| This was great and well worth the fee. Highly recommend. The only regret was it was too short a time even tho it was almost two hours. We could have listened to narrator for hours on Memphis history. He was really fantastic. |

| The tour was very informative. The tour guide, Memphis Jones, was very enthusiastic, knew a great deal of information and sang great tunes. Whatever he is paid is not enough. It is a great way to learn about the city and Memphis Jones is a great ambassador. |

| We enjoyed the tour very much. It was a very entertaining, informative way to become familiar with Memphis. We are now aware of more attractions that are available in Memphis. After the tour, we stayed 2 nights with relatives in Memphis, we recommended the the tour to them, I hope they take the tour & recommend it to friends & other family |

| This tour was nothing like other tours we've taken. The whole bus was rocking and rolling while we sang our way through Memphis and played instruments to accompany our tour guide, Memphis Jones. Our tour guide was a great guitar player and singer and had a true passion for the history of Memphis. We felt we heard many personal details of the music of Memphis that we wouldn't have heard on a traditional tour. This was so much fun and we would highly recommend it to others. And on top of that the price was reasonable for the time spent. We had a ball! |

| Our group of 4 adults and 5 children between the ages of 5 and 15 went on the Memphis Mojo Tour last weekend, all I can say is from the minute we entered Miss Clawdy (the bus) we knew we had made a great decision. The energy, talent, and knowlege of Memphis Jones made this tour a fantastic, one of a kind experience. Without a doubt I would highley recommend Backbeat tours as a great way to see and learn more about Memphis Music, where it all started! |

| Booked the tour via internet because it sounds interesting and I didn't know where to go in Memphis. Could do this by our own, but it's a long work and for sure we will miss some interesting places. So we went at 10 a.m. to the bus at Beale Street. Not much people there but they start the tour nevertheless with full enthusiasm.
First they give us some music instruments telling that we are part of the tour. I never had so much fun on a sightseeing tour. I actually was part of the tour and more: I felt like a part of Memphis.
The tour guide ("Memphis Jones") was like an almanach of all the interesting things happend in Memphis. For every little story he knows he sings a song. Tremendous job! Carry on, Memphis Jones!
There was a new bus driver, who misses the way in two situation, but it was our luck! Memphis Jones thanked him for taking a detour, and on this additional way we saw and heard even more storys. Memphis Jones told us, that we became a very special tour. It was pure fun.
If I would come another time to Memphis, I definitively would take a tour by backbeat tours, I can tell you.
So, thank you so much for the nice day and all the informations you gave us, it blew my mind. It was the best sightseeing tour I ever made!
Take care

| We loved this tour! Our tour leader, forgot his name, was informative and entertaining. I only wish that we could have stopped at the STAX museum instead of just driving by. |
