点评:Yesterday, my wife and I had the pleasure of having Tad as our tour guide. He’d taken me on a tour 13 years ago, and when booking this trip, he was one of the first people I wanted to reach out to.
He did not disappoint! He is an absolute gem, and his hospitality and knowledge of the area are top notch. His car is known by all walks of life in Memphis, and every single person we drove by, had a smile on their face. People would stop and talk to him and us, and it was just a real treat. For me, it was a way to see “authentic” Memphis. We came for Graceland and Beale Street, but we leave with memories of a city that you just don’t get in the tourist areas.
That is not to discredit the museums and halls of fame. But Tad will give you an amazing experience, just floating around in his big ol’ caddy, with his commentary. And we didn’t just listen. We’d talk a bit about our hometown (Vancouver, BC), and give him some of that history.
He’s just a great guy to talk to, he’s knowledgeable and informative, and very welcoming, and just a good guy overall.
I’m not in Memphis often, but he’s a guy I’ll be in contact with every time I come, even if it’s just to have a cup of coffee.
If you’re in Memphis and want a truly amazing, authentic experience, look up American Dream Safari and send Tad an email and start planning your tour. It is so worth it!
Thank you, Tad! Until next time, brother!
翻译:昨天,我和妻子有幸请到泰德作为我们的导游。13年前他曾带我游览过,因此在预订这次旅行时,他是我最先想联系的人之一。
他果然没有让我们失望!他真是个不可多得的好人,热情周到,对当地情况也了如指掌。他的车在孟菲斯的各个阶层中都很有名,我们开车经过时,每个见到他的人脸上都挂着笑容。人们还会停下来和他以及我们交谈,那真是一段美妙的体验。对我而言……这是一种领略“真正的”孟菲斯的方式。我们原本是冲着格雷斯兰庄园和比尔街而来,但离开时却带走了对这座城市的深刻记忆——那些是仅在旅游区里无法感受到的体验。
当然,这并不是要贬低当地的博物馆和名人堂。不过,塔德会让你获得一段绝妙的体验:坐上他那辆大卡迪拉克,听着他的讲解,随车漫游全城。我们也不只是被动聆听,还会聊聊自己的家乡(不列颠哥伦比亚省的温哥华),把他也带入我们的历史故事中。
他真是个非常适合聊天的好人啊。他知识渊博、乐于分享,为人热情友好,总的来说就是个很好的人。
我并不常去孟菲斯,但每次去都会联系他,哪怕只是去喝杯咖啡而已。
如果你身在孟菲斯,想要获得一次真正精彩又地道的体验,那就去了解一下“American Dream Safari”吧,给Tad发封邮件,开始规划你的之旅吧。绝对物有所值!
谢谢你,Tad!下次再见啦,兄弟!
