Backbeat Tours

Our "Hound Dog" Tour was incredible! Our tour guide, Kathryn, sang and played Elvis songs with her guitar, and we accompanied her with backup instruments. Great fun! She had a wealth of knowledge about the Memphis Elvis knew and grew to love, and we all loved the tour of Sun Studios. A really fun and educational tour of the King's Memphis.

When we signed up for the Memphis Moho tour we had no idea that we would learn so much about the music that originated in Memphis. We really enjoyed the tour guide who played the guitar and sang songs. By doing this, we were able to recognize songs and learn a lot about who, when were they were originated and some interesting facts. I have been on many tours in many cities and this one was the most original and most interesting. Everyone in my family learned a lot and had a much richer experience in Memphis. I would strongly recommend this tour

This tour was a great way to learn about Memphis blues & rock & roll history. It was fun being interactive with the singer / tour guide. We all had a great time and the bus was cool and comfortable. I'd even do it again because it was so much fun.

We did the Memphis Mojo Tour, bus was comfortable not crowded and so much fun. Our guide was very informative about the area and we enjoyed his music. Even though we didn't stop anywhere that we could get off the bus the guide told us enough about each area we were able to decide from his descriptions which places we wanted to go back to on our own to spend more time. - Pam Lavender

One of the most entertaining and informative tours we have been on. Instead of dry facts the singing guitar playing tour guide was a pleasant twist.

We really enjoyed our Back Beat Tour. The guide was very talented and we had fun singing and playing with him, but beyond that, his recounting of the Blues and Rock and Roll history in Memphis was very informative and fascinating. He did a great job keeping things moving and made sure we were having a good time.

Touring from England, UK We booked the trip as we would be riding on a 50's bus. The day of our trip, a bus had broken down, so we were on a small bus. A 50's bus was being used on another trip, which was following ours! My husband enjoyed the trip, even though he was disappointed about the bus. I was bored.

My brothers were visiting Memphis fort he first time and my husband and I just moved here, so we thought this would be a fun way to see the city. It absolutely was and I totally recommend it. Our only complaint was that it's very focused on the music side of things and didn't offer much other history/stats on Memphis.

My mother-in-law and I took this tour last week when we were in Memphis, and were somewhat dissappointed. It had the potential to be a really interesting tour, but the woman who lead us around wasn't any good. While a nice woman, she had dismal story-telling skills and was easily distracted. With someone ele leading the tour, it would have been a great night! So, while I do recommend this tour, I suggest you ask for Memphis Jones, who took us on the Historic Tour the next morning. He loves his town, loves the music and can actually tell a story in a thrilling and interesting way!

My son and I had a great time on this tour. Memphis Jones was a wonderful guide.

I have to say that when I first got on the bus I was reluctant but once the tour started and the guide (Memphis Jones) started his entertaining, it was a blast. Memphis Jones was very knowledgable of Memphis and the history of the city. It was definitely the highlight of my vacation. Couldn't have asked for a better time.

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.

What a fantastic tour! Great fun, well paced, and not only did we learn a lot about the social and musical history of Memphis, the brilliant Memphis Jones with his singing and guitar playing made sure we really felt a part of the Memphis community. We'd highly recommend this tour to people of all ages, particularly music lovers.

We received much information about our favorite music and performers! We greatly enjoyed our tour, thanks again.

Fun and interesting, great staff.
