This review is long over due as we traveled to Memphis back in November and are just now reviewing. We took this tour with Jackie and she was nothing short of amazing! Extremely informative and definitely entertaining. I learned things in one day that I never learned in school or as adult. We highly recommended this tour, especially with Jackie! She made our the trip to Memphis memorable, definitely a highlight.
