Are you looking for a way to see Memphis without joining a tour group? On this self-guided tour, you'll discover where to find the best beats, BBQ and brews in town. Many visitors to Bluff City think of its historic woes in the 1970s and 1980s, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, when the inner city was rife with riots and looting. But Memphis is on the rebound, and on this walking tour, I’ll share how the city is reclaiming its spot as the cultural hub of the Delta blues, brews, and BBQ. You'll walk from Central Station Memphis, through the downtown area and the historical Beale Street Entertainment District, home of the Blues. Along the way, Phil, a tour producer and working actor, will show you opulent theatres, skyscrapers, churches, and monuments, including Orpheum Theatre, The Peabody Memphis Hotel, Tennessee Club and the National Civil Rights Museum.

Just did the Brews, Blues, and BBQ tour in Memphis - Amazing!

I recently took the self-guided walking tour in Memphis and it was a blast! Starting at Central Station, we wandered through the Beale Street district, hitting some great BBQ spots. The audio guide from Phil was super informative—learned a lot about the city’s blues history. We took it easy and spent about 4 hours exploring. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves music and good food!

Thinking about gifting the Memphis walking tour – any advice?

I’m considering getting this self-guided tour as a gift for my brother who’s a huge BBQ fan. He’s going to Memphis next month and I think this would be perfect! Does anyone know how easy it is to use the app? I want to make sure he’ll have a smooth experience.
