T he Mojo Tour is the best way to see Memphis!
Thu, Mar 27, 08   2:30 PM lkgabrie Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Everyone in my group absolutely loved the tour. So much history and fun at the same time. It really was as they said, "A 9 hour tour packed into 90 minutes." If you love music, history, and fun, you MUST take this tour.

The most fun filled tour of my life!
Wed, Mar 26, 08   10:00 AM SJAguilar68 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I took the Hound Dog tour and the entertainment on the bus was phenomenal. I rode on the Miss Clawdy bus and Memphis Jones was an excellent tour guide. I recommend this tour especially to all Elvis fans who will appreciate it more. I learned so much more about Elvis' life that I'll remain a fan for life. I highly recommend Back Beat tours. I am planning to return to Memphis and take the other tours such as the Mojo tour from Back Beat.

GREAT Tour! Very unique way to see Memphis!

We loved our tour - mostly because of our very talented and quick-witted tour guide "Memphis Joe". He is a verbal genius and a fantastic musician!

The history of Memphis music in a nutshell
Sun, Mar 23, 08   2:30 PM memphis2008 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family and I enjoyed the tour very much. We especially liked learning about all of the different types of music that have their roots in Memphis. The tour guide was very interesting and funny! My seven-year-old daughter really loved playing music along with the tour guide. We got to see many neat sites of Memphis that we would not have been able to find on our own. We highly recommend this tour because it is fun for the whole family.

entertaining and informative
Sun, Mar 23, 08   2:30 PM jcchait Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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

LOTS OF FUN
Sat, Mar 22, 08   2:30 PM davegibbons Male 60-69 Combination Group of Friends
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!

Memphis Joe's knowledge of Memphis was good and his enthusiasm was great. Music was pretty good too.

Not bad, but could improve
Thu, Mar 20, 08   7:30 PM dghafford Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Overall, I thought it was a neat tour. The area I think that needs improvement is its sincerity. The tour guide was a decent enough fellow, but he kept breaking the fourth wall. By interjecting reality, or details of personal relationships not related to hauntings, the tour never establishes the proper mood. Without that mood, the tour stops being a ghost tour and becomes a history lesson. Both are fascinating, but a ghost tour should be more about the eerie & unexplained.

Tour Guide the GREATEST!
Sun, Mar 16, 08   10:00 AM njgaston Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Memphis Jones is one of the BEST tour guides I have ever experienced anywhere. He is a fabulous singer and knows Elvis's life forwards and backwards. I only wish the Hound Dog Tour included a stop at the Lauderdale Courts to see the inside of the apt. Elvis grew up in, instead of just pointing out the windows where he lived. This would have made the experience complete. I would have been happy to have paid a little more to see it, especially with such a knowledgeable guide with us. The tour of Sun Studios was fabulous also. I am very thankful that I took this tour and will do it again the next time. I am hoping the outdoor amphitheater on the zoo grounds will be complete so we can see firsthand where Elvis first performed before a live audience. Thanks for a great experience on my first Memphis trip!

Great time on the Memphis Mojo Tour
Sat, Mar 15, 08   2:30 PM jlpickard Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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!

Great and Courteous Tour Guide
Sun, Mar 9, 08   7:30 PM SUPRMNN Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
...there were a few ghost stories that drew my attention and intrigued me, but overall the tour was a little lack-luster....the tour guide was great and knowledgable about local history and hauntings and I appreciated his effort on this tour, but lacked a little in terms of what a haunted tour should be...( a little scary)....

Best tour we have ever gone on
Sat, Mar 8, 08   2:30 PM annmmay Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.

Backbeat Tours Packs a Punch!
Sat, Mar 1, 08   2:30 PM jacobs71 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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!!!

Memphis Jones is awesome!
Sat, Feb 23, 08   2:30 PM jwinning Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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!!
