Backbeat Tours

This was a pretty good tour, although I think the price was slightly high. The tour provides a "guide" who is supposed to entertain you with comedic remarks, and who uses singing as part of the sight descriptions. This sounded fun to us, so we booked it. How in the world did we end up with a tour guide who could not sing??? His bad voice, in addition to some pretty lame jokes, made for a not so-entertaining tour. We did, however, see some interesting sights that we didn't know existed from sightseeing in previous years.

all 6 people in our group enjoyed the tour

Areallly nice, laid-back tour - the tour guide gave us a lot of interesting details about rock and soul atists and the locations we passed by - he also provided enternainment by singing to his own guitar accompaniment - plus audience participation if you wanted to... all great. Good Value for money too.

tour guide, Mary Kay was great

Mary Kay is a great tour guide. She is friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and makes the tour fun.

I loved the Ghost Tour. Our tour guide (I think her name was Cathy (I'm sorry)) was so informative and so much fun to talk too. Even if you don't believe in ghost just hearing some of the history of Memphis was interesting. We had a small group so she was able to answer any question you poppedd off right away. I highly recommend this tour and don't forget to tip her (or him). They do this all the time and are still able to tell a story like it is their first time. Loved it!

had a case of the stomach flu and couldn't attend.. will only try again if tickets are avalable the same day..the fact you have to order in advance with no refund or exchanges availble..i won't buy again except on the day of the event John Hogan

A lot of fun and recommend this to everyone at all ages. Very knowledgeable and entertainging. A must in Memphis.

We just returned from Memphis and enjoyed our tour greatly. You meet right on Beale in front of Blues City Cafe. Check in, then across the street to the bus. You might be asked to play a tambourine or shake an egg like plastic thing to make noise. We had a lady guitarist and she was very good mixing history and places of interest along with music. We saw where Elvis like in the projects, where Johnny Cash lived just to name a few things. I don't think you will be disappointed. It is certainly a good way to see outside of downtown and something that is different.

Had a great time with a lively and friendly musician that served as our personal tour guide around Memphis. Saw many great sights and got some great insights about the early days of blues and rock and roll. The 2 hour tour is easy to work in most schedules and well worth the time. One of our highlights when visiting Memphis.

We had a ball touring Memphis with Daniel Sage. What a personable young fellow. Lots of talent too. Of course, the rhythm section (that was the tour group) made all the difference. We enjoyed seeing the sights around the City and for us one of the highlights was the tour of Sun Studios. We sang and laughed the whole time. I would recommend this tour very highly to anyone interested in a unique tour of Memphis.

Absolutely amazing tour. By the end, we were wishing it could have lasted all day. Our tour guide was a 20 yr. old scrappy singer that kept the energy up and the history of the city flowing. If you're not sure of where to start your Memphis tour, this is "THE PLACE". I thought I knew a bit about the history of the city, but the insights and stories were fantastic.

This bus tour was good fun, and an very informative introduction to the history of music in Memphis. It covers a lot of interesting detail on people and places. We loved the old bus, which was very comfortable. The organisation seemed a little haphazard, but in practice everything worked out well. We would strongly recommend the extended tour to include the Sun Studios timed tour.

The tour guide was very friendly and enthusiastic. She was also very knowledgeable, and she let us take time at each stop to take pictures and discuss what we saw in them. Over all very worth while

I am not a believer & took the tour for my daughter. I was very impressed with the tour guide... she did a wonderful job. My daughter LOVED her!!! Said that the tour guide was very knowledgeable & liked how she conducted the tour. Only thing I would recommend... double check about taking a coctail out on the tour with you. I purchased a $15 souvenir drink, had about 3 drinks when the tour started & had to throw it away. The police would not let me take it off of Beale Street. Therefore, that was $15 basically flushed down the toilet!!
