⭐ Five Stars - The Most Authentic and Captivating Tour of Our Lives! To the management and staff of Sun Studio, As long-time, seasoned travelers who have taken countless sightseeing tours all over the world for years, we have reached a point where we rarely expect to be genuinely moved by an attraction. This tour, however, was an absolute revelation. We can confidently say we have never experienced a tour as authentic and utterly captivating as our visit to Sun Studio. A special and heartfelt thank you goes to our guide, Hurley. Hurley is more than a tour guide; he is a phenomenal storyteller. His passion, knowledge, and energy were so immense that he didn't just recount history—he literally transported us back to the moment where rock and roll was born. The experience was deeply immersive and carried us away completely. Standing in that legendary room, hearing the stories told by Hurley, we truly had goosebumps as we felt the palpable spirit of the past—the raw creativity and musical revolution—surrounding us. Sun Studio is a must-see for its history, but Hurley made it a truly unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Hurley, for sharing the soul of this incredible place with us. We highly recommend this tour—and Hurley—to anyone visiting Memphis!

A Must-Visit for Music History Lovers Sun Studio is a small but mighty landmark packed with musical legacy. Standing in the very room where legends like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis began their careers is nothing short of awe-inspiring. It’s amazing to think how such a modest space helped shape the sound of American music. The tour is well-organized and informative, offering a few fascinating stories and original memorabilia that bring the studio’s history to life. Just a heads-up—it's a compact venue, so don’t expect a long visit. You’ll likely be in and out within an hour, but every minute is worth it. Tip: Be sure to book your time slot in advance, as it can fill up quickly. Despite its size, Sun Studio delivers a powerful experience that’s well worth the stop for anyone visiting Memphis.

Me and my son recently visited Sun Studio, as part of my sons 21st birthday celebrations. We weren’t disappointed in the slightest. My son is a guitar player so this was an important visit for us. We were shown around by tour guide Mark Edgar Stuart, who was just superb! We asked him plenty of questions and his knowledge was unreal. Mark also let my son play guitar in the studio which was a very special moment and one I’ll never forget. Anyone visiting Sun Studio, ask for Mark and you’ll have the best time. Loved every minute.

Had a great time! Worth every penny. Lots of good stuff in there to see. My only issue was that our tour group was way too big. Hard to see and kinda cramped.

Nostalgic look at back in the early years of the Rock and Roll superstars. A must visit for the devout Elvis fans. Good informative and entertaining tour.
