We enjoyed very much this pleasant journey though historical Memphis. Our musical tour guide was delightful, personal, talented and informative. She has a great guitar and song talent and knew details about her home town that made our journey so enjoyable. This was one of the best tours we have been on for any city tour, and was reasonably priced. My 86 year old mother came with us and they accommodated her walker easily. Recommend it for anyone wanting a pleasant afternoon in historical Memphis.

Went on this tour the day before the Liberty Bowl. Thought it would be a fun way to learn about the city. I am 52 years old and enjoyed the tour very much. My 2 sons in there 20's did not enjoy as much because they were not as familiar with Memphis music icons. But the tour guide did a good jog teaching us and it was pleasant to listen to her sing. A fun atmosphere was created on the bus. I appreciate that it was a "music bus tour", but I would have enjoyed more time allowed for the history of the city that did not have a music angle.

Fun and entertaining This was one of the highlights from our visit to Memphis. We took this tour on New Year’s Day. It was cold so it was nice to be able to ride around in a heated bus. We met up at the gift shop at BB Kings on Beale Street. It was a small group that day. I think there were only about 12 – 15 of us. We took only the 90 minute Mojo Tour which my wife and I both enjoyed. From BB Kings we walked across the street to where we boarded this beautifully restored bus from the 1950’s. In addition to our group, there was the driver and a young lady who was the tour guide and musician. Just behind the driver and taking up about two rolls of where there would normally be bench seats, was a small stage and chair where our guide/musician took her seat. She passed out these small egg shaped rattle so we could join in and accompany her as she sang and played the guitar during the tour. She was quite good. It was a lot of fun as we stopped by famous sites dealing with the history of Memphis but with emphasis on the music. This was the highlight of our visit to Memphis.
