Very Interesting and entertaining tour

My group consisted of myself and my elderly parents and an aunt. All of us enjoyed the trip completely. There was a nice mixture of rock n roll, blues and memphis history that we would not seen or known if not for this trip. Our tour guy was great. Very informative, interacted with crowd, and gave interesting tidbits along the way. Just the right length and worth the money.

This was a wonderful way to visit downtown Memphis. The entertainment was great. My husband and I brought both our mothers on this tour (both 77 yrs. old) and this was the highlight of their Memphis trip.

This tour was so much fun! Our tour guide, Memphis Jones, kept the music rolling and provided us with lots of interesting stories about Memphis and it's famous musicians. We got a great overview of the city and were able to deside what we wanted to see more in depth. I would highly recommend this tour as the first stop on your itenerary.

Tons of fun, music, and history. In between all the singing and laughing, we learned so much about Memphis. Well worth the ticket price.

Memphis Jones is a great tour guide and an incredible musician. He delivered fascinating information about Memphis with humor and great insight. I just wish the tour had been longer. We had 8 and 9 year old kids with us who had a blast.

We can't speak highly enough of the BackBeat tour we did during our visit to Memphis. We had the most fun, hardly noticed that 90 minutes had passed, and aside from the fact that we had physically got off the bus to visit Sun studios, one could be forgiven for not noticing that we had left Beale St. Our guide, Memphis Jones, rocks - his knowledge was superb, his singing swiftly contagious and his personality simply wonderful. We have already told most of our friends about this tour, and will continue to do so. Awesome - don't change.

Mud Island - $10/person Graceland VIP Tour - $35/person Memphis Mojo Tour - Priceless!! Old or young, the Mojo Tour is worth the price of admission. Let loose and sing along to great music and learn a bunch about a cool city. I was skeptical before booking the tour, but our experience was on par with the other great reviews for these guys!

My church mission group of 7 women from Kansas City, MO took this tour and we had a ball! Memphis Jones was a great tour guide and very entertaining. He kept things lively and is a great singer! We were all so glad we decided to take this tour and recommend it to everyone!

A group of us went on tour in Dec with Memphis Jones serving as the entertainer and it was so much fun. He combined great musical abilities with his historical knowledge of Memphis music scene as well as other notable facts about Memphis. I took the tour again this past weekend and was disappointed because it was not nearly as informative or fun. I felt as if our guide was singing or playing for his own enjoyment rather than for his audience. He seemed to be compelled to sing every last note of a song when the time could have been spent playing/singing parts of a song and then sharing information. I learned so much more the first time and the whole atmoshpere was more upbeat when Memphis Jones led the tour. So my recommendation is whole-hearted if Memphis Jones is included. We were offered a choice of where to stop on the tour the first time but the past weekend it was decided for us. Unfortunate since almost everyone on the bus had already been to Sun Studios at least once. Also- we were not on the same bus. It seemed that the a/c did not work well so most of the time we were uncomfortably hot.
