On this 75-minute walk, a local Memphis storyteller takes you beyond the neon signs to discover the musicians, colorful characters, historic buildings, strange details, and local legends hiding in plain sight. You’ll also get firsthand recommendations for where to hear live music, grab a bite, and keep exploring after the tour. With a maximum of just 12 guests, it’s a relaxed, personal introduction to Beale Street—and a great way to start your Saturday in Memphis.
