Unfortunately the ship we were on was docked too far from Beale street for us to go on this tour. We had looked online and our ship was supposed to be docked close by but due to the rise in the river it was docked at a different location.

Loved this geo located self paced walking tour. We were bundled up for the January weather and able to stop mid tour for a hot lunch on Beale street and then finish the tour while getting ready to walk to the Fed ex Forum for an event. Easy listening and informative.
