Top Memphis Bus Tours

Great way to see Memphis. Our tour guide was an engaging story teller and talented vocalist. Great on guitar too! Everyone involved with this group was interesting and fun to interact with. I learned a lot about the culture and history of Memphis and had a lot of fun.

I didn't know what to expect when I climbed onto the bus. A rap tour of Memphis? I figured it'd be fun — but what I got was something way more powerful than I anticipated. This wasn't just a tour. It was a love letter to a city that the rest of the world has often overlooked, told through the streets, the stories, and the music that came out of them. A few of the artists featured: Yo Gotti GloRilla Young Dolph Our guide, Taylor Nicole, set the tone immediately. She speaks about Memphis rap the way a proud hometown kid should — with knowledge, with heart, and without sugarcoating anything. As we rolled through Orange Mound, one of the oldest African American communities in the country, she connected the dots between the neighborhood's history and the music that grew out of it. You could feel the weight of that. The music playing through the bus speakers while you're literally driving through the streets those artists rapped about — that's a different kind of listening experience. Hearing Young Dolph while rolling through the neighborhoods he called home was genuinely moving. Taylor Nicole's storytelling around him was the emotional high point of the tour for me. She didn't shy away from the reality of his story, and it made everything land harder. "This tour doesn't just tell you about Memphis rap — it shows you where it came from, block by block." Cruising through Castalia and Vollentine added more texture. Each neighborhood has its own identity, and Taylor Nicole did a great job drawing out what made each one distinct — culturally, musically, historically. By the time we wrapped up after 2.5 hours, I felt like I actually understood Memphis in a way I hadn't before. Eye-opening is the only way I can describe it. Whether you're a die-hard Memphis rap fan or just someone curious about the city's culture, this tour is worth every minute. Taylor Nicole is the real deal, and this experience is one I'll be recommending to everyone.

We really enjoyed our tour of Memphis with Michelle. She was knowledgeable and funny and kept things moving. We saw many sights around the city and she told many stories about characters of the past. We saw the ducks at the Peabody (she gave us tips on the best place to stand), saw Elvis’s wedding jacket at Lansky’s, and had time to walk down Beale St during the downtown portion of the tour. The information on Danny Thomas and the founding of St Jude’s and how it operates today was particularly interesting. We did the Sun Studio tour as well and it was outstanding! Highly recommend this tour!
