Perfect walking tour to learn about Memphis landmarks. Love ending at the Peabody for the March of the Ducks! Go to the bar and order a rubber ducky cocktail to finish off the tour!

The tour guide was very enthusiastic and to a degree knowledgable of the history of Memphis. Having read books on the history of Memphis, there was more that could have been included. I’m guessing the itinerary and script was planned by whomever.
Memphis is looking pretty sad, but there are still old buildings and homes and churches that figure significantly to the history. Little of this was included.
The tour is listed as 2-3 hours. It started at the Peabody Hotel at 9:30 and finished there at 11:00.
I participated in a walking tour of Toronto July 2024. The Memphis tour pales in comparison to the Toronto experience.
