5.008 years ago I visited Memphis and took the Elvis tour with Brandon, it was hands down the highlight of my trip to Memphis. So when I returned in September 2025 I knew I had to experience that again, this time booking the Memphis tour. Brandon has not changed, he has the most amazing energy, knowledge and personality which made for another trip highlight. He is also the loveliest and humble man. My friend and I are doing all the usual Memphis activities but Brandon’s Rock & Roll tour is an absolute must if you’re in Memphis. Book now!!
Fun and educational!

5.00The Memphis tour was the highlight of our trip! Brandon made sure we saw everything on our list and more! He knew people everywhere we went and even took us on the roof of The Peabody for a bird’s eye view of Memphis and the Mississippi River. Brandon was so knowledgeable about Memphis history. This tour is a must-see on your Memphis trip to learn from a local and have a safe, enjoyable, and entertaining experience!

5.00Driver Brandon exceeded expectations in every way. We wanted to get out of downtown (save that for later!) and get the Big Picture of the city, with its variety of neighborhoods and sights. B. has an extraordinary knowledge of the music and related history and can spontaneously take you to the further reaches in any direction you wish to go. If you love Memphis already his tour will expand it…
Totally enjoyed!

5.00Brandon showed us parts of Memphis that most people don't see. He was very flexible in the itinerary based on our likes. He also knew the older parts of town along with the popular places. He took his time showing us his city.

5.00Our tour guide Brandon was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city of Memphis as the history of its music. He shaped our tour to match our interests and was very entertaining as well as informative. He loves Memphis and loves sharing his passion with the people who take his tours. We have taken a lot of city tours over the years and this is one of the few that we will remember.

5.00This tour was so informative. Brandon is an amazing tour guide! and fun to learn from about Memphis. He is so knowledgeable, making it comfortable every step of the way. We saw places we would have never seen without this tour outside of Graceland, etc. I would definitely do another tour with this company. It is clear they care about their clients and offer many variations and topics.
