Brandon gave us a lot of detailed information on different places of Memphis Beal Street area during the walking tour. As big Rock‘n‘Roll and Elvis fans we learned many new things and had loads of fun too. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide, Brandon, was amazing. Our Memphis rock n’ soul tour exceeded our expectations! Brandon had tons of tidbits of trivia about Memphis gangsters, music/musicians and historical events. We could not have asked for me. We highly recommend this tour for all, as Brandon will tailor your tour to your interests.
