Last year while in Memphis for a meeting, I heard about Backstreet Tours. I am so glad I bought a ticket. The singer/musician/narrator was Memphis Jones. He was so talented and he sure knew Memphis. It was a terrific tour. You are given an overview of the attractions in the downtown area. This way, you can decide where you want... More

Brad, our tour guide, was a lot of fun. This is a fun tour where the whole bus participates. We did the 3 hour tour that included Sun Studios. Absolutely luved that place. I would recommend the tour when you first get to memphis.

This tour gives a nice overview of Memphis and lots of information about the city and its music. It should be done first part of your trip. It is an OLD tour bus so don't expect anything fancy and no bathrooms. They give out tambourines and shakers as the guide does sing a lot of songs illustrating the music of... More

Our tour guide was Brandon...he surely informed and entertained us throughout the entire tour. We did the Big Mojo Tour and would highly recommend it!

Excellent tour guide, a young lady, Shinika(?), who was a fantastic musician, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about music and it's history.

First of all, they were over an hour late starting our tour and we had rushed to get there on time. But the tour was fun and interesting. The tour guide sang and told stories about music and musicians that got their start in Memphis.

If you are in the Middle South, or on the NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY, please do yourself a favor and see MEMPHIS with BACKBEAT TOURS!! With BRANDON leading us around, this is probably the best city tour in the USA .. .. We hit all the major sights with BRANDON crooning the great music that has passed through Memphis .. ..... More

You learn a lot about Memphis music history on this tour. Our guide, musician Shekinah, had a great voice that kept us entertained. Our only dislike was that you don't get a chance to get out and visit some of the places you see. Still, overall it was a good way to see the city.
