Great tour. - Shannon was an energetic tour guide. It was good to get off the bus and see sights up close. The stop at the BBQ was delicious.

Taylor-Nicole & driver too were great - Truly enjoyed this tour with my family. There were lots of opportunities to take pictures. She even helped us take pictures. She was very punctual and spoke very loudly so everyone could hear. I felt like I got to really see a lot of the history and historic sites and homes in Memphis on this tour. It’s well worth it to add the Lorraine motel to your tour With the national cities Museum was a highlight for sure.

Backbeat Discovery Tour - Good introduction to Memphis. Larry was an excellent guide. Some background on Elvis & BB King, some architectural scenes (Victorian homes), some Civil Rights history, and BBQ food.

Awesome - This tour experience was wonderful. Our tour guide, TaylorNicole was very well informed. She made us all feel very comfortable. Unfortunately I cannot recall our bus drivers name, but he scooted us around without incident, and was very patient. We would definitely recommend this experience.

Cold but exciting day - With family visiting Memphis for the first time, we were excited to share the city we’ve come to call home since moving here in 2020. What better way to do that than with the Memphis Discovery Tour? Taylor Nicole and Miss Princess were absolutely delightful, fun and full of smiles, even on this chilly 20 degree January day. It ended up being just the four of us with these two amazing women and that made the experience feel even more personal and special. Taylor Nicole was a fantastic guide, brimming with knowledge and a true passion for the history of Memphis. Her enthusiasm made every stop along the tour come alive with stories and insights. It was clear she genuinely cares about the city and its people, making the experience feel not just educational but also incredibly personal. Her energy made us feel like we were touring the city with a friend who truly wanted us to understand and appreciate all that Memphis has to offer. We had an amazing time on this tour and couldn’t recommend it more! Whether you're visiting or a local, it's the perfect way to enjoy Memphis' rich history and vibrant culture.

Interesting tour - Interesting tour - if you have mobility issues - ensure this is the tour for you. Drop off to the river cruise was far too early

Memphis tour - The information was wonderful and for a quick tour to fill in some down time this was a great choice. The food was delicious and just the right amount for the early morning.

Disappointed - I booked this tour 2 months in advance. The description of what we booked was not what we got. We had a very old, rickety bus that was contracted out by Viator. We had "lunch" at a real dive that was dirty and in a weird part of town. The description of what I booked said we were going to the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks, and also to Sun Sounds Studio. We did not go and our guide said that was not part of our tour. When I go to my original Dec. booking description of Memphis Discovery Tour, there is no description so I think we got a "bait and switch". All in all very disappointing!. The only good part was Kate, our knowledgeable guide and our sweet bus driver. They helped us with our luggage and found a place to store our luggage at the final stop at the Rock and Roll Museum.

Tour cancelled - Bad experience, the tour operator cancelled one hour before the tour. They left a phone message. When I texted them they did not reply.
