This tour is a MUST, especially for music lovers. I learned so much about the music history of Memphis and had a great time. Nancy Apple was a great tour guide. She is like a walking encyclopedia of Memphis history. It was so fun learning all about Memphis with great music in between information. Be sure to tour Sun Studios as well, it's an optional add on that was really amazing to see. I loved this tour and would even do it again if I visit Memphis again in the future.

This is the 2nd time I've taken this tour. My 1st was with Memphis Jones in 2011 who was a great singer and very knowledgeable on Memphis history. This time a female singer took the tour, with the greatest of respect her choice of songs and singing ability were poor, at times I felt like I was in kindergarten. She did however share some interesting historical Memphis information, which was enjoyable. And the tour stopped by many interesting landmarks.

This tour is NOT your ordinary bus tour with a guide who is weary of his speech and his job. The mojo guide sings and plays a guitar skillfully. He is a consummate storyteller and quick to improvise when appropriate. We are older than dirt, but even when the guide told stories we knew, they seemed fresh again. We followed this tour with a visit to the Rock and Soul Museum, and it was a perfect pairing. The Museum experience built on themes already set by the bus tour. We would give it six stars if we could.
