Come Hungry! - What a fun tour! Taylor was an amazing guide. She provided us with a lot of history and fun facts about Memphis. We had 5 food stops on the tour. Alcoholic drinks were on your own, but food, water, and sometimes soda was included. We started at Dyer's burgers sharing a double cheeseburger and learned their history. On to Rum Boogie Cafe for gumbo and a look at the fantastic signed guitars in there. Next was King's Palace Cafe for BBQ'd wings and more Memphis history. On to Blues City Cafe for delicious BBQ ribs with beans and slaw. Last stop was Beale Sweets for tasty fudge samples and a piece for everyone to take home. We were so glad we signed up for this tour to give us an excellent taste of Beale Street.

Blues and BBQ - Taylor was a great guide. Not only did we taste some very good food but she was also very knowledgeable about the area. Sometimes she would talk a little fast and I had to ask her to repeat something but overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend it.

Awesome tour!! - Taylor and her dad were very, very informative. You can tell he is proud of his city. Gave us lots of information we would not have known if we didn't do this tour. Food was great but I have to honestly say I enjoyed the history more. The lady at the fudge store was funny. I highly recommend doing this tour.

Go to restaurants on Beale Street on your own. Not worth the price of a tour. - The tour was not worth the price. The guide gave us some historical information, but I expected more. We stayed on Beale Street and could have found these restaurants in our own. The time spent at our first stop was far too long as the guide was chatting with the workers there. At the place where we had chicken. It was rushed. Then at the restaurant where we had ribs we had to gulp down our food and barely had time to finish. Although the food was good, I would not recommend this tour to others.
