Taylor made our Memphis food tour absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we met up, it was clear Taylor knew and loved this city — not just the food, but the history and stories behind every stop. Each bite came with context that made it taste even better, and Taylor’s enthusiasm was contagious. The pacing was perfect, the recommendations were spot-on for both classic Memphis staples and hidden local gems, and Taylor was happy to work around dietary preferences and answer a million questions along the way. It felt less like a tour and more like getting the insider scoop from a friend who happens to be a walking encyclopedia of Memphis food culture. If you’re visiting Memphis and want to eat well while actually understanding what makes the food scene special, ask for Taylor. Five stars, no hesitation!
Our tour guide Taylor, was incredibly knowledgeble about the history, food and people who built Beale Street. Her personal knowledge about BBQ was amazing.
Excellent Beale St. Tour. Amazing food. What's not to love? We particularly liked the history and tips shared. Booking this tour saved us $20 in cover charges with her secret tips!
Not only do you get to taste great food you get a great history lesson of Beale St. The knowledge of the tour guide was beyond awesome. She was super sweet and personable. Highly recommend!
If you do this food tour, go very hungry! There is a lot of food included in it and it’s a nice variety of food that is representative of Memphis. Taylor was our tour guide and was friendly and knowledgeable about all things Memphis. Also important to note that we had one in our party that has a nut and sesame allergy and one who is a vegetarian and it was no problem to accommodate either of them. This tour is a lot of fun and you can purchase alcohol if you’d like but sodas, teas and water are included. Our tour started at 2:00 and finished around 5:00 and we weren’t hungry again until mid morning the next day! If you’re in Memphis we’d recommend this food tour!
Our guide was very knowledgeable, the food was delicious and our tour mates were fun.
Taylor was great, super knowledgeable and fun. I wasn’t a fan of “Southern” food but I am now! A must adventure in Memphis.
Taylor was a great guide with a wealth of knowledge about Memphis and specifically Beale St. There wasn’t much walking required and the food was outstanding.
Great food and history as we walked the tour.
Taylor was excellent! She knew a lot about the area and the food. She had clearly done her research. All of the stops were perfect for getting to learn about Beale Street and the history there.
