Memphis guided day tour with Beale Street, Civil Rights landmarks, pork BBQ tasting, and a Mississippi Riverboat cruise, plus optional museums.
“Great six hour tour that started with a drive through the city in a mini-bus; made a few stops before having a BBQ tasting at Central BBQ. We chose the Civil Rights Museum option which we simply walked across the street to the entrance. Could have spent more time in the museum. The river cruise was enjoyable & informative. Great choice if your time is limited in Memphis.”
Nashville’s General Jackson Showboat dinner cruise on the Cumberland River with live music, a paddlewheel ride, and downtown skyline views.
“OVERALL this boat cruise was a fun way to spend an evening. The days before we went there was severe weather that caused flooding and the river was too high for us to travel as far as the Nashville City line but they took us as far as they could. Disappointing but nothing could be done about that. The entertainment was excellent and professional and was the highlight of the night. The food was plentiful and mostly good but very salty. One thing that we did not know was that there was assigned seating so hopefully you enjoy who you are seated with! We were at the very back in…”
