Our tour guide Devin was awesome! He has a lot of knowledge about the city of Memphis. I recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Its worth the money.

On this 2.5 hour African American History tour, we will be your "conductor" and take you on a journey through Memphis that will be sure to open your eyes to some of the most historical sites connected to slavery through to the Civil Rights Movement and beyond. There is so much more to Memphis than Downtown to experience, so we will also explore some of our interesting neighborhoods. This tour is for residents, families, and visitors who are looking for the activities to do that are safe, fun and insightful.
