Backbeat Tours

Tour leader, Gary Hardy , takes you on a musical tour of the Memphis with a great voice and enthusiasm. He knows the history of the industry having been in it for years and his love of the music shines through. I read the reviews on trip adviser before I left on my tour from New Zealand, and booked then and was so glad I did as this really was atour with a real difference and made Memphis come to life,.

Great history lesson on Memphis and very intetarining

Brandon, our tour guide was very informative and kept the tour interesting. If you like being able to participate as a group in sing alongs and have fun doing it, this tour is for you. Oh, and I can't forget about Howard, the bus driver, he is very good at getting that bus where it needed to be. Great Fun, if you are going to Memphis, TAKE THIS TOUR.

This was one of the most enjoyable tour experiences we've ever been on! Our guide, "Memphis" Jones, was outstanding! We'd heard him playing at BB Kings the night before and his knowledge and passion for the Blues came through loud and clear throughout the tour! We learned so much, and came to appreciate Memphis' place in the history of music. We can hardly wait to go back! If you do nothing else in Memphis, take this tour!

Our tour with Brandon was excellent! The day started out with a foggy overlook of the city from the roof of the Madison Hotel, but the tour can't control the weather and the pictures I took actually turned out great! Never let the weather stop you from taking pictures because quite often you get great pictures in the rain or fog. We'd spent the entire previous day in the car driving to Memphis so the walking tour was a welcome break and change of pace. We met some wonderful new people on the tour took about 150 pictures. We took this walking tour in the morning and then followed it up with the Mojo bus tour, BOTH were outstanding!

Jo was wonderful - very knowledgable and articulate. Her description of the haunting in the Gayola stayed with us the rest of the evening! And we liked the way she had us shoot the digital photos in the "yellow fever" alley. I swear there's an orb in several of my pix. It was really creepy standing outside the oldest building in Memphis at night on a late October eve, especially after she shared its stories about its former use as a civil war hospital. You couldn't pay me to put my face to the glass to look inside.

The walking tour was a blast. We really enjoyed the Guide and her knowlege of the history behind the places we visited. I would certainly recommend this tour to any one looking for something different to do. We are very interested in booking another tour that has a little more of a history theme to it.

Being from Memphis, this was something different and fun to do on a Saturday night. Some of the "haunts" we visited I had no idea exsisted. Believer or not, this is alot of fun. If nothing else, learn a bit of Memphis history. My husband and I plan to complete several other tours now. Our guide was Morgan and she was great. She knew her stuff. She was very friendly and enthusiastic. When we go again, I'd love to have her as a guide. The guides do accept tips, which we didn't know. So, bring along a few dollars. We also took a bottle of water. During our last stop of the night, we were able to take a break. My husband and I shared a beer and listened to the music while hanging out. Very enjoyable evening and highly recommended!!

My family decided to go on this trip on a whim. I thought it was great, it was better than I expected. I wanted to go inside some of the haunted places, but we couldn't , which I understand. May family and I had a great time.

Good stories, good pace, learned a lot , had a great time.

My college age daughter and I spent 3great days in memphis and enjoyed everthing about Memphis.Mojo tours with Memphis jones as our tour guide.comedian.musician and historian was amazing.Every person on the bus was smiling and laughing as we learned about the history and music in memphis.Tbis tour is well worth the money and I would reccomend that anyone going to memphis take this fun and lively tour.

Great musical tour of Memphis and we went to most of the important musical sites in the city. If you are looking for a general tour of non-music related sites in Memphis this is not what you are looking for. Tourguide Memphis Jones very talented, and engaged the group in singing along, which everyone seemed to enjoy. I recommend the tour for anyone that is interested in the musical history of Memphis.

Awesome mix of music, comedy and information from the soul of the city to the rock of the ages.

The walking ghost tour was so much fun. It was very interesting to experience the city in that way. I really enjoyed seeing the old buildings and learning some history, along with some very interesting ghost stories!! The tour guide was great as well. Very friendly and enthusiastic! She really made the whole experience great! Definitely recommend going on this tour for a fun night out and for a different option for the date night--not just dinner and a movie anymore!

Our guide was great, she was scared as telling the stories. The hauntings were known by locals when we were talking about them after the tour. They are very REAL stories & Happenings. The orbes were very promenant in pictures.
