Save your money and avoid this tour at all costs.
We booked the tour directly through the company last week and took the tour today (08/27) and wish we would've skipped it altogether. The tour was supposed to be 10 am to 1 pm. We didn't finish until 1:50 pm which was going to make us late for our next 2pm tour. Usually you would be excited to get more time, like an added bonus, but this was anything but the case. I booked this tour specifically because they had so many stops. Sadly, that was NOT the case. You just drive by, not even STOP, at SOME, of the locations advertised on their website, not even all of them. Some you can only see across the street out of a window on the OPPOSITE side of where you are seated. My husband saw the driver's sheet which stated 10-15 stops at each location, but we definitely did not have that privelage.
Out of 13 places listed, we were only allowed to get off at Peabody Hotel, Beale Street, and Bass Pro Shops pyramid. Aside from that, you're stuck in the shuttle the entire time while your driver Evelyn is speeding down the roads, hitting every pothole in sight, I was bouncing out of my seat at every turn. By far the ROUGHEST ride I've ever been on. The worst part, you start at the Blues City Tour office, then you go drop off people on another tour, then do a few stops, then pick up more people, for another type of tour, and it's just a bunch of people, doing different tours and stopping for countless drop offs and pick ups. I've been on several tours across the United States and nothing has disappointed me nearly as much as this one. Save your money. Find a different company or just go visit the places yourself, where you can actually get out and take photos at each stop advertised.

Hello, Sorry for your experience.
The places on our brochure and website for stops are Peabody, Beale Street, Welcome Center, Sun Studio (since St. Jude is not open to public). These are the only stops we make. I am not sure what stops you were expecting. I do apologize for the rough ride. I will speak with Evelyn regarding this. On our website and brochure, it states we do offer pick up and most hotels. Therefore, we have to take those guests back to their hotels, in which we picked them up from.
