3 stars for a beautiful boat ride that needs a lot of improvement…read more My family was in Memphis for Labor Day weekend, saw this $20 deal on Groupon and thought that was a good price for a 90 minute boat ride! We bought the tickets and were told to print the tickets...but the tickets you'd print aren't really your tickets you have to show that printed ticket in the gift shop to get your actual ticket. I bet you're as baffled as we were. There's got to be a better way. This ended up being the theme for the cruise. We see a huge lump of people and know we should get somewhere in the group. There was no front of the line, middle of the line, or back of the line. There's got to be a better way! A woman announces that she'll be taking the tickets and moved to the front. The 15 feet gates open and there's no organizations as to who is in line where- everyone just pushes forward and she takes your ticket. There were probably 200(?) people no vying to be next in line. There's got to be a better way!! Then we proceed down the circular walkway where my 6yo cousin misses getting hit by their golf cart by 2 inches. It's a 15 ft wide ramp and there is no bell, no noise, absolutely nothing to notify him the golf cart was coming, FULL SPEED down the ramp behind him. There's GOT to be a better way. We continue to wait in a more organized line once we get to the boat. It's 3 stories: an enclosed first floor with tables and chairs, an open, but covered second floor, and an open, uncovered top floor. We opt for the front of the boat in chairs. Slightly covered, great view, breezy, perfection!! Then a small lady in front of me falls to the ground because her chair gave out. 30 minutes it happens again to another young, fit guy. These are the cheapest chairs you buy at the dollar store. You know what's coming next...there's got to be a better way!!! 90 % of the ride is narrated by a nice gentleman who knows a lot about the river, Memphis, history, etc. His commentary is interesting but he told two lengthy stories about boats sinking and lots of people dying. Am I the first and only person who has issue with such a thing?! PLEASE, find a better way! The ride is beautiful and breezy and we enjoy ourselves knowing we only paid $20. Until these issues are corrected, I cannot give a better star review.

My boyfriend and I wanted to do something different. My co-workers ran across an ad for the Memphis…read moreRiverboats. Hey, that's something we could do since we've never done it before! I opted for the 'Midnight Booze Cruise'...a two-hour ride along the Mississippi. Boy were we in for a surprise! We were thinking this would be a nice, relaxing, and classy boat ride. We were greeted with straight Ratchedness! Young folks cursing at each other, shorter than short outfits, tighter than tight outfits, lashes looking like paint brushes, the smell of weed... just straight ratchet! Now, if that's your thing, then that's your thing. But obviously it's not ours. I just wish I would have known. We entered the boat and it was wall-to-wall and back-to-back! We entered through the door and walked right back out! $85 wasted. If this is your your of crowd, I'm sure you would have a great time! Otherwise, you should pass on it. Just my lil two cents!

Over the…read moreroute, we made stops at Sun Studios, The Peabody, the Bass Pro Pyramid, Graceland, and Beale Street. We were permitted just a couple minutes to come and explore each site and those felt a little rushed. The tour did give us lots of ideas for what to do during our free time.

We also went up to the observation deck at the top, which was such a fun experience. The view over the city and the Mississippi River was amazing. The only thing I wish is that we had gone at sunset. It would've been even more beautiful. A Must-Visit for friend visiting!

Rolling into Memphis, our first stop wasn't Beale Street or Graceland--it was the Tennessee Welcome…read moreCenter. And honestly? It felt like walking straight into a hug from the state itself. The building sits right by the Mississippi River, like it knows it's got the best view in town. We stepped out of the car and were immediately greeted by none other than Elvis Presley himself--or at least a very confident bronze version of him. Nearby? B.B. King, mid-strum. I hadn't even picked up a brochure yet and was already planning a full-on Memphis playlist. Inside, the place was spotless. Cool air, clean restrooms, and a staff so friendly they made us feel like we were long-lost cousins just coming back to visit. One of the ladies behind the desk insisted on handing us "everything we might need"--maps, coupons, and a cheerful rundown of what not to miss in the city. She even offered to take our picture with Elvis. I didn't say no. Out back, the view of the river was unreal. Bridges stretched across the water, sun glinting off every ripple. People were sitting on benches, sipping drinks from vending machines and watching the barges roll by like slow-moving giants. We were only supposed to stop for five minutes. We stayed for almost forty. Five stars, no question. The Tennessee Welcome Center doesn't just welcome you--it invites you to fall in love with Memphis before you even get to the first stoplight.

Quality/Quantity - People here were so welcoming (pun intended) and so nice…read more They treated my daughter like a little happy curious girl. The team here has a wealth of knowledge. Then right before we left, they gave us a welcome gift. These bags will make perfect goodie bags for all the souvenirs that we bought for our friends and family. Atmosphere - Good size welcome center. Very spacious, see pictures. Sounded by good walking parks and the largest Bass Pro Shop, see other reviews. And they suggested we go to Mud Island Park, another nice treat. Well the Mud Island Park needs a lot of love... But it was still a nice retreat. Plenty of parking. Clean bathrooms, but look at some of the signs that I took pictures of, lol. Service - 5 stars, See above. Price - Free. Owner Comment - Thank you to the state of TN for such a great welcome center.

We visited Dyer's Burgers, Blues City Cafe, Kings Palace Cafe, Rum Boogie Cafe and A. Schwabs. The tour provided more than ample delicious samples of deep-fried cheeseburgers, milk shakes, ribs, jumbo chicken wings, gumbo and gelato. Taylor also gave us recommendations and suggestions on several additional Beale Street restaurants we did not visit on the Food Tour. To say the least, our stomachs were more than full when the tour ended. I recommend this tour to anyone who visits Menphis. You will not be disappointed.

A great way to explore and learn all at the same time. Also it's great for families with people who can't walk a tour. This allows you to tour no matter your ability. The tour guide said she has done this in other states too I would travel to experience this in every state. What an excellent concept. I hope it goes further! I posted a few pictures you have to go in the tour to hear their stories.

The 'Queen' was our guide and she totally made this Memphis trip a memorable one. Even though I've been to Memphis a few times, I've never had someone provide depth to the city's history and culture that is out in the open but not really seen. Queen doesn't just spit knowledge-- she keeps everyone engaged throughout the tour. She also is a master at linking the past with the present, with an added emphasis on prompting action to shape future history. You have my word--take this tour at first opportunity and you won't be disappointed. It'll also be valuable for learning good food and tourist spots for after the tour. Hint: smoked turkey ribs...
