The overall tour was slow, the music helped break it up, but you only drive by places. You do not get out and walk around much at all. My wife and I were not impressed.

Mojo bus tour with Sun records
Perfect way to see Memphis and learn some history in a comfortable bus with live music. Stopped at SUN RECORDS, very cool to see where Elvis recorded his first single. They did a great job, Highly recommend this tour!

Very entertaining tour!
What a fun tour. Our guide David was full of information and music. We learned so much from him. He was really entertaining. This wasn't just a boring bus tour with a guide droning on - it was really fun and informative. Highly recommended and our driver Michael was terrific too. Don't miss this.
