Our tour guide, Brandon, was amazing. Our Memphis rock n’ soul tour exceeded our expectations! Brandon had tons of tidbits of trivia about Memphis gangsters, music/musicians and historical events. We could not have asked for me. We highly recommend this tour for all, as Brandon will tailor your tour to your interests.
