The city tour was great! Very informative but the bus driver should’ve had a headset cuz if he didn’t use the microphone he couldn’t be heard by the back of the bus. Enjoyed the duck walk in the Peabody. The river boat tour was not as good. Not much to see.
