Good tour and entertaining. Good for overall city tour. On a bus so looking at sights goes by a little quickly. Add on sun studios as well for even better tour.

Davey Ray was a great tourguide and musician. He had great stories and made the tour fun. The tour is 90 minutes and you stay on the bus for the whole time. But it is worth it. Ideal for anyone who loves music and learning something new.

This was a brilliant way to learn the story of music in memory while comfortably sitting on the bus seeing the sights. Our guitarist has his own radio show ! He was funny and a great storyteller. This is the best trip to do in Memphis hands down and we had 3 generations of our family on bus.
