Amazing. I learned so much on this tour that I never knew from all these years of education!! If…read moreyou are ever in Memphis this is a must do. It will change your life and it's fun!! A great way to explore and learn all at the same time. Also it's great for families with people who can't walk a tour. This allows you to tour no matter your ability. The tour guide said she has done this in other states too I would travel to experience this in every state. What an excellent concept. I hope it goes further! I posted a few pictures you have to go in the tour to hear their stories.

This tour is an OUTSTANDING experience! I've been on many tours in different cities and can attest…read morethat this one competes for top spot easily. The 'Queen' was our guide and she totally made this Memphis trip a memorable one. Even though I've been to Memphis a few times, I've never had someone provide depth to the city's history and culture that is out in the open but not really seen. Queen doesn't just spit knowledge-- she keeps everyone engaged throughout the tour. She also is a master at linking the past with the present, with an added emphasis on prompting action to shape future history. You have my word--take this tour at first opportunity and you won't be disappointed. It'll also be valuable for learning good food and tourist spots for after the tour. Hint: smoked turkey ribs...

We weren't impressed…read more Don't waste your time with this company. I believe this tour company and Blues City Tours are one and the same. I searched online for a hop-on, hop-off city tour and came across this company. It was a July 4th Saturday. We arrived at the Welcome Center on time but we were also supposed to pick up other passengers at different stops. The route did not follow the schedule because we had to pick up passengers. The tour guide was hard to hear, either the microphone wasn't working well or the the bus needed servicing... it was competing with the tour guide as far as loudness. The following places were on the schedule: Ticket Booth/Hard Rock Cafe National Civil Rights Museum/Blues Hall of Fame Rock N' Soul Museum/BB King's Stax Museum Graceland Sun Studios Auto Zone Park/Peabody Hotel Bass Pro Shop (Pyramid) Welcome Center We saw 4 of the places listed above. We got off the bus in Graceland and spent quite some time there. The bus runs every hour and 20 mins but the bus came late, we could've stayed a little longer at Elvis' mansion. We thought we'd have to take Uber back in town. We could've done our own self-guided driving tour. It turned out there were only six of us who booked that day and one of the ladies with us was a tour bus guide herself in New Orleans! She too was disappointed with this company. Paid $63 ($30/per person + fees). Don't waste your $$. I was just glad to learn about The Lorraine Motel where Dr MLK Jr. was shot while standing on a balcony outside his second-floor room. We drove to the museum after the tour. Other than that I didn't learn much from the tour. I'm sorry to say but It was disorganized. Review #1876

THIS IS NOT NARRATED AND NOT A TOUR - WORST USE OF TIME IN MEMPHIS…read more I love hop on and off tours when I visit a new city. You usually get a cliff notes overview of the city and attractions and then you can choose what you might want to go back to spend more time on. Usually the buses are frequent and reliable and guides or audio narrations are informative. THIS WAS NONE OF THAT! The site says buses are supposed to start running at 9:00AM and for some reason this service only run once per hour. My companion and I decided to take our time on breakfast and were at our stop to catch the second bus at 10:00 AM. The sign at the stop said it comes by that location at 15 minutes after the hour so we waited. At 10:25 we tried to call to find out where the bus was but continually got a busy signal. At 10:35 my friend walked up to the booth only to find out that the driver decided to start her day at 10:00AM at Graceland that day. She assured us she would be by our stop at 11:15. We came back to the stop at 11:05 and waited until 11:30 before the driver showed up. The bus was old, small, and smelled strongly of diesel fumes, definitely not the bus pictured in the ad. There were a few other couples on at that point and we started chatting. Some folks thought they were on the "blue line" and others wanted the "green line". When asked, the driver said she was the only driver so she would drop people off wherever they wanted. She definitely did not stick to a predetermined route and there would be no telling when the bus might decide to come back if you actually decided to hop off at an attraction! It soon became clear that there was also no narration and when asked about that the driver indicated that she already did it when she started at 10:00AM!? By this time we had ridden to the Stacks Museum which is in a sketchy area so although we wanted off this nightmare bus that by now had made me nauseous from the fumes we were afraid we might not be able to get back to our hotel. Another couple who though they were on the "blue line" told her they wanted to go to the Civil Rights Museum back toward downtown so when she headed that way we asked to be dropped off back at the Peabody Hotel so we could just get in our car and drive, which is what we would have done in the first place if we knew it was not a tour at all but a sketchy and unreliable shuttle bus. I was at the end of a business trip and I had planned for an afternoon flight so I could take advantage of the morning to get a taste of Memphis before heading home. What was supposed to be an efficient way to experience this city turned into a total disaster that sucked up our day. By the time we got of that crazy train, we only had enough time to drive up to Graceland and take a picture and then head to the airport. An unfortunate experience in what should have been a unique city with a rich and vibrant history.
