“Billy’s tour left us with a much deeper knowledge and feel for the Delta. He took 3 adults and 2 kids on a supremely engaging ride through Clarksdale, Friars Point (standing where Robert played and Muddy heard him), to the top of and beyond the levee system as well as a beautiful bank of the mighty Mississippi River, through Stovall, and much of the backcountry. Three hours flew by. Relational is just about right. We experienced the past and present of the Delta…what brings optimism and what holds the region back. We are still talking about it today. Billy is an exceptional guide and a cool cat. Thank you.”

“This was the Best Tour Guide I have ever been with, making sure I got to see the True Delta Past, Present and Future of what this area has to offer.”

“WOW! This was, hands down, the most unique and authentic tour I’ve ever been on. Even my boyfriend, who is generally not a huge guided tour fan, LOVED Billy’s tour. Billy is a true local, super knowledgeable, and kind. I could have driven around with him all day! Words cannot express how impressed I am by this little town of Clarksdale—thanks to Billy! If you’re new to Clarksdale, Billy’s tour is a MUST! Thank you, Billy, for the sincere and truly unique introduction to your beautiful hometown! We forgive you for making it hard to leave. ;)”
