| This was a great tour opportunity and value for the money. The bus was fun to ride in and the entertainer singing Elvis songs certainly put us in the mood for Graceland. The singer provided lots of additional tidbits of information on Elvis during the ride also. I would highly recommend this for anyone. It was nice not to have to drive in an unfamiliar city and then dropped right back off at Beale Street where we could continue to party. I would certainly use the Backbeat Tours again. |

| The minute you step aboard the Backbeat bus, you know this is not your ordinary transport to Graceland. We were greeted by a very talented guitar player and handed tambourines. As we rolled down Beale Street, the music began and for the duration of the trip, we enjoyed our favorite Elvis tunes and listened to the story of Elvis' early days in music. It was the most enjoyable way to get to Graceland. Quite frankly, I was sorry when we arrived and was the very last one off the bus!. We had about three hours to spend at Graceland, which was just the right amount of time to see the property and the shops. Thank you to Backbeat Tours for an excellent tour and a really great time. |

| We wanted something fun and different for our grandchildren so they would have a memorable experience. We had a 15, 10 , and 8 year old. So, we had quite an age group to please. Even the 15 year old thought it was "real cool." They all loved playing the instruments along with the songs. The singer on the bus was very talented and told some great stories also. Even though we had the choice to use a tour company that would have picked us up at the hotel, we opted for this tour because of the good reviews on TripAdvisor.com. We were so glad we did. We only had to walk a few blocks to Beale St. to catch the tour bus. |

| We did not have a rental car for that day and this was a perfect way to get to Graceland and back. The musician was entertining, the driver was very informed and fun. Would definitely recommend. Cool restored bus took me back to childhood in downtown Denver. |

| I fully enjoyed the tour that Backbeat Tours provides to Graceland. I knew that if we had gone to Graceland on our own, it would have cost considerably more to park, take the tour and eat while we were there. The tour guide not only made the bus ride over to Graceland from Beale Street enjoyable, but we all sang and played instruments as his personal rhythm section...WHAT FUN!
I would recommend Backbeat Tours to anyone visiting Memphis. |

| The bus is unique, comfortable, left on time and a great way to travel to Graceland. The highlight of the entire trip might be getting to spend time with "Memphis Jones" who is as talented as he is fun!
Overall a wonderful experience and one I would recommend to anyone I know travelling to the area. The only small criticism I might have is that the bus was rather late picking us up at the end of the tour and it was quite cold waiting outside at the pick up point. |

| This is the ONLY way to visit Graceland! Although we were a small group, our extremely talented guide--Memphis Jones--enthusiastically entertained us with great Elvis songs and stories and facts about Elvis and some of the things we were going to see. My friends and I were celebrating my 60th birthday and my first visit to Graceland. The bus tour made it a very memorable day! Although I was anxious to see Graceland, I wished the ride had been longer as it was so much fun. We visited the Arcade Restaurant the following day and tried the sweet potato pancakes Mr. Jones recommended--awesome!!
We would have loved to have taken another tour but none were available the weekend we were in Memphis.
Thanks to everyone involved. |

| This Tour is a great way to see Graceland. I didn't catch our guide's name, I wish I had, he wasn't the infamous Memphis Jones, but he was an excellent tour guide in his own right. He was very knowledgible of Memphis music history and pointed out points of interest from Beale St. to Graceland that we would have not even noticed had we not taken the tour. He was also a great musician and got the whole bus involved. Highly reccomend this and the Mojo Tour. |
