5.00This was a great experience with great food! Taylor was knowledgeable, personable and very organized. The food was delicious. The history was intriguing. We highly recommend this tour. It is worth the money.
What else makes Memphis great? Food.

5.00Taylor really knows her food and the local food scene. A pitmaster and BBQ judge, she shared both interesting information and great stories about everything we ate. This was a walking tour with minimal walking, all on Beale St, so don't worry that you'll be burning off more calories than you consume. For us, the weather turned ugly (i.e. close-up lightning and a tornado watch), which meant the closure of a couple of the restaurants we were scheduled to visit. Taylor pivoted beautifully, arranging for our BBQ chicken wings to be brought from one of the restaurants that had to close and making a quick dessert substitution that actually gave us something tangible (luscious and whimsical fudge) to take home from our trip. We didn't feel we'd missed out on anything. The food itself was fabulous. My husband can't stop talking about Elvis's favorite hamburgers. I had a second chicken wing - and I am not a chicken wing fan - because it was one of the best pieces of chicken of any variety I've had. All of the restaurants we were able to visit had unique charm. Judging from their exteriors and what I've heard about them elsewhere, so did the two we didn't get to visit in person. This tour was a special treat and reminder that the culture of Memphis isn't limited to its indelible music.
Good choices on the food stops

5.00We had a great food tour on Beale Street. Our tour guide was not only knowledgeable about the cuisine but also shared a lot of Memphis and Beale Street history. We also learned about BBQ competitions that happen all over Tennessee. The food choices were excellent. Would recommend to others

5.00This tour was the highlight of our trip! Harper was incredible and so knowledgeable about the city. His tour made us realize we made the mistake of not making our stay in Memphis longer than two days - just means we’ll need to come back!
Great way to experience Beale St
