I will preface my comments by saying that everyone we met who was either associated with the tour(s) or the TN Visitor's Center was very hospitable. My favorite part of the tour was the bus ride through downtown Memphis. I thought our driver (Darryl) was very informative and very helpful...you could tell he'd been doing this for awhile as he was able to offer helpful hints for things to see/do at the disembarking points. He was also very prompt to be where he needed to be at the time he was needed. I loved the opportunity to walk Beale Street and BB King Parkway. We had a great meal/time at BB King's Blues Club on Beale street - with live music on Monday afternoon! I was slightly less impressed with the Riverboat tour; the accommodations on the boat are only "so-so". However, we all did enjoy that experience as well.
