Learned about Memphis history. They ask for you to not take pictures of the inside. Why I don’t know and wish you could. Full review by wallflowerone

You can just arrive and join a frequently scheduled tour. There is no need to buy tickets in advance unless you are bringing a large group. The tours at Slave Haven are wonderful. The price is more like $15 so the tour you are talking about must be much more extensive and go more places. Don't miss Slave Haven. A tip is that when I was there the CC machine wasn't working so be sure to have plenty of cash with you.
