Our city tour became a private tour as we were the only couple on the bus due to Covid. Our driver Larry was the best! Very informative with a great sense of humor. We learned a lot about Memphis from him and had a wonderful time! At the end of our tour, my husband left his bag on the bus and we didnt realize it until about a half hour later. Larry went out of his way to drive the bus back to our location and he hand delivered my husbands bag. Thank you so much Larry! Youre the best! I highly recommend this company.

Very good way to get to know the city & get a gist of its history!The driver/guide was friendly and very knowledgeable of the history of his city.

We had a great time. Our tour guide played guitar and sang. He was fun and informative. We learned so much. We also paid the extra to go to Sun Studios and that was super cool as well. Definitely worth it!

If the rule is masks are required then perhaps it should apply to everyone. Otherwise why bother stating it on the website. Tour Guide too loud, music distorted over speakers & was his own best audience...Didn’t live up to the expectation set by website

We did the Memphis ghost walking tour with Sheree and had a great time! It was a large group and we got a lot of walking and a lot of stories told! Not particularly scary, these stories of ghosts and haunts were more telling of the interesting history of Memphis (unknown to me) and really brought the city to life. Sheree was cool, informed and gave us great local recommendations. Definitely a great way to take in the city!

We did the ghost tour. It was amazing! Very interesting and not at all what I expected. It was more story telling than looking for actual ghosts. I loved it! We got to see some really cool parts of the city and get history that would have otherwise been missed. AMAZING!

I didnt actually get to take my tour with Backbeat Tours, because I booked the wrong date and only realized this after Id paid. I did leave 5 stars, however, because of how excellent their customer service was when I called to try to get a refund. At first they were quick to help me change my date to the right one, but after I explained my situation (and learned that they dont host tours in January, the month I was in town) they issued a speedy refund!

3.9.2019 We went on the 2:30PM - 5:30PM Memphis Discovery Tour. TLDR= We enjoyed ourselves, will they the ghost tour next.We bought our tickets online, $48 ea. I printed out receipt, but happily didnt need it. Tour started at a bar called Alfreds, it was easy to find tour manager and check in. Plenty of seating inside and out if you arrived early. I felt no pressure to purchase anything extra, drinks, food, etc. However you are welcome to do so. It was raining and the outside seating kept us set.You start on a tour bus. The seats, not being super cushiony were comfortable. Driver and narrator both did outstanding jobs. Learned about Memphis history, then stopped at Central BBQ. Inside Central you are given a drink (12oz?) of your choice (soda or tea), escourted to a private room then fed a small plate that consists of pulled pork with sauce on a small bun, BBQ flavor potato chips, and a small sample of coleslaw. (I am not good at differentiating BBQ, so I will just say I liked it). We spent approximately 20 minutes here. Narrator answered questions the tour guest may have asked but didnt go on with tour history. This gave you time to eat in peace or meet your tour mates.Back on the buses we learn about blues, gospel, and jazz music, while on the way to the Rock & Soul Museum. Your stay here is about an hour which is plenty of time to view everything but not hear everything on the headphone tour. (Im not disappointed, just stating a fact) The R&SM starts with a 10minute film. You are then instructed how to use a cellphone shaped player attached to headphones. You then walk around the museum at your own pace punching in the number of the display your interested in hearing about. Next to various juke boxes were lists of songs you could punch in to hear in their entirety. (Hence the reason you cant listen to everything in an hour)The bus then takes you to the Loraine Hotel where Martin Luther King Jr was shot. You are allowed to get off the bus and take pictures. We also learned about the Civil Rights movement. I must reiterate that the narrator is knowledgeable and quick witted when asnwering peoples questions.Next we were shown some beautiful churches and the history behind them. The preists and nuns stayed and cared for people with yellow fever, and much of the population died from the disease.The Peabody Hotel is known for having ducks that live there. They walk from their room on the Skywalk floor to the fountain in the center of the ground floor in the morning and vice versa at night. You are here 15 minutes before the duck parade. Most of the good viewing sections are taken, but its not completely packed yet. After the duck parade I took a few minutes to take pictures of the inside of the Peabody. They have antique phones and phone booths for example.The tour is almost over. You are taken down millionaire row. A street with the largest houses in Memphis. Learning about who owns them and how they made their fortune helps add to their charm.We stop by an appartment complex that Elvis lived in as a child. We learned many facts about Elvis and his family, also that Memphis has an Elvis week during which the appartment is open to public tours.The last trek of this tour brings you by the St Judes Children Hospital. Many facts and figures are given about the hospital and its founder. I feel the St Judes information was a perfect end to a tour about Memphis.I truly felt I got my moneys worth and enjoyed myself immensely. I encourage everyone to take this tour.

Very entertaining tour we really had fun listening to the music and story’s don’t miss this experience

Mojo bus Tour. Excellent tour with one exception. The bus windows were absolutely filthy. Otherwise a great experience.

A fun and musical way to get a glimpse of what Memphis has to offer and its history. The tour guides are also musicians, so you get to hear the music behind the stories as well!

Great tour. Two hour walking tour of some of the more horrific and creepy sites in Memphis. Makes plenty of stops for talks so you are not actually walking for two hours.The tour meets at B.B. Kings and you have to check in 15 min before it starts.

Took the walking ghost tour with J!! She was the best. Her background in history really helped to bring her stories to life. Highly recommend taking this tour!!

Family here from out of state was to be our big event looked forward to seeing and experiencing this tour. 4 in our group at least three other groups here. Dont recommend this as a good option.

They were so accommodating! We ordered a limo from Nick after we hopped off backbeat!

If you want a GREAT musical history Tour of Memphis, this is the one for you! We took the Mojo Tour that included Sun Records. Our tour guide around town, Kathrin, was very knowledgeable, funny and entertaining, she was GREAT! You wont be disappointed with this tour, well worth the money! FIVE STARS!

We did the Discovery tour with Kathy as our guide. She was awesome and shared so many fun and interesting facts! The barbeque sampler was delicious and such a nice surprise.

Great tour guide. The price was reasonable. And great experience. However, our tour guide said she only makes money off of tips. There were roughly 30 people in our group at $20 a pop is $600. How in gods name is she only compensated with tips. What does the company offer. I looked it up online and there aren’t weird expense to running a walking tour company. I just don’t want to support exploitive companies. I wish I would have known.

Mojo bus tour with E. Hughes as musician tour guide was extremely fun & entertaining.

Had a good time ghost tour had good points and a bit boring at times

The haunted walking tour was great! The tour guide was knowledgeable and personable! A must for those who dont mind a leisurely-paced 2 hour walk with frequent stops.

This tour was completely worth it. Our tour guide was awesome. Full of information about Memphis. In my opinion this tour was even better than the historical walk. You have to go above and beyond to earn a tip from one of these tours, from us, and we did tip our guide. She had a bachelors degree in history and it showed. She answered all of our questions intelligently. If your a ghost hunter or just interested in history, this tour is definitely for you. I would recommend this to anyone. Great stuff.

The Ghost Tour with tour guide Ben was awesome!! Its a historical tour that hits several famous Memphis places and tells ghost stories about those places. Ben was knowledgeable and professional and my husband and I would definitely go again!

For our first time in Memphis, my family and I took the Discovery tour with Larry. He was absolutely amazing and caring for all of the people on the tour. The tour was highly informational and educational. It was a 3 hour tour that physically allows you to view and visit historic places and sites. After seeing the places it helps you create a list of places to visit in depth later while you are visiting Memphis!!!

My wife and I took the 90 minute city Mojo tour. Eric was our host. Arguably the best value for money tour Ive been on-ever. It was bucketing down with rain, but it didnt matter. Eric was informative, witty, and a damn fine vocalist and musician to boot. Thoroughly recommended.

We took our grandchildren on the Ghost Tour. Holly was an awesome guide. It was fun, historical and we saw things we probably may have missed had we not taken the tour. Thanks for giving the children the highlight of our trip.

Viator booking took forever and my Graceland trip was canceled

They offer many different type tours, 15 or so. Architecture, history, ghost, and so on. The ghost tour, even for non-believers like myself, was super fun and educational. More like a history of unfortunate events than a bunch of tales from the crypt.

My fiancé and I were visiting Memphis so we took the Backbeat Tours Mojo Tour and it was AMAZING! Super informative and fun, with a musician playing live music interspersed with knowledge about the city! They even pass out tamnourines and shakers for you to get involved in the music. I would DEFINITELY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Memphis!

The tour and the tour bus was not what was described.We boarded a school bus that was painted white, the air barely worked, and the heat was on under the seats that we sat in.We drove by various downtown curiosities, but nothing of real interest.DEFINATELY NOT worth money.....

Fantastic walking tour! My husband and I had a blast. Truly a must if you are in Memphis!

Great tour. Funny dude. Would do it again!

The guide kept running off and leaving us because my daughter was unable to walk as fast as she did, and also there was another woman using a cane that was left behind too... Multiple times we had to yell at the group to let them know to wait up. ALSO I was not impressed with the fact that we sat and heard Ghost Stories about the Orpheum from ACROSS THE STREET!! As we could not even look IN the doors, I dont feel it should be one of the stops you list as a TOUR STOP. Then at the last stop, most of the doors were locked and there was a private party going on there.. I did not enjoy it and felt that it was cheap and not well planned... We could have sat in the BAR and heard ghost stories....

Nice time fun for everyone

Larry was a great tour guide. This worth the money.

Did Graceland tour today - tour guide was brilliant. Have 2 more tours booked with them for Elvis week so cant wait

It was nice....There was a lady that guided the tour but she also sang songs the whole time...it was different and enjoyable!!!!

2 tours, Graceland and Mojo with Sun Studios. Both well set up and covered the whole city. The bus driver and singer for Mojo were professional and funny.

Great little tour

Great way to visit Beale Street!

WOW! Great Tour!

Used to work there

Very informant , very enjoyable

Great company

Had fun and info

Didnt use this tour

Not worth the money. Did not visit the Lorraine Motel (the main reason i took tour) Never drove by a previous home owned by Elvis and a couple other places listed on Backbeat tours description. Peabody ducks you could not get up close to see.
