We loved it. So many good stories (and songs). We learned a lot and laughed a lot. One note . . . would have loved to actually stop at Sun Studios, we only drove by.

Husband and I flew into Memphis and took the tour within hours of landing. What a great way to get acquainted with the city. The history, music and jokes were all very entertaining and enjoyable. Take the tour!

This tour was super fun and informative. Our musician Eric had a great sense of humor, was very knowledgeable about Memphis and its musical history and entertained us with his own music. We added on the tour of Sun Studio's which I highly recommend-especially if you are a fan of Elvis, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis< Johnny Cash and many many more. Gave me the goosebumps just to be in the same space. Bus is comfortable and you can bring drinks! Get the Flamingo drink at Alfreds (convenient as this is where you are picked up.)
