Good Time in Memphis
Sat, Oct 11, 08   10:00 AM brindle Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Best Tour We Have Ever Taken
Sat, Oct 11, 08   10:00 AM KarenFreeman Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Thoroughly enjoyed Memphis Jones, his enthusiasm, knowledge and muscial ability made this tour the best we have ever been on and we have traveled the world! We took it at 10:00 am and by 10:05 the bus was roaring! His recommendation to tour the Stax Museum was right on, we immediately left and went and what a day we had in Memphis. I would do it again if we ever return to Memphis. Alan & Karen Freeman San Diego, CA

Ghost Tour Disappointing

There wasn't much to it - nothing scary or supernatural like.

A Pleasant Distraction

This was good, clean fun for a Saturday night. Nice for a group of friends. Not very exciting but a pleasant distraction.

Fun and different activity
Fri, Oct 10, 08   7:30 PM waneyvant1 Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
the guide was animated and fun and had a great deal of patience with a drunk female in the group, who insisted on interrupting him i felt our group (i think there were 20) was a little large to hear well, and had to kind of jockey to get close to the guide he was very well informed and had an excellent sense of humor, quick on his feet the only thing i would change is not having the initial talk in front of the kiosk, as there is a loudspeaker there that plays music from inside the club; we could not hear a word he was saying

Great Tour
Fri, Oct 10, 08   2:30 PM carolmrapp Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
when I suggested that we sign up for the tour as part of our girls weekend trip, which we take every Oct.. I had some mixed reviews from one of the girls. She eventually agreed to do it, since the rest of the group thought that it was a good idea. I was worried because when your in charge of putting a weekend like this together, you want everyone to have a really good time. As we started the tour, we could tell right away that it was going to be a good tour. Our tour guide was wonderful. I apologize that I can't remember his name. He was fun, informative, and the tour was very interesting. When we got off the bus, the girl who was reluctant to do the tour (Cathy) gave me the biggest hug and thanked me for booking it. She said that the tour was the highlight of the trip. We will be suggesting the tour to all who visits Memphis. We all can't wait to bring our husbands down to do the tour again. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

Elderly/handicap beware
Thu, Oct 9, 08   7:30 PM 01oldlady Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Overall the stories were cute, but group was large and sometimes it was hard to hear. However no consideration was given to senior citizens with difficulty keeping up. They flew and I had my mother who has some minor difficulty getting around. Also when we went to basement no consideration was given that 5 people could not come down the steep steps for various health/handicap reasons. A simple version could have been repeated for them as they also paid the $$$$$$$$. Really enjoyed the storyteller from the last location - inhouse chef, he was VERY entertaining.

Good but
Sat, Oct 4, 08   7:30 PM GardenGoyl Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I thought it was a good tour but I have done better in Alton Ill & St Augustine Florida. I felt it was more like a history tour even thou our guild was entertaining! I like his presentation but felt it was pretty short for the cost. I know Memphis has alot more to offer and felt that it was not included in the tour. With all the civil war history ... many other occurances over the years. The tour felt lacking.

the mojo tour was great. we had an awesome tour guide and got to see the hidden gems of memphis. word to the wise, take the tour when you first get to the city. you'll find all sorts of things to do when you're not on a schedule.

Joyful and interesting experience
Fri, Oct 3, 08   2:30 PM JOHANNEDO Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Very good tour. It gives a detailed idea of the interests of Memphis. I would have preferred the Hound Dog Tour, because we were doing an Elvis Presley pilgrimage.

Nice "dark" tour of memphis
Thu, Oct 2, 08   7:30 PM Medic56 Male 20-29 Combination Other
We had Jessica as our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and had actually gone into many of the places to do research. It was very interesting to hear some of the darker history of Memphis you may not get with history tours.

Overall, very good
Sun, Sep 28, 08   7:30 PM jgilmore7 Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
The tour was fun, although the other two members of my group and I had some issues with the inclusion of the Gayoso apartment. First of all, the information was incorrect. The murder was in 2003 (not 1998, as stated on the tour) and the murder was solved shortly after (we were told that it was never solved). Secondly, that story was a little too scary, especially since we were told that it was family friendly. Overall, the tour was interesting and fun and I would recommend it, although after noticing the incorrect facts mentioned above, it was hard to believe the rest of the information.

I enjoyed this tour. The tour guide was very informative, and made it fun. I found out things about downtown that I didn't know.
