Backbeat Tours

How could we expect that. Our guide was professional musician Cecil Yanis. He sung everything which came from Memphis, show Memphis all historic places including famous Sun Records Studio. 3 hours tour on comfortable coach bus. Amazing 😍

We took the walking Ghost tour, and our guide Daniel was great. We heard stories about the ghosts that haunt Memphis locations like Ernestine and Hazel’s and he also wove in some of his favorite aspects of Memphis. It is definitely worth doing!

When in Memphis , this is the tour you need to take. We hope you get Cecil Yancey as your very musically talented and knowledgable tour guide, he even got one of Sam Phillips sons(Jerry), to step on the bus and talk to us. Thanks to Backbeat tours and Cecil.

Did the 90 minute tour. Bus ride is really bumpy. The singing was a good touch to keep it less boring between stops. Sometimes we stopped to look and other times it was a drive by. You need to add more women of Soul into your tour speech. Talk less about Ike Turner and more about Tina Turner, and the woman of Soul.

Highly reccommened. Great tour highlighting the musical history of Memphis, and showing how Gospel, Blues and country came together to create Rock and Roll. Big call out to Cecil our singing guide (as all guides are). Take the Sun studio tour option as well. Go to Graceland in the morning and take this tour in the afternoon, makes for a great day in Memphis
