Great way to safely see the city. No need to drive anywhere because they pick you up right at your hotel.
I think you get better pictures sitting on the right side of the bus. Very informative and a fun trip.
Michelle our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging! Great tour!
Michelle the tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun. It was great viewing and learning about the history of Memphis through her. It gave me a better appreciation for the city, it's culture and music. My husband and I took the tour with the Peabody ducks and Sun Studios, and before we knew it, the time passed by quickly. I cannot stress enough that everyone needs to take this tour, especially if you have Michelle as your guide. Thank you for making our first visit to Memphis so memorable and enjoyable.
This tour exceeded our expectations! We only had one full day in Memphis so we chose this tour to get the most out of our time. It hit all the highlights of this beautiful city. Our driver/guide Sam was so funny and knowledgeable. And you could tell he loved sharing his city with visitors. We did the Sun Studio tour add in and that was also a highlight of the day. So much history!
you get to see a lot of sites but the tour could of been shorter. I feel like we were going in circles and I kept seeing the same stuff. Loved the visit to Sun Studios. Would have liked to have stopped at the civil rights museum and. not stopped to see the ducks.
Sam was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Really enjoyed the tour!
Tour driver very knowledgeable and informative. Steps to Sun Studio second floor can make that tour difficult for anyone with limited mobility.
This tour was a fascinating tour giving us great history of the places that we drove by. It was certainly a great way to get around and driver was very knowledgeable and very happy to answer any questions we may have had. He also advised us of what to look for at our stops, gave us clear instructions on what time we needed to be back ready to continue on with the tour.
Amazing experience at Sun Studio! Lydia was a fantastic tour guide — knowledgeable, friendly and full of great stories. Seeing Elvis’s microphone was a real highlight and made the visit unforgettable. Highly recommend!
