Thought the trip was enjoyable but without the guy singing at the front of the bus the trip it would have been dire. Viewing from the front of the bus is very limited there is like a big headboard at your eyeline sight that you can’t see out of the front window! There was No opportunity for any photos to be taken and places of interest that were on the opposite side of the bus to where you were sitting couldn’t be seen. So we just sat and enjoyed the guy’s stories and music. Taking some photos though would have been really memorable I thought it was reasonably priced considering it was for 2 trips. But really think the singer should be paid a wage and not just having to rely on tips on the price we paid tbh! The 2nd part of the tour was ok though we had to wait over 45 minutes for our time slot. The guide who showed us around the studio was very knowledgable who again said his income was directly from tips only.

Andrew was a great guide and musician. We loved Overton Park and Shell. We were given a great deal of information about Memphis, the music history, current and past highlights

This was an entertaining bus tour making it much easier for us to see the sites we wanted to see without a car. Having live music from our guide was a nice bonus.

Jane_D

loved the singer and all the info about Memphis, very fun and knowledgeable. Sun Records studio tour was very crowded, but the tour guide was very good.

I love excursions that are different from the run-of-the-mill tour and this one definitely delivered! You will not be sorry with this one, especially if Sara is your guide. And you can't beat the price. You get more than what you pay for.

David_K

The tour guide was very enthusiastic and entertaining. He was very knowledgeable with the subject matter.

I thought the guide and driver were great. My 17 yr old was with us and she didn’t like it so much (generational reasons :) ) but was great for my husband and I

Davey Ray ‘s storytelling and musical abilities are outstanding and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour! Water or other drinks are allowed, and the sound system is perfect to hear without overpowering us! Princess and Eddie were fun, cool bonuses to the experience.
