    Sarah_S, May 2026
    Tour guide (Evelyn) was super nice! Monica went out of her way to make sure we made it to the right pick up location. The tour itself was underwhelming and overpriced.

    Won't do again

    kathy_p, Apr 2026
    No mention of where the 10am pick up was, bus was late, bus made a lot of creaks, and stops we're not in order

    Diana_L, Mar 2026
    Excellent, informative tour around Memphis. Very accommodating as we had to be picked up at a different location because we were delayed.

    Not hop on/off! Use Uber.

    maybe1or2x, Nov 2025
    Did not get on and asking for refund. Only one bus with an hour and a half wait between stops? No schedule on Viator as to when/where pick up happens. No signs on street. Not worth the cost and expect refund.

    Excellent history filled tour of Memphis

    Very accommodating service, great stories. Accommodations were fine, despite rough ride over rough Memphis streets. Nice to not have to worry about driving and parking.

    Bruce_J, Jun 2025
    We were very disappointed; it was not the experience that was promised. First, they advertised the trip would be in an “air conditioned” bus. It was not; on a hot and humid day, the ride was not pleasant. Secondly, the driver was late, making the route rushed. Finally, the driver’s narrative was interrupted frequently by calls from the office. Needless to say, we will not recommend this to anyone. This is not the HOHO we have used around the world.

    Great tour and knowledgeable driver!

    Tricia_R, Jun 2025
    It’s great that our driver Evelyn knew the history! The safety window could use some repair as it rattled quite loudly but over all the tour was great and reasonably priced. I would recommend this tour for sure

    Great way to see the sites of Memphis. our driver was Evelyn and she was very knowledgeable about Memphis. Very very accommodating. Appreciate it greatly.

    Good tour of Memphis

    Catherine_E, May 2025
    We enjoyed the tour and especially the tour director. He had really interesting stories. It’s unfortunate that the City is so run down (which isn’t on you but your city leaders). But we enjoyed all of the stops on the tour. And we are glad we got the chance to visit.

    Memphis

    Dianna_F, Apr 2025
    Bus only comes to stop every hour and a half, only one Bus with no suspension, very rough ride!xxxxx

    Highly Recommended and Will Definitely Use Again the next time we visit for their other tours.

    Odettelynn_M, Apr 2025
    Wonderful tour and tour guide. Our tour guide, Evelyn, was wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable and very personable. She answered all of our questions and made our trip memorable.

    Good Staff

    Brion_M, Mar 2025
    The drivers were very polite and helpful with all the stops we made they were very knowledgeable about the tours and directions for where to go

    Basically a Shuttle Service

    Sharlene_S, Mar 2025
    We appreciated the flexibility of our driver, but this was basically an expensive shuttle service. Normally, hop on, hop off services provide commentary on the city, its landmarks etc. there was none of that. We paid $80 for transportation to 2 sites.

    Excellent way to learn about Memphis

    Donna_F, Dec 2024
    Taking the Memphis city bus tour is a wonderful way to see the major attractions of the city. Hopping on and off a bus that is reliable and comfortable with a guide who’s telling you things about the city that you would never know by just driving yourself gives you information and comfort you would not have facing traffic and driving yourself. My tour was extraordinary. I started the tour early in the day with a guide named Evelyn and was the only one on the bus for a part of the trip. Evelyn and I were able to talk and I had lots of questions that she answered with factual information about the city and the culture she has lived in has lived in for 75 years. I felt fortunate that she was willing and able to talk about the history as well as the structures on the street. I learned so much and enjoyed my trip. I got off at the Civil Rights Museum where I spent a couple of hours in that outstanding place.

    Thank you for choosing Memphis Hop and I hope to see you on our bus again.

    Best Tour

    Yvonne_C, Nov 2024
    By far my best experience in Memphis. Ms. Evelyn was our guide and I learned so much being my first time in TN. She was funny, kind and so knowledgeable. Would definately do this tour again but only with Evelyn.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed your tour.

    Not up to standard

    Steve_D, Nov 2024
    The bus was a rattling mess. It jarred us too much! And this was on city streets. That bus needs to be retired. The driver was nice, but had too few observations. AND, the bus needs a PA system…couldn’t hear half of what little she said.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Thank you for review. These issues have been addressed.

    Ms Evelyn made the tour.

    Leslie_N, Oct 2024
    Our tour master, Ms Evelyn, was amazing. She was knowledgeable and funny. We enjoyed all the sites and learned so much about the city during our short visit.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed your tour and your tour guide.

    Use uber

    Karl_J, Oct 2024
    We got on at graceland at 1:20,and got off at blues hall of fame at 1:45ish. Didn't get back on again. $80 for a ride to the arcade from graceland. Bummer.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Good Morning, I think you have the wrong company. We do not have a pickup at Graceland at 1:20p, nor do we have a pickup at Blues Hall of Fame at 1:45pm. The hop on doesn't go from Graceland to Blues Hall of Fame, we have 5 stops before we make it to the Blues Hall of Fame from Graceland. The Hop off ends at 5:30p, it's best to get on before 1p to be able to see more than one stop. The price is $45.00 person. Sorry for your experience, but I don't think you road with us.

    Enjoyed Tge Ride!

    Carol_W, Oct 2024
    A great way to decide what you want to see if you aren't sure. Evelyn was a delightful tour guide. We enjoyed the experience!

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Hello, I am happy you enjoyed the Hop On and your guide. Hope to see you again on our bus.

    You won’t be disappointed!

    Jasmine_B, Oct 2024
    It took me a few days to choose an activity but I’m so glad that I chose this tour. You’re given a schedule of places to visit and enough time to explore each place. It was a great experience with an awesome driver, Ms. Evelyn.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Good Morning. Thank you for your review and we are happy to know you enjoyed Memphis and the Hop On. Such a great way to see the city and learn while riding.

    Not your typical hop on/off bus tour

    Penny_B, Oct 2024
    Our tour/bus driver was excellent and very knowledgeable. However, it's not a typical hop on/off bus tour The buses come by every 90 minutes so if you get off at a stop, you better be planning on taking a tour. We had to walk pretty far to get our ticket. It was the only stop where you could get it (near Sun Studios). It also has a short operating time 10am to 5:30 pm at Graceland.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Hello, Glad you enjoyed the hop on. You can redeem your voucher for tickets with the bus driver at any of the 10 stops. You don't have to walk to our ticket office, sorry you had to walk so far.

    Worst company ever!!!

    Barry_e, Oct 2024
    Nthing good about this experience. Bus was in disrepair with a cracked windshield, no sound system for the driver to talk to us. She did have a portable speaker sitting on the floor but the AC fan was winding and so loud couldn't hear anyway. Driver returned twice to pick up people that showed up late so the driver drove like a crazy taxi driver to get us on schedule. Driver only told us about two of the stop and the others we had to ask when they were coming up. So with this company only one bus and driver so it was an hour and half to be picked up when you got off. And since they shut down at 5:30 we were only able to see three of the ten attractions. Worst I've ever been on!!!!!!

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Hello, Sorry for your experience. I wish you would have notified us before now. We could have worked something out.

    Worth it

    Merry_M, Oct 2024
    Excellent trip.we were picked up at our hotel( big cypress lodge) and took the loop.got off at graceland. We spent 4 hrs there and she took us back to our hotelnsince big cypress lodge was a stop on the route.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    thank you for your review and I am glad you enjoyed your ride with us.

    Too much to see and not enough time

    Kathleen_R, Sept 2024
    The ability to see many different attractions. If you want to see Graceland do it last. It is a zoo and the lines are long. We missed our time slot for pickup and weren’t able to do Sun Studios. Did Sun on our own. Driver provided a nice overview of the sites along the way.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024
