Memphis tour with Sun Studios

Well organised tour and a great way to see what Memphis has to offer. Special shout out to the guide Sam who was informative but hilarious as well. Sun Studios was nice to see but the Peabody stop was the highlight.

Memphis - Home of the Only ELVIS
Sonya_N, September 2026
It was fun, informative and for first timers to Memphis a nice introduction to the city. A prelude to Graceland tour this day with the inclusion to Sun Records was a perfect prelude.
