If you really love music (especially Blues and Rock n Roll) take this tour! It is a great experience! The guide Brandon, a musician himself, has a vast knowledge about Memphis and the sites to go to (not the normal „tourist stuff“). At the beginning of the tour you are asked about your preferences and Brandon tailors a special tour for you. I really enjoyed it! Keep up the great work Brandon! I will be back with my wife next time - I promise!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the focus on Blues and Rock 'n' Roll. As a musician, sharing the rich musical heritage of Memphis and taking you to unique sites beyond the usual tourist spots is my passion. Tailoring the tour to your preferences makes it even more special, and I'm glad you had a great experience. I look forward to welcoming you and your wife next time for another memorable adventure! Thank you for choosing Rock 'n' Roll Tours. Best regards, Brandon Cunning, Rock 'n' Roll Tours.

Brandon gave us a lot of detailed information on different places of Memphis Beal Street area during the walking tour. As big Rock‘n‘Roll and Elvis fans we learned many new things and had loads of fun too. Highly recommended!
