A Tour of Possibilities tour guide, Ms. Queen did an excellent job in explaining the various points of interest. It was so informative that I highly recommend it to be the very first schedule tour for anyone visiting Memphis for the first time. A Tour of Possibilities and Ms. Queen are an asset to Memphis tourism industry.

Queen is truly the Queen of Memphis! We were on the edge of our seats during the entire tour. Queen is extremely knowledgeable and found a way to keep everyone on the tour engaged! I look forward to coming back to Memphis again soon.

This was an excellent tour of the civil rights movement in Memphis and I can’t recommend it enough. I have been to a few other tours/museums (Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, Memphis, NOLA) so I was familiar with a lot of the history already but I learned so much more than I expected. I wish I could point to something specific but really it’s just everything! The history, the connection to current events, the incorporation of personal anecdotes - all of it! I would absolutely take this tour again and recommend others to do it too.
