Must do if you are a foodie and want to learn about Memphis' history - Great experience, definitely recommend. Taylor was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. She took us to places and had us try things that we probably would have not encountered on our own, like Gumbo in Memphis - wow!

Great Beale Street Tour - Great stops on Beale Street. Peggy was a great guide. Learned some Memphis history and sampled many foods of the area. It was a relaxed and interactive tour. We were full by the end! Highly recommend doing at the beginning of your visit to find places to go to for a meal while in town. You will want to re-visit some for sure.

Highly Recommend - Excellent experience. Our guide Taylor was exceptional. She has immense knowledge of Memphis, and its food, history & culture. The tour offered a great variety of local cuisines & insight into Beale Street’s rich history. Taylor has a great rapport with the proprietors & staff. That made each of our stops hassle free & enjoyable. Our only regret is that we took the tour on our last day with limited time to return to our favorites.

Good food. Welcoming guide - This was an excellent experience. We enjoyed our tour guide. The food was honestly not too much to our liking, but it was nice to know how they eat in Memphis. There was a lot of variety we loved the fudge. We found the chicken was under seasoned and a bit dry. This is just feedback for the Tour Guide. But we really did love her. She was very sweet kind and taught us a lot about the city and the history. And that’s what we came for mostly.
