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..."
