Cold but exciting day

Published on Jan, 2025

With family visiting Memphis for the first time, we were excited to share the city weā€™ve come to call home since moving here in 2020. What better way to do that than with the Memphis Discovery Tour? Taylor Nicole and Miss Princess were absolutely delightful, fun and full of smiles, even on this chilly 20 degree January day. It ended up being just the four of us with these two amazing women and that made the experience feel even more personal and special. Taylor Nicole was a fantastic guide, brimming with knowledge and a true passion for the history of Memphis. Her enthusiasm made every stop along the tour come alive with stories and insights. It was clear she genuinely cares about the city and its people, making the experience feel not just educational but also incredibly personal. Her energy made us feel like we were touring the city with a friend who truly wanted us to understand and appreciate all that Memphis has to offer. We had an amazing time on this tour and couldnā€™t recommend it more! Whether you're visiting or a local, it's the perfect way to enjoy Memphis' rich history and vibrant culture.
