This was our first visit to Memphis, and we swere charmed. The tour was the No. 1 factor in giving us needed historical and social perspective. Our guide, Nancy Apple, also provided a flavor of the city and put some flesh on not only a famous Southern city but its reputation as one of the country's music capitols. The venue was ideal for my wife, who is disabled and cannot realistically participate in tours that require a lot of walking or on-an-off of a bus. In any city of size, it can be overwhelming and frustrating for a newcomer to ask the simple question, So, what would you like to see? We have some good answers for a likely return trip.

Fun time with lots of good information. I'm a baby boomer who knew a lot of the history of Memphis and the music industry there so I loved the details and background information given. My grandkids, 10 and 14, loved the singing, shaking and entertaining delivery. My 8 year old wasn't so entertained.
