Amazing True Crime Tour in Memphis!

Published on Feb, 2025

My husband and I had an incredible experience on this true crime tour! Even though it was just the two of us, Mary gave the tour with the same energy and enthusiasm as if she were speaking to a full bus. Her deep knowledge of Memphis history, engaging storytelling, and friendly personality made the tour both fascinating and enjoyable. Aubrey was a fantastic driver, ensuring a smooth ride and perfectly timing each stop to align with Mary’s narration. Together, they created an immersive and well-paced experience, bringing the stories of Memphis’ past to life. If you’re a fan of true crime or just love learning about the hidden history of a city, this tour is a must! Highly recommend!

Recommend to everyone!

Taylor Nicole and Princess were amazing!! Honestly Taylor needs her own podcast. She’s informational, funny and detail oriented about all the stories. I went with my fiance and as a first timer in Memphis , we recommend this trip to anyone going to Memphis. The ride was comfortable going thru the city and Taylor pointed out historical landmarks along the way such as Martin Luther king famous Lorraine hotel etc.

Interesting History of Memphis crime.

Published on Dec, 2024

We opted for a crime tour after enjoying one in Seattle. I wish it wasn’t raining during the tour. We definitely didn’t don’t get the full experience. We enjoyed the stories and learned a lot. Taylor was great.

Nice fun.

Taylor was high energy even with the rain. The storytelling kept us intrigued beyond the bus. 10/10 recommendation doing this if you are in the area.

Fun way to learn about the dark side of Memphis!
