A "quick" knowledge-packed tour with a soulful bite and jaw-dropping gems about the history of Memphis! This one doesn't drone on and on and lose the focus of the audience. Larry knew his stuff and truly seemed to enjoy what he does! The time flew by as we hopped on and off the bus travelling back in time through Larry's storytelling of events ranging from Elvis's former home to milestones in the Civil Rights movement. We wish we could've spent a whole day with him! He was humorous, friendly, professional, cool, and well-versed about the city. The BBQ stop was the perfect addition! What a wonderful experience! We highly recommend this tour!
