Carolyn Michael-Banks is the owner and founder of A Tour of Possibilities (ATOP), LLC, an African American History Sightseeing Tour company of Memphis, TN. She is a native of the Bronx, New York, and lived there until she attended Clark University in Worcester, MA.
She relocated to Washington, D.C. and began working for a sightseeing company in various capacities. She quickly rose up through the ranks and became General
Manager of one of the largest themed-sightseeing tour companies in the country.
As GM, she chose to include African American history in the script which was noticeably missing. These changes were not readily accepted by the CEO. The company moved her to develop and launch operations in Savannah, GA; and then Philadelphia, PA.
Michael-Banks was downsized and decided to develop ATOP in Philadelphia. After five years Michael-Banks relocated to Memphis, TN.
ATOP’s mission is to share the historical and cultural gems that African Americans have contributed to Memphis. ATOP’s aim is to take visitors and residents alike on an eye-opening journey that enlightens and entertains. We share a perspective of the history of Memphis traditional tours do not provide. We share a Memphis you can feel!
A Tour of Possibilities, LLC celebrated its 9th anniversary on August 6, 2023. ATOP has been ranked the #1 tour in Memphis and has received TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence four consecutive years.
