We took the 90 minute music mojo tour. Emily was fabulous! Was a small group and felt like an intimate setting. She explained a lot about Memphis music history and had a great voice!! Definitely a fun way to tour around Memphis
Great tour! Our guide was not only a terrific musician, he was also super knowledgeable about the history and sights in town. My dog and my glass of bourbon were also allowed on the tour which was very nice!
I am so sorry that I cannot remember our guide's name, but she was AMAZING. This was such a fun way to learn about Memphis. Having live music playing as I watched the diversity and contradiction of the city pass me by through the window was a heightened sense of reality that is etched on my mind. Singing along with the multigenerational group to classics we all know - and were possible because of the magic of Memphis- was soul-healing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Nice informative tour. AC bus. Some walking. BBQ stop for lunch but only a slider, chips, coal slaw, and a drink. I recommend the river boat at the end. Can buy drinks, snacks, and a group picture.
A fun and entertaining experience. Our guide and guitarplayer/singer was very enthusiastic, played and song very good. Unfortunately for her the microphone "didn't play along". I'm so sorry I forgot her name...but she was great!!! And princess, our busdriver was very skilled. It was a memorable tour.
