This was a great tour! We loved Sun Studio! The whole city is rich with blues music history and of course, Elvis. Driving down the same streets as Elvis and standing where he stood while recording was awesome. Seeing where MLK was assassinated at the Lorraine motel was touching. Beale St was ok. Probably better at night tho. $10 cover to get into BB Kings restaurant just to have a quick lunch was out of the question tho! Silky O’Sullivan’s had live out door music and no cover to walk in the door! Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great!! The one thing that was a total waste of time was seeing the Peabody Ducks! So over crowded we didn’t even see them. 20 minutes of history and nonsense and literally 20 seconds of the ducks walking in and jumping in the fountain. This def needs to be taken off the tour! Overall, it was a nice way to spend a few hours while in Memphis.

Sam was our tour guide from Memphis Best tours and he was terrific! We take tours everywhere that we travel so that a local can let us relax and we get to see as much as possible in our short visit. He got us to see the Peabody ducks, which I loved, Sun Studios, and many other exciting places along the way. His knowledge and love for Memphis were apparent in his tour and my husband and I now both love Memphis too! I cannot wait to return. Thank you again, Sam for making our visit pleasant, giving us a few laughs along the way and sharing your beautiful home with us.
