| My wife and I had high expectations for the tour. We were not dissappointed. Our tour guide was Memphis Jones. When we saw him step on the bus I turned to my wife and said thank god, because hey, he has a reputation. If that's his real name, that's cool. If it's not, I get it, and you will too if you take the tour. I'm sure Memphis Jones has guided this tour a 1000 times , but he hasn't lost any passion for the City of Memphis. Some how he makes you as passionate and interested in the history of Memphis Music as he is. Memphis Music history just oozed out of this guy (sorry for the image). The only bad part about this tour is it ends, as all good things do. We had the sense that Memphis Jones could have gone on for days and not loose your attention for a moment. Heck, I started getting emotional about the whole tour. I found myself wanting to hang out with Memphis Jones on Beale St., but I didn't want him thinking I was stalking him. Seriously, you havn't seen Memphis unless you've seen it with Backbeat Tours, I hope all their guides are even close to this good. It was the highlight of our vacation, and we saw alot of what TN has to offer. We plan on returning to Memphis next year, and we''ll probably take the tour again, he's that good. |

| My husband and I could have spent all day on this bus. Memphis Jones was an amazing guide. A very talented man. His wealth of knowledge was incredible. He had a fantastic sense of humour. He got everyone on the bus involved, we all had an instrument to play. It was definitely a unique tour experience that you would be foolish to miss. I just can't say enough. |

| Memphis Jones did an excellent job as our tour guide around Memphis. He was a great singer and entertainer. He made the tour a lot of fun. I would definately recommend taking a tour if you're going to be in the Memphis area. I plan on taking another one of the tours the next time we are in town. |

| The tour guide was very friendly, giving a lot of Memphis history, while he was playing and singing a lot of rock & roll, jazz etc. music. We enjoyed the trip very much. The hour and a half went by very fast and we all had a great time singing along etc. If you like music and also want to get some history of Memphis on the way, I would highly recommend taking the tour. |

| My husband and I had a great time on the Memphis Mojo Tour: the Best of Memphis. Our tour guide "Memphis Jones" was very knowledgeable and a fun interactive entertainer. I am so glad we did this tour instead of the usual type of bus tour. I highly recommend this tour to all ages. FUN FUN FUN! |

| My daughter (13) and I took the Backbeat Tour on our first trip to Memphis and it was great! It was very informative and we had a fun time. Jake was our gude and he gave us a lot of "on the side" information as well entertained us with wonderful music. I didn't think my daughter liked it too much, but after all we did in Memphis, she said the tour was her favorite. We'd certainly do it again. |

| Dear Backbeat
Where do I start, well I fly out to Memphis last Friday for the weekend and had booked your Mojo tour over the Internet for the Saturday morning as I thought what a great way to see part of Memphis, learn about the history, see the sights, visit sun studio and have a musician singing and telling you about historical facts.
Wow, MEMPHIS JONES was and is amazing.
He Interacted with people so well, he had so much to tell and I loved it when he would start to tell us something and think of something else and then say we’re go back to that, it’s like there was just so much he wanted us all to know, he is such a great singer and so entertaining, funny and lively.
I just wished the tour had been much longer I’d have spent all day on the bus adsorbing Memphis Jones’s talent and knowledge this is one of my most enjoyable memories from my visit, one I will never forget and would so do this tour all over again. I was telling everyone I spoke to in Memphis to take the tour with you and to make sure Memphis Jones was the musician, telling them how much they would love it.
Thank you so much, an even bigger thank you to Memphis Jones and what ever you are paying him, it’s not enough.
Regards,
Teresa (From England) |

| I decided that this tour would be great for me - a HUGE music fan - and my teenage niece. We both had a great time, at the back of the bus, what became known as the "Party Box in the Back"!
Memphis Jones was truly a joy to ride along with. He knew his Memphis city history as well as his Memphis music history. That, and he is really talented.
We enjoyed every minute, and would definately recommend this tour to anyone looking to have a good time while seeing some historical sights of Memphis! |

| Great way to get a little Memphis flavor. Memphis Jones was very entertaining. He had a lot of tales of how R&B took hold in town and delivered that story with much enthusiasm. Do not miss this tour, most fun in Memphis. |
