Highly recommended for everyone whether an Elvis fan or not. Our tour guide was enthusiastic, well- informed, and clearly a music-lover. Museum-quality displays came to life when snippets of the relevant tunes were played. Go just to hear a sample of the recording of The Million Dollar Quartet- something I doubt could be heard anywhere else. A must see!

Christopher_J

It was awesome. So much history. Rock and Roll was born here. No big deal. I loved all the international travelers in the group.

Mariaalejandra_S

The guide didn't pay attention to us the entire trip. She talked a lot with some of us but she didn't even look at us. We left her a tip that she didn't deserve and she didn't even say thank you... the truth is, being the face of the tour is not very pleasant.

Michelle was our tour guide and she was so knowledgeable about the history of Memphis. Great tour! If you want to know the history of Memphis, this is a great tour!

Ian_M

Very good tour with a very informative driver. Downside was wasting over 30 mins to watch some ducks enter a fountain. I felt that the time would have been greater spent at the Lorraine hotel where something much more important happened, no matter how old the duck march is.

Angela_P

Fabulous tour guide, very knowledgeable, good sense of humour. Great to hear all about the history and finish off at the iconic Sun studios.

Lorri_G

Miss Michelle was an amazing tour guide! She made the experience informative, memorable, and extremely enjoyable!

We could not understand our driver/narrator, Michele, much at all. Either she doesn't know how to use her microphone (as it all came over as a screeching sound) or she needs a new microphone. I am a native speaker. There were others on our bus that were from England and they were totally lost. I felt embarrassed about the whole situation. Memphis is a road construction and traffic zoo. It was an unexpected headache to have to have all of the twists and turns. Not enjoyable at all. Finally, concerned about the overall safely and cleanliness of downtown Memphis. Glad to get out!

The tour guide was informative & had good local knowledge. They kept to time & gave clear information about meeting points & times etc.

Fun, informative tour with tour guide Michelle - she kept us laughing! Sun Studio was a very interesting place to visit for fans of blues/R&R history, definitely worth the $$.
