Fun Facts With a Side of Tunes - Cecile will make you laugh and sing - he is pure joy and happiness. His enthusiasm for music is contagious. The hometown stories he tells are hilarious and fascinating. He truly loves what he does and we were so grateful to meet him on this tour. A great way to comfortably see the city through a local's eyes. Thank you Cecile you are a gem never to be forgotten. Thank you as well to our phenomenal driver Michael for getting us around safely and for the wonderful barbecue recommendations.

An afternoon of Facts, Fun and sing-a-long! - We had a great afternoon on the Mojo Tour. Andrew ,our guide , was very knowledgeable about the area and the music. He was very talented on guitar, too! We all sang along on most of the songs. Having the music that goes along with the ride really added to the fun. I highly recommend this tour to all music/music history lovers.

Memphis Mojo Musical Bus Tour - The Mojo Musical Bus Tour of Memphis is awesome. The stories shared enhanced by his guitar and singing from our tour guide musician were most interesting. We learned much about both the musical and cultural history of Memphis. We, also, recommend
adding the Sun Studio Tour if possible. Book now! You won’t regret it!

Average Taxi ride around some sites, good singing - Singing was good. But it was really more of a taxi ride around some of the sites of Memphis with comments on the history of the sites. The Air conditioning on the bus was poor.
