5.00This is way more than a food tour. Our guide Taylor talked about the history of Beale Street and even took us to some unique bars that weren’t even part of the tour. She was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the food as well - from prep to process to outcome!

5.00Entertaining. Her guide was very knowledgeable. It is freezing in Memphis, so my friend and I were the only two people and she treated us as professionally as if she had a whole group. It will be a memorable thing that we did on this trip. And we did a lot.
Great experience!!!

5.00What a great experience to kickoff our trip to Memphis! Harper not only introduced us to some of the best bbq in Memphis, but he also sprinkled in Memphis’s history and recommendations for our visit on places to visit and other places to eat. It was a great time and can not recommend this tour enough!
Excellent food tour with BBQ and other Memphis delicacies!
