What are people saying about Memphis

Memphis City Tour with Sun Studio Admission

Craig_S, Jul 2026

Sun Studio Highlight!

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.

Taste of Downtown Memphis Food Tour

Guinevere_W, Jul 2026

Fun tour

Walking tour within ~2 blocks, not too far in the July heat. 5 stops, food, soda, water included in tour price. Alcohol available. No changes to "menu" unless you have food allergies. Lots of local historical information shared. Taylor is a great guide. She's a local native. We stayed on Beale St afterwards and enjoyed the dueling pianos at Silkys.

Memphis True Crime Tour

Donald_L, Jul 2026

A Great Time And A Great Tour!

John was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about the different parts of Memphis and the real events that took place in them. He wad also very vocal when it was time to board the bus! Other people on the tour didn't listen or chose to leave the room. We wound up nearly leaving them once and actually leaving them behind the second time but it wasn't his fault! They didn't pay attention or learn their lesson the first time! He was extremely professional and apologetic when we went back to get them, both to them and those of us on the bus even when he didn't have to. His only mistake was thinking adults would act like adults.

Memphis Rap and Hip Hop Tour

Antionette_D, Jul 2026

My husband & I went on...

My husband & I went on this tour for my birthday. Being from Memphis, I wanted to learn something new! Taylor Nicole is a great tour guide! She was very knowledgeable about the start of rap & how it came to be in Memphis! We'll definitely be taking another tour once Taylor Nicole add more legends to the roster! Ms Princess (the driver) was so funny & kind. They both made my birthday & tour a memorable one 💗

Memphis Mojo Bus Tour

debbie_h, Jul 2026

An Enjoyable and Informative Music Tour

We really enjoyed the Mojo bus tour and found it to be both entertaining and informative. The guide was a great singer who kept the atmosphere lively while sharing lots of interesting facts about the history of Memphis music that we didn’t know before. The visit to the Stax Museum was worthwhile and informative too, although it was a little smaller than we expected. The time there was about right before heading back on the bus. Overall, it was a fun way to learn more about Memphis’s rich musical heritage, and we’d happily recommend it.

Guided Memphis City Tour that includes Riverboat Cruise

Cerrita_P, Jun 2026

The Boat was the GOAT!

The River Cruise we did was the last thing but the best thing! The commentator was very knowledgeable and gave music history of Memphis as well as Mississippi history. He played examples of the music he mentioned. Michelle was an awesome tour guide and was always on time at pick ups and it was nice to be able to meet her at the Welcome center since we were not in a hotel. Having choices of activities was a plus because we had already been to Graceland several times so we picked the cruise and Beale street to spend more time on those. MIchelle was witty and knowledgeable plus told some specific stories that emphasized some of the sites we drove by. Though not an in depth tour it gave us a good underpinning of knowledge and appreciation for the city of Memphis! Would definitely recommend it to the newbie visitor!!

Memphis 1 hour Horseback Trail Ride

Felicia_C, Jun 2026

Title: A Wonderful Horseback Riding Adventure at Shelby Farmers Park!

Today my husband and I recently took our granddaughters to Shelby Farms Park for a day of horseback riding, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the adventure exceeded our expectations. A special shoutout to our guide, Sage! She was absolutely fantastic with the kids, especially my six-year-old granddaughter. Sage's patience and gentle demeanor put her at ease right away, making her first horseback riding experience a joy. It was heartwarming to see how knowledgeable and passionate she was about the horses; her enthusiasm was infectious! The park itself is beautiful, with well-maintained trails that allowed us to enjoy the stunning surroundings while we rode. The horses were all well-cared for and seemed happy and relaxed, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a fun and memorable outing with family, I highly recommend visiting Shelby Farms Park for horseback riding. Thank you, Sage, for making our day truly special – you rock! Can't wait to return for another adventure!

A Great and Fun Way to Learn about Memphis!

Mary was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and had excitement in telling the history of Memphis. Mark was a very nice driver and was very friendly as well. The tour was excellent! It ended with a river cruise which was very relaxing. The gentleman on the cruise gave a lot of information of the surrounding events and areas along the Mississippi River.

Memphis City Tour with Optional Riverboat Cruise & Sun Studio Add-On Options

Leah_A, Jun 2026

Memphis Tour

We had Michelle as our tour guide/driver; she was great! Very comfortable ride, the history of Memphis city was interesting, and we stopped at the Peabody to watch the duck march, it was so cute! We chose the bus and boat tour; so while other passengers went to the Sun Studio, we were dropped at Beale Street to walk around and eat lunch while we waited (I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich and fries at Alfred's.... DELICIOUS!) we were picked up right on time and taken to the riverfront to board the boat. Another fantastic experience on the boat and our MC Lamar(??) was fantastic! We had pictures taken as we boarded, with the opportunity to purchase, and we did. The pictures are framed with a marine theme and worth $15. The boat trip was 1.5 hrs, and Michelle picked us up right on time again and took us back to the information center. The whole day lasted from 8am-4pm and it was a fantastic experience! Our tour was $190 for 2 people, it was definitely worth it 🤗

Memphis Signature Guided Brewery Tour

Connie_Q, Jun 2026

We absolutely loved this...

We absolutely loved this brewery tour! Brian, our tour guide, was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun. The beers were all excellent, and the pizza was amazing as well. Everything was well organized, and we learned a lot while enjoying some great local brews. We would definitely do this tour again on our next visit to Memphis. Highly recommend!

Memphis Discovery Tour w/ National Civil Rights Museum Admission

Linda_G, Mar 2026

Great overall historical...

Great overall historical perspective of Memphis. National Civil Rights Museum was astounding and very sobering. As a young child during the early 60’s, I was not aware of what all happened and did not learn this at school. Spent three hours there!! Would do again!!

Memphis Discovery Tour

Deana_H, Feb 2026

Touring Memphis

We were only in Memphis for a few days and we were so grateful for this tour. John, our guide, and Calvin, our driver, were both fantastic. John was full of interesting stories and history about Memphis. It was great learn about the city and see so many important landmarks and spaces. His passion and love of Memphis was a highlight. He’s such a talented individual.
