We had a fantastic time and learned about as much as a person can learn in three hours. Brandon definitely knows his stuff and gave us some details and info. that maybe the old locals don’t even know. Not only was he filled with historical information but his background on the music side was really helpful since my wife is a music nut and knows alot about the history of music in the area and he blew her away. We’ll worth the time.

The guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job. We were disappointed when he dropped us off at Sun Studios and told us we were on our own to get back.

The guide called in sick so 10mins before the start, I got a mail of the company with apologies and the suggestion to reschedule in the afternoon, which fortunately worked with our schedule. Our guide Mike was stellar and we loved the tour and the Sun Studios.
