Best tour we’ve ever been on! Was so much fun, super comfy bus (as I am 7.5 months pregnant I was worried I’d not be comfortable sitting that long but the a/c & bus were great lol), the tour guide had so many great stories, so much information, & an amazing singing voice! Also, if you can swing it, I definitely recommend not passing up the tour of Sun Studios! 10/10 recommend and will be bringing back family next time to do another tour!This was such a fun tour and great way to see and hear about all the music in Memphis. The add on of Sun Studios was absolutely epic, so I would totally recommend that. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the music and was very witty. Great afternoon.
