Five Stars - Awesome tour with Michelle! She was friendly, funny & gave so many details about the history of Memphis. It was obvious she loved her job & she made us fall in love with Memphis. Even though we only stopped 3 times (visitor’s center, Peabody Hotel & Sun Studio) we learned so much. Highly recommend this tour & Michelle!!

Sun Studio - The presenter's awesome review of the studio's history.. The chance to take a picture with the microphone used by the million dollar club. The story of the DJ and the chance to review the broadcast studio where he would smash records he did not like.

Touring Memphis - The city tour was excellent and so was the Sun Studio tour! We had a very pleasant & knowledgeable tour guide (Sam).
We were even picked up from and dropped off at our hotel, the Guesthouse at Graceland for the tour. We had some great BBQ ribs at BB Kings on Beale Street.
The tour was awesome and well worth it.

Memphis City Tour. - This was a great tour complimented by our tour guide Sam throughout and the gentleman at Sun Studios. The tour had many different interests for a 65 year old and 16 year old.

Your bus was on time,... - Your bus was on time, efficient and the driver had a wealth of knowledge. Sun Studio was well worth visiting as was The National Civil Rights Museum and St. Jude’s Hospital which we passed by.

A good tour in a not good city - This seemed to be a very thorough tour of the city. Our guide, Darrel, was knowledgeable and entertaining. On a somber note, we were touring on the anniversary of MLK’s assassination so our drive by the Lorraine Motel was somber. The Sun Studio tour was interesting and we had a very energetic guide, but the tour was crowded. We had a much better experience touring the studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Unfortunately the thing that struck us most is that Memphis is not a good looking city. It’s definitely gloomy and it most decidedly feels unsafe. If you are on the fence, spend your time elsewhere.

Go if you like to kill time - Frankly, a good portion of this tour was boring. We drove around in circles, covering a small portion of downtown Memphis, seemingly killing time, waiting for a main attraction that never materialized. Of the two highlights, only the Sun Studio tour was interesting. The Peabody duck march was so crowded that we couldn't even see the ducks. Our guide Darryl was fun and good hearted and tried his level best to make lemonade out of lemons.
