We're the only tour company in town that puts Memphis' musical heritage in the hands of real musicians. We won't just talk about music, we'll play it live for you!

BACKBEAT IS HISTORY

We wrote the book on Memphis history. Let us show you another side of Memphis as we entertain you with stories of this captivating river town and its people.

Backbeat is Memphis

As unique and unconventional as Memphis itself, our tours are the only way to truly experience this amazing city. One of our passengers said it best: "I felt like a part of Memphis."

Backbeat is Fun

Every tour is an entertainment extravaganza, complete with music, comedy, and laughter. Grab the bongos or a tambourine and join the fun! There's always a whole lotta shakin' going on.

Reviews

"I can't think of a better way to see Memphis. I am so thankful that I decided to take the Mojo Music tour. Not only was it a fabulous time - I would have had no concept of exactly how history rich Memphis was without it. Jessica at ticketing was friendly and beyond helpful & our tour guide/musician ...really shined..."
