Biele street food tour - It’s great and learns a lot of history at the same time. Close restaurants so that the distance to walk is not bad.

Best food/history tour - The best way to begin a vacation in a city is with a food tour. Taylor did not disappoint... the history of Memphis/Beale Street was amazing, food was excellent, and company was interesting. Would never experience Beale street on your own the same way. Best tour ever. We had burgers, gumbo, ribs, chicken wings, and wonderful fudge to end the tour. We also received a list of things todo in Memphis and restaurants. Was wonderful and made you feel part of this city.

Great food, wonderful guide! - I’ve been to Memphis more times than I can count, and still really enjoyed our tour with Taylor! If you’ve not been before, this is a great introduction to Beale Street, and you will get fed - a lot of tasty offerings. With optional adult beverages available, you’ll have the opportunity to make new friends as well. I highly recommend this activity to everyone visiting Beale Street.

A must do while in Memphis! - Taylor, our tour guide, has crafted the perfect tour, full of historical information about Beale St as well as detailed tips on getting the perfect skin on smoked wings. The food was fabulous, (not healthy)... which was just what the doctor ordered after a night of imbibing at a juke joint the evening prior. Thanks for a great experience!
