Memphis is beautiful!! - Wonderfully historical, and informative. Our driver Michelle was so knowledgeable not to mention absolutely hilarious. Only thing some people might find a bit difficult is her southern accent. I for one, had no problem. This tour really made me want to explore the city more the next time I visit. Sun Studios is a national treasure. Probably the pinnacle of the entire tour. Well worth the price of the ticket, you won't be disappointed.

Not to be missed!! - Sam is the bomb! The tour was awesome, ran into 2 other couples from Nebraska, small world! Sam was so knowledgeable, kind, accommodating and FUNNY! We learned so much about Memphis and her rich history. He is truly a great ambassador for your city! Sun studio was the best! If you love music you can't miss it. Our tour guide at Sun Studio, Graham, was amazing. His enthusiasm was contagious, we felt like we had gone back in time, you could just feel the energy of the great artists that have recorded there. We could have listened to Graham play the piano for hours! What a treat!

Interesting but too long in parts - Great tour but a little long winded. Although the drivers knowledge and information regarding all of the business/charity and hospitals it kind of dragged on a bit. A shorter version of that part of the tour would have been far better.

Explore City Highlights - Our time on Beale Street was split. Before and After Sun Studio tour . This did not give us enough time to explore it or grab lunch. The rest of the tour was great.

Take this tour if you want to see the hospital district - Tour was outrageous in cost we paid $412 Australian dollars after converting from US dollar. We drove around looking at some great sites but there’s not a lot to see in Memphis. We were dropped for a short stop in Beale street was told a time to be back on the bus and 2 minutes after the time We watch the bus drive off without us !! Seriously we couldn’t believe ! As the most important part of tour was to go see Sun Studio . We stood on the street not believing what had happened. Then we had to catch an Uber to the studio to catch the tour. When we approached the driver there was not even an apology. Very disappointed!!! Save your money and Uber around.
