About This Tour
This isn’t a script — it’s Memphis told by a musician who lives it. What sets this private 1.5-hour winter tour apart is how your guide blends music, culture, river history, and true local stories into one unforgettable ride. You’ll see Beale Street, Sun Studio (exterior), the Civil Rights Museum, Cotton Row, the Mississippi River, the Peabody Hotel, and Victorian Village or Overton Park — all from the comfort of a warm private vehicle with minimal walking, making it perfect for colder days. Along the way, you’ll hear how the river shaped the city, how blues shaped rock ’n’ roll, and where to find the best BBQ (including a drive-by of a local favorite). You’ll also receive a FREE illustrated eBook about Elvis’s early Memphis life — exclusive to this tour. Fast, fun, and rich with insider detail, it’s the perfect winter-friendly introduction to Memphis — created by a guide travelers consistently call “the highlight of your trip.”
