Are you looking for a way to see Memphis without joining a tour group? On this self-guided tour, you'll discover where to find the best beats, BBQ and brews in town.
Many visitors to Bluff City think of its historic woes in the 1970s and 1980s, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, when the inner city was rife with riots and looting. But Memphis is on the rebound, and on this walking tour, I’ll share how the city is reclaiming its spot as the cultural hub of the Delta blues, brews, and BBQ.
You'll walk from Central Station Memphis, through the downtown area and the historical Beale Street Entertainment District, home of the Blues.
Along the way, Phil, a tour producer and working actor, will show you opulent theatres, skyscrapers, churches, and monuments, including Orpheum Theatre, The Peabody Memphis Hotel, Tennessee Club and the National Civil Rights Museum.
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. Service animals allowed. Public transportation options are available nearby. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. Please bring your own smartphone and headphones
