Worth every penny. Narration and singing were wonderful.
The guide was superb. His knowledge of the history of Memphis, vocals and guitar on songs and personality were outstanding. Sun studio was nice also. They both exceeded my expectations.
One of the best bus tours I have ever been on. Our gude(his mane eacapes me, old age I guess) was informative, humorous and played a mean guitar. I would highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic tour Davy was fabulous the singing and his knowledge was amazing such a fun and educational tour
Really enjoyed the tour especially the guide who narrated and played music .
SO much fun. One of the highlights of our weekend in Memphis. The tour guide was fabulous! Learned so much about Memphis music history.
This was a fun, interactive tour through Memphis full of history, music and entertainment! Cecil was knowledgeable, fun, personable and sharing with his group. We never had a guide that shook like Elvis, killed liked Jerry, and hurt like Johnny! Shout out to Michael (I hope I caught the name right) for driving us through Memphis like we was running late for church and for bringing us back safe with nothing damaged but our vocal cords! Lots of fun! Highly recommend!
I have done this tour before and loved it. I recommended it to my sister & her kids and it turned out really poorly. The rear AC did not work at all and when we questioned whether there was AC at all the tour guide was rude. “It’s summer in Memphis,” was his response. I had cracked open a window and he admonished me for doing so. Turned out the fan was not working in the back where we were sitting and it wasn’t until I expressly told the bus driver at the pit stop at the Overton Park Shell that the bus driver addressed it. Four passengers got off the bus at the Shell and refused to reboard. The tour guide had been rude to them as well. Lastly, after passing the Civil Rights Museum, another passenger had to get off and was sick on the street. The poor woman seemed elderly and overcome with the heat!! Ridiculous. Her companion got off too and stayed with her and we concluded the tour without them. Again I have done this tour and previously had a very good experience. That was in December, however, so we didn’t have AC issues. There should be 1) some kind of checklist where the driver ensures all systems are operational and 2) the tour guide needs to be service minded and not be rude to customers.
We went on the Memphis Mojo Bus Tour on a Saturday afternoon after visiting Beale Street, as pick up was just at Alfred’s. The length of the tour was around an hour and half and there was around 30 people, so plenty of space on the bus itself. Both the driver and guide were very nice, and we learnt a great deal about early Memphis Blues and Rock n Roll music. We had a great time and would definitely recommend the tour. Our guide played an array of music from lots of different Memphis artists, he was really good.
My tour guide talked of many musical and historically significant sights around Memphis. She played guitar and sang songs often related to sights seen. Good music, good information. You can bring an adult beverage, but best to have it in a can instead of plastic cup.
