Brandon was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide! We really enjoyed our experience! He shared with us a lot of interesting details and history that we found fascinating. Also, he personally called me the day before to confirm the time and location of our tour and stayed in communication via text, which I thought was very considerate. At Sun Studio, our tour guide was phenomenal! She was passionate about the history and the people who made it an iconic place in the music world. In summary, everything about this tour was special and memorable!
