More Information

Includes all the sights and attractions of the Memphis Discovery Tour, plus admission to your choice of one of three great Memphis museums, and ending the day with a riverboat cruise on the Mississippi River!

After a tour of the city and time inside the museum of your choice, you'll have some time to explore famous Beale Street on your own before boarding the Island Queen for a memorable journey on Ol’ Man River. You’ll get exceptional views of the downtown skyline, the Pyramid, the bluffs, the Arkansas “dueling grounds” and more, and hear interesting historical commentary and lore.

The Mississippi is one of the world’s great rivers, and has a cherished place in American history and folklore: for many it’s a “bucket list” item to cruise its waters. If you ask us, though, there’s simply no more pleasant way to spend a lazy afternoon than on the water.

• The Lorraine Motel, to see the balcony where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot (admission included if option selected) • Central BBQ, to sample some of the best barbeque in Memphis (tasting included) • Lansky Brothers, clothier to Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and B.B. King, and still one of the most stylish places to shop! • Riverboat cruise on the Mississippi River Along the way, we'll show you our favorite Memphis sights, including: • Orpheum Theater • Victorian Village historic mansions • St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital • Redbirds’ Stadium (AutoZone Park) • Historic Cotton Row • Court Square, the heart of 19th century Memphis • Shelby County Courthouse • St. Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral • Beale Street • Hotel Chisca, where DJ Dewey Philips played Elvis for the first time • Lauderdale Courts, an early home of Elvis Presley
