Best way to see Memphis highlights on a fun and informative guided tour. Well organized. Clean bus. Good driver. Great entertainment. It would take me two days to find all of the places we saw in 90 minutes. The big plus was for us, the Sun Studio add-on. This is where it happened for so many great musical artists. 30 days later, we were sitting in a theater watching the debut of, "Elvis". Thank you Backbeat Tours. You created a greater context for our enjoyment of the movie. Like I said, "Legendary!"

The bus trip was informative but freezing! There was an excellent presentation at Sun City but it was also cold. My advice is to bring a sweater or sweatshirt!
