Overview

The Memphis City Bus Tour begins at a downtown Memphis hotel with a guide who provides narration from a mini-coach. The tour passes several notable sites including the Pyramid Arena, a 20,142-seat venue shaped like an Egyptian pyramid, and Victorian Village, where visitors see homes built in the 1800s. The route includes the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel, the site where Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated, as well as statues of Elvis Presley and B.B. King. There is a 30-minute stop at A. Schwab, a general store that has been open for 120 years. The tour also stops at the Peabody Hotel to watch the daily march of the Peabody Ducks from the rooftop to the lobby. The bus travels along Beale Street and Cotton Row, with views of the Mississippi River. The total tour duration ranges from two to seven hours depending on selected options. An optional upgrade includes a cruise aboard the Memphis Riverboats, a paddlewheel boat that sails along the Mississippi River. The cruise passes Tom Lee Park while the captain provides commentary about the river’s influence on Memphis commerce. Another optional upgrade offers admission to Sun Studio, where Elvis Presley recorded his first song. Hotel pickup and drop-off are available for select downtown Memphis hotels. The riverboat cruise and Sun Studio admission must be selected as add-ons during booking. After the tour and any optional activities, guests are returned to their hotel.
