This bus tour appeared to be a little hokey when we boarded the bus. Young lady sitting on a stool with a guitar. I started wondering if TripAdvisor had steered me wrong. Nope. As we toured the city she sang us through the history of Memphis. She had a nice voice, and provided a very entertaining tour of Memphis. Really... More

Second time on the tour and every bit as good as the first. Kathryn Brawley was excellent and entertaining as a tour guide. This is a unique and enjoyable way to learn about the importance of music to Memphis.

We booked the Big Mojo Music Tour based on reviews on TA. Having never been to Memphis, we thought it would be an excellent way to see some of the sites and learn about the city, and we were right! Our guide, Shaquina (sp?), a student enrolled in a local college majoring in songwriting, proved to be a wonderful singer,... More

It was a great way to learn about and see the city. We were truly entertained. It is well worth the money and... More

If you are in Memphis and have the time....you want to go on this tour. Our tour guide sang, played guitar and told lots of jokes to keep us entertained. She was a real talent. We got a fabulous view of Memphis (nice parts and not-so-nice parts.) It was a wonderful experience and I really feel like I got a... More

We took our family on the Backbeat Mojo tour and everyone loved it, including the kids! Brad, the tour guide, was a great musician and a wealth of knowledge on the history of Memphis. I would highly recommend this tour - a lot of fun and worth the money.

My friends and I had a fabulous time on the Mojo Tour today with Kathryn. For such a young girl, she was a wealth of knowledge about music. And a great voice, too! Definitely worth every penny. Just wish I could remember all the information she told us!
