Backbeat Tours

The tour guide was great fun.

It was great. The guides were awesome. If you like a good ghost story, this is definitely a must.

IWe would have enjoyed it a lot more if we were able to get off and explore instead of listening to stories and some music .

Nancy Apple not only sings and plays but provides a wealth of fun and interesting background information about Memphis and its role in the development and evolution of American R and B and Rock and Roll. Without the tour we would have thought Memphis a much less significant place. If you miss this tour you may well miss the point about Memphis.

Great music history tour with entertainment!

Ages 48, 54, 70, 73 we all had a blast...informative, entertaining, comedic all in one. We would recommend this tour to anyone

Tour was very informative and tour guide was a young girl who sang some wonderful songs very well.

Our guide was very knowledgable on the tour and she has a wonderful voice.

Never been on a tour like this before and I loved it. Our guide, Kathryn was so sweet and enthusiastic about showing us around memphis using music and stories. Priced very reasonably Enjoyed joining in with the music with the little shakers we were given

We loved this tour. We were really glad we did the extended tour to see Sun Studio. The only downside was we did not have time to look in the gift shop there. We were still trying to get pictures in the recording studio and they came in and told us the bus was waiting on us. Our tour guide was Kathryn Brawley and she was absolutely awesome! Great voice and personality!

We throughly enjoyed the tour of Graceland. The bus driver & tour guide were both great. The only down side was that there were alot of groups who arrived at the same time we did so we were in line for 30 or 40 minutes just to get on the shuttle to Graceland. That was not taken into consideration by our tour provider so we felt like we "lost" some time due to that. We missed a few of the exhibits beacuse we had to meet the bus back at a specified time. If we had the extra time we "lost" we would have been able to see everything included in the tour. I understand they are on a schedule but those tours are not cheap and we would have liked to have seen all of the exhibits available. We certainly couldn't afford to take the tour twice or take a taxi back to the downtown area where we were staying to be able to see all exhibits offered and included in the tour price.

Camera opportunities were poor ie out of the bus window , with glass flashback .one photo stop outside of the bus was a fluke by virtue of a customer wanting the toilet !! .The young gentleman singing was more preoccupied with his singing on beale street ie catch me here and tip me .My father needed a toilet stop and my friend who stayed behind was told why he had to go right at that moment , has he could have waited till the sun studio .well pardon my father for having a prostrate problem , he did well to hold on has he did , and nothing was said for the previous stop when the guide also alighted the bus .Had i known their would be no photo stops outside of the bus i would have not booked .The poor excuse of time proferred by the guide was poor , in liverpool the magical mystery beatles tours are time constrained but their is an outside photo shot at every relevant stop .you could do well to learn from the way they are operated.

We thoroughly enjoyed the overview of the city punctuated by music from our tour guide. Katheryn was engaging and knowledgeable about Memphis. This is a great tour to take. We added the Sun Records tour to our day and enjoyed it too. We will certainly tell our friends and family.

The tour leader provided a great atmosphere. He was well informed and a good singer who prompted group participation. We saw the sights of meemphis that we would not have ordinarily seen by ourselves.

Brandon our guide was fantastic ! Talented musician as well as informative. Fun and interactive. Brandon kept us all entertained and engaged.We learnt a lot of history from this tour and I would highly recommend this tour to all who are visiting Memphis.
