Welcome to the beautiful city of Memphis! Get ready to embark on a delightful 2 mile walking & trolley tour of some of the city’s most iconic and historic landmarks. Lace up your walking shoes, grab a bottle of water, and let’s get started.

Following our walk along the river, we’ll journey to the South Main Arts District and browse the eclectic art displays and charming boutiques. We’ll also stop outside The Arcade Restaurant (one of Memphis’ oldest diners) and the National Civil Rights Museum (where Dr Martin Luther King Jr. was tragically assassinated).

From South Main, we’ll take the Trolley to get a glimpse of the Memphis Pyramid and St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, before returning to the world famous Beale Street. Remember to stay hydrated, wear comfortable clothing, and be prepared for weather changes during our walking tour, as we explore this wonderful city!

At our meeting point, we’ll take time to hear history of the Orpheum Theatre. Built in 1928, this majestic venue embodies the grandeur of the golden era of American theater.

Embark on a captivating journey along the scenic riverfront of Memphis, Tennessee, where history, culture, and natural beauty converge in an irresistible symphony for the senses. Let’s take the time to capture the beauty of the river and enjoy the serenity of the waterfront.

Visit South Main, a vibrant and historic neighborhood, known for its unique blend of art, culture, dining, and entertainment.

The Arcade is a historic diner located in Memphis, Tennessee and one that was visited many times by Elvis Presley. It is one of the oldest cafes in the city, having been established in 1919.
