Greetings! My name is Carolyn I am offering regularly scheduled tours with a narrative and perspective not customarily included in traditional tours. My mission is to take you on an eye-opening journey, an experience, that enlightens and entertains. I share a Memphis you can feel! Together we will explore the influences and contributions made by African Americans in the development of this great city. You will be engaged not just by the sites we cover but the lesser known stories woven in between those historical sites. For over 25 years I have researched, developed tour routes, written scripts in Washington DC, Savannah, GA, Philadelphia, PA and Memphis, TN. I love the Hospitality Industry! It has given me the opportunity to meet some amazing people from around the world. Giving a tour to Oprah Winfrey and some members of her audience was one of many highlights. I look forward to sharing the richness of Memphis' history with you, my VIP guest! And if you want I am happy to customize the tour for you. Please inquire for a quote. I am certified by the following entities: City of Memphis - Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Shelby County - Locally Owned Small Business (LOSB) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Shelby County School Vendor Listed in "100 Things to Do in Memphis Before you Die". My vehicle can hold up to 10 guests. There is limited room for luggage. Vehicle can accommodate a collapsable wheel chair but it does not have a motorized lift mechanism.

This driving tour will give you an opportunity to experience Memphis in ways not often included in traditional tours. You will not only see sites connected to the struggle and triumph of African Americans in Memphis, but you will hear stories that will help connect the dots often not taught to us in school. It's one thing to say you have been to Memphis, TN. It's another thing to say you have EXPERIENCED Memphis. Join me and let me show you a Memphis you can feel!
5 stars is not enough for the fabulous tour we shared with Carolyn! Her wealth of knowledge and depth of history is well communicated! And her passion for people and place will impact your life!! She is indeed a ‘queen’ in the tourism industry! We were blessed to be able to tour with her!
Carolyn was just awesome! I have been to Memphis many times, but she was able to bring a huge amount of behind-the-scenes history of the city to life in regard to civil rights, music, and the civil war. And even more important she is just a fabulous person! If you are heading to Memphis do yourself a HUGE favor and book a tour with Carolyn!!!!!
Queen is knowledgeable, passionate, and entertaining. This is a wonderful tour. Highly recommend!
Carolyn was fun, informative and enthusiastic. In our 3 hours we went all over Memphis and saw at around 20 sights, from the famous to the obscure. Carolyn likes to ask questions and the interactive nature of her tour makes it all the better.
Tour is both Informative and fun, a winning combination. Carolyn is very passionate about her love for Memphis and its history. You will leave her tour having a real feel for the City now and in the past. And Carolyn conveys all this using facts and historical sites spiced with a little music and humor.
Queen (don't call me Carolyn!) did a great job. Arrived early. Very knowledgeable about Memphis history. Took us by many sites/neighborhoods that most tours don't get to see. She would not allow us to open or close our own doors-told us that was her responsibility! My wife and I had a great time learning some of the history of Memphis.
Sites on the tour include: - Slave Haven: a site that documents the history of the Underground Railroad - Historic Mason Temple: where Dr. M L King, Jr. delivered his last speech; "I've Been to the Mountaintop, " the day before his was assassinated. - The National Civil Rights Museum/Lorraine Motel: the site of the assassination of Dr. M L King, Jr. - Beale Street: hear "the rest of the story" about one of America's most iconic streets. - Stax Museum of American Soul Music: one of the few museums in the world dedicated to Soul Music, located in the heart of Soulsville, USA. We will visit several neighborhoods: Uptown Pinch District South Memphis Soulsville USA The Edge There is so much more to Memphis than Downtown, and I am excited to show you more of it by visiting several other neighborhoods. You will get a sense of where Memphis is going in the future. I would be more than happy to customize the tour for you. Please inquire for a quote.
