My husband described the ride as pulling teeth, as the 20 year old young lady had to be asked what buildings were. This was our second visit so we had some knowledge but a first for our grandchildren. I have to be fair and say that she handled the horse and carriage well but maybe she needs to brush up on a bit more of Memphis history

A great way to explore and learn all at the same time. Also it's great for families with people who can't walk a tour. This allows you to tour no matter your ability. The tour guide said she has done this in other states too I would travel to experience this in every state. What an excellent concept. I hope it goes further! I posted a few pictures you have to go in the tour to hear their stories.

The 'Queen' was our guide and she totally made this Memphis trip a memorable one. Even though I've been to Memphis a few times, I've never had someone provide depth to the city's history and culture that is out in the open but not really seen. Queen doesn't just spit knowledge-- she keeps everyone engaged throughout the tour. She also is a master at linking the past with the present, with an added emphasis on prompting action to shape future history. You have my word--take this tour at first opportunity and you won't be disappointed. It'll also be valuable for learning good food and tourist spots for after the tour. Hint: smoked turkey ribs...

We visited Dyer's Burgers, Blues City Cafe, Kings Palace Cafe, Rum Boogie Cafe and A. Schwabs. The tour provided more than ample delicious samples of deep-fried cheeseburgers, milk shakes, ribs, jumbo chicken wings, gumbo and gelato. Taylor also gave us recommendations and suggestions on several additional Beale Street restaurants we did not visit on the Food Tour. To say the least, our stomachs were more than full when the tour ended. I recommend this tour to anyone who visits Menphis. You will not be disappointed.

I found Historical Haunts on Yelp and proceeded to check out their website hoping that a couple of spots are still available when we get in to town. They offer different types of tours. They have a walking tour, bus tour, a tour and haunting at one old house, a pub crawl which visits a few very old establishments. We luckily get in for their bus tour. It was perfect because there's scattered showers predicted and this is the best way to go around town without getting soaked. Our guide is very knowledgeable, and really played the part. She was even wearing a Victorian costume. If you are a history nerd and would like to hear some of those through this tours, this is definitely the best tours you'll find.

The bus took us all over town and we got out on three separate occasions to explore. My favorite part was Millionaire's Row, with beautiful historic homes that contain some juicy history. The van is comfortable and it was nice to get back in on a slightly chilly February evening. I imagine this would be great in the summer too when it is a little too hot outside for a walking tour. Easy and convenient meeting location at The Broom Closet (seriously check out the merch here- they've got some great finds!) Thank you to Matt and also the owners Stephen and Emily for a wonderful experience.

Woodruff-Fontaine House 680 Adams Ave, Memphis, TN 38105…read more This area became known as the Victorian Village, and the main street through the neighborhood was nicknamed "Millionaires Row." Amos Woodruff and his brother came to Memphis from Rahway, New Jersey in 1845 to expand their carriage-making business. In 1870, Amos Woodruff purchased a plot of land for $12,000 and began construction on the mansion which would end up costing the Woodruffs $40,000 to build. Unfortunately, about 12 years later, the yellow fever epidemic forced the Woodruff family to sell the house.l Noland Fontaine purchased the house from the Woodruffs in 1883 for $40,000 and his family lived there until 1929. In 1930, the house was sold to Rosa Lee, who used the house to expand her art school, Lee Memorial Art Academy. The school moved to Overton Park in 1959, and established themselves as Memphis Art Academy, later becoming the Memphis College of Art. The Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities saved the house from demolition after 2 years of vacancy, restored the mansion, and then opened its doors as a historic house museum

The beautiful wife and I did a carriage ride and had a great time -- our driver was very nice and gave us the option of "do you want to know what you're seeing? Or do you just want to relax and enjoy?" Love how all the carriages have an accompanying dog. And I could only think of my Disney princess loving nieces when seeing the "Cinderella" carriages. Sure, it's a touristy thing to do, but some times you need a break from beer and ribs. Tip: these aren't smooth rides. If you're bringing a beer on board, keep it far enough away so it doesn't slosh on you.
