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 ā€žtourist stuffā€œ). 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!

As a musician, sharing the rich musical heritage of Memphis and taking you to unique sites beyond the usual tourist spots is my passion.

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