2 Hours & 30 Minutes
All year round

Memphis is one of America’s great music cities – famous for blues, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll influence which originated there. Immerse yourself in the worlds of Elvis Presley, B.B. King, and Johnny Cash. On your private walking tour of Beale Street, you will:

Meet your guide at the Hard Rock Cafe
Visit the legendary Peabody Hotel, where history was made with the signing of Elvis’ first contract with RCA and where Sam Phillips started his musical journey with the likes of Glen Miller.
See WDIA Radio Station, which has been continuously open since 1947, programmed entirely for African Americans. B.B. King and Rufus Thomas started their work at WDIA and it had a huge impact on Elvis
Stroll down Beale Street – a must-see attraction during your tour of Memphis as it’s one of the most famous streets in America. Your guide will point out to you the legends hidden in plain sight, including the Domino Lounge, Pee Wee’s Saloon, and BB King’s nightclub
Lastly, enjoy a drink at a local hot spot of your guide’s choosing, where you can immerse yourself in the truly local music scene of Beale Street.

On your Private Tour of Beale Street, you’ll learn the musical history of Memphis, the stars of the show, and their stories. You’ll find out who W.C. Handy was and the influence that Sam Phillips had on the journey of rock’n’roll, the blues, and the many famous musicians associated with these influential strains that have made Memphis famous for its music. Beale Street is in Downtown Memphis and runs from the Mississippi River to East Street, a distance of nearly 2 miles. Your tour finishes with a drink at a local haunt, where your guide will get you a drink (beer, house wine, coffee, or soda) and give you insight into the best place to indulge in Memphis’s music scene.
