| Entertaining and knowlegeable tour guide. I do wonder if he embellished a bit on some of the stories he told about Memphis, however it did not matter. Learned alot and had a great time. Music a bonus, not something you ordinarly get on a tour |

| What a delightful way to spend an afternoon in Memphis and learn a lot about the music of Memphis and environs and its origins. Our on-board guide and one man entertainment section was fantastic. Have fun! |

| We took the tour on Saturday, March 15th. Our tour guide was Nora and she was very friendly and gave an informative and interesting tour. We learned a lot about Memphis music history and she had some great Elvis information too.
I would recommend doing Graceland and Sun Studios first for more in depth information and then on the next day or the day after, I would definitely recommend taking the Memphis Mojo tour to fill in some of the extra tidbits to add onto what we already knew.
It was fun being on the old Miss Clawdy bus and I felt that it also gave you a feeling that you were reliving a part of history.
Thanks for a great tour! |

| My husband and I took our grandaughter, age 14, to Memphis to see Graceland and tour Memphis. We selected the MoJo Tour because it was riding on Miss Claudie and was a history of music. My husband said that this was the best tour he had ever been on and so did my grandaughter. She loved it and so did I. The tour guide, Memphis Jones, was great!!!! He knew his music history and he was an excellent entertainer. He could really play his guitar and he has a great voice. We wholeheartily recommend it to all age groups from seniors to teenagers. If we get back to Memphis, we are going to do it again. |

| If you like live music, comedy and things that are off the "beaten path," then you will love the Memphis "Mojo" tour.
Let me just say that Mr. Memphis Jones our tour guide MADE the tour. He combined jokes, history and his wonderful talent both vocally and on the guitar to make the 90 minutes we spent with him a blast.
Thank you Memphis!!! |

| My girlfriends and I were celebrating our 35th birthdays in Memphis and thought we'd take the backbeat bus tour. It was one of the highlights of our whole trip, singing along with Memphis Jones and playing our instruments, while learning the secrets behind Memphis' music scene. If we go back, we will definitely do this tour again just for the fun!! |

| My husband and I truly enjoyed this tour. It was fun, entertaining, and full of great information and music. The guide was outstanding...top notch. He was very knowledgeable and made sure to include others into the conversation. The 90 minute tour flies by and it puts you into a great Memphis mood. I would highly recommend this tour. |
