Welcome to Memphis
Memphis serves up a feast for all the senses, as it sizzles with hip restaurants, happening bars, and rocking music venues. Visitors flock to this vibrant Tennessee city on the banks of the Mississippi River for its musical history, legendary barbecue, and classic Southern charm. Memphis boasts a proud history of elevating some of the greatest musicians of all time to immortality, and it places this history proudly on display. Book a private or small-group walking or coach tour to discover the B.B. King Blues Club; the Statue of Elvis Presley; the Stax Museum of American Soul Music; and Sun Studio, where Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash launched their rock ’n’ roll careers. Elvis aficionados won’t want to miss a guided tour of Presley’s home, Graceland, to see memorabilia and his 1955 pink Cadillac. Memphis’ heritage goes beyond the blues, though: Take a history-focused walking tour to learn about the city’s role in the Civil Rights movement; and check out the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. For relaxing ride, settle back on a riverboat tour down the Mississippi River to glide past Victorian Village and the Memphis Pyramid. Finally, investigate Beale Street’s jazz clubs in downtown Memphis with a guide; or hunt for ghosts on a group exploration across the city.
