Taylor Nicole was our tour guide for this Discovery Tour in Memphis. She was informative, knowledgeable, and passionate, while taking us back to the time and place of each stop on our tour. I could have spend the whole day driving around Memphis with her and listening to her stories. She was superb!

Taylor Nicole was the best tour guide! I'd been to Memphis before, but she was very knowledgeable and provided insights into the history that I never knew! She and our bus driver Ms. Princess, went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our experience with them! You'll be happy you booked this tour!!!
