I booked this because the reviews on TripAdvisor were good, but I was still skeptical. We thought it would be hokey and would probably have very amateur musicians. We were completely wrong and really surprised by the quality. Our musical guide, Eric Hughes, turned out to be somewhat of a local celebrity. We later saw his billboards around town and name on marquees and in advertisements across the City. He was incredible. Not only a charismatic story teller, and a Memphis local, but AMAZING energetic blues singer. You definitely got the sense he had great passion for his music and the City. It was a great way to start our visit to get the lay of the land and hear some history and stories. Personally, I thought the 90 minute tour was just the right amount of time.

Absolutely unexpected pleasure to find that when we got on the bus we were all given a piece of musical equipment, eg shakers, Tamborine etc and informed to just 'shake, rattle and roll' if we felt like joining in. the next 90 mins or so was well worth the fee as the pretty young host was extremely knowledgeable about the Memphis local area and it's vast musical history. (She could sing and play the guitar very well, also).

I have taken this tour twice and it does not disappoint. If you want to learn about the rich music history of Memphis, this tour is a must. If you are in Memphis - this tour is a must do. We had different tour guides on each of the tours and they were both great.
