Memphis - Home of the Only ELVIS - It was fun, informative and for first timers to Memphis a nice introduction to the city. A prelude to Graceland tour this day with the inclusion to Sun Records was a perfect prelude.

Great tour great guide - The tour was exceptional our tour guide Sam was very informative and knowledgeable about the city. We went to Beale st.,watched ducks at the Peabody hotel go to a fountain in the main lobby to swim and seen how they are treated like royalty. Seen the hotel where Martin Lother King was shot and killed. It is a tour I'm glad I didn't miss. Of you go on this tour ask for Sam you won't be disappointed.

Historic review. - They’ll probably find out certain details about Memphis that only the locals know such as the nickname for the Hernando Desoto bridge. There’s so much history in Memphis from the Civil War to civil rights that one will learn about on this tour. Michelle was an amazing tour guide.

More than expected - Our driver was fun, informative, and willing to ask questions and be asked questions. At first I thought it was going to be just typical, don't get off the bus, drive around and take pictures through the van windows kind of tour. But, turns out that we drive a bit, got out at some meet sights and had time to walk a bit. Totally recommend the Sun Studios tour, especially if you are any bit of a music fan. Very cool!!

Stranded in Memphis - The tour was okay! However, we needed to leave the tour early because our host was providing a tour of Graceland, the mansion! The driver left the members of the tour to have lunch, giving them an hour. We asked the driver to drive us back to the Guest House and he refused? He had an hour!! He forced us to call Lift to take us back to our hotel!! We are furious !!! The tour cost us $184 plus $10 for the Lift! I think we should get a refund for all the aggravation and extra expense the driver caused!!
