Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? What age do you recommend?

A: Absolutely! This tour is great for families. Kids aged 8 and up usually enjoy it as they can appreciate the music history and landmarks. Just be ready for a lot of walking, especially around Beale Street. It's also a good idea to keep an eye on them near some busier areas.

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they cancel the tour?

A: The tour runs rain or shine! Most of the tour is done in the SUV, and there are covered areas at the stops. If the weather's really bad, you can always reschedule without a fee as long as you give them notice ahead of time.

Q: How much walking is involved in this tour?

A: You can expect about 30-45 minutes of walking total. Beale Street is mostly flat, and the walking stops are short, but wear comfy shoes! Your guide will pace it according to your group's comfort, so you won't be rushed.

Memphis 101 Tour was epic!

Just wanted to share that I did the Memphis 101 tour last week, and it was AMAZING! Our guide was so knowledgeable and made everything come alive, especially around Beale Street. The views of the Mississippi were breathtaking. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves music history. Worth every penny!
