The tour was okay! However, we needed to leave the tour early because our host was providing a tour of Graceland, the mansion! The driver left the members of the tour to have lunch, giving them an hour. We asked the driver to drive us back to the Guest House and he refused? He had an hour!! He forced us to call Lift to take us back to our hotel!! We are furious !!! The tour cost us $184 plus $10 for the Lift! I think we should get a refund for all the aggravation and extra expense the driver caused!!
Our driver was fun, informative, and willing to ask questions and be asked questions. At first I thought it was going to be just typical, don't get off the bus, drive around and take pictures through the van windows kind of tour. But, turns out that we drive a bit, got out at some meet sights and had time to walk a bit. Totally recommend the Sun Studios tour, especially if you are any bit of a music fan. Very cool!!
Sun studio tour was undoubtedly the highlight and very good, step into history. Driver was good and very helpful with Memphis history and Beale Street. Drove past Lorraine Motel and National Civil Rights Museum but had to visit separately as they really are a must for any visitor.
Sam was si funny and interactive with us on the tour. He was very well organized and kept us on time. His personal history in the city with celebrities was fun ro hear about as well. Overall, Great tour!
Excellent from initial sign-up through drop- off. Daryl was excellent, courteous,and extremely knowledgeable about the area. 5 stars across the board!
Great way to safely see the city. No need to drive anywhere because they pick you up right at your hotel.
I think you get better pictures sitting on the right side of the bus. Very informative and a fun trip.
Michelle our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging! Great tour!
Michelle the tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun. It was great viewing and learning about the history of Memphis through her. It gave me a better appreciation for the city, it's culture and music. My husband and I took the tour with the Peabody ducks and Sun Studios, and before we knew it, the time passed by quickly. I cannot stress enough that everyone needs to take this tour, especially if you have Michelle as your guide. Thank you for making our first visit to Memphis so memorable and enjoyable.
This tour exceeded our expectations! We only had one full day in Memphis so we chose this tour to get the most out of our time. It hit all the highlights of this beautiful city. Our driver/guide Sam was so funny and knowledgeable. And you could tell he loved sharing his city with visitors. We did the Sun Studio tour add in and that was also a highlight of the day. So much history!
