Taste of Downtown Memphis Food Tour

Taylor’s knowledge of food and history was incredible! She was friendly and personable. It’s hard to pick a favorite food, but Dyer’s hamburgers were outstanding!

Samples were good and history was just enough. Felt a little disorganized though. Host was a few minutes late to the meeting point and we had to wait for a few guests -- nothing serious just set a little bit of a negative tone. We had a great mix of 13 tourists and everyone got along just fine. At the first restaurant the host held the door for everyone so once inside we didn't know where to go. I think her dad was supposed to direct us -- they were tag-teaming -- but he was busy elsewhere. There was also no direction at a few of the stops as to how/where to order drinks. I just felt like I was having to figure things out too often when you expect to have it figured out for you on a tour. The mix of samples was good and I was so full I couldn't finish at the last stop. We had a weird shopping opportunity thrown in. Supposed to have lots of old timey toys & stuff. It had lots of retro candy but every time I turned a corner I was faced with rude socks or t-shirts. I didn't spend much time in there. I guess we're used to moving a little quicker on tours because we felt like we were waiting a LOT. Almost every stop we finished our food then waited and waited while the hosts visited. Could easily (and happily) cut 30 minutes off the tour by just moving along a little more efficiently. We do food tours a lot and this is the first one where we felt like it dragged. Maybe because we're in the South! 😉 I would still recommend this tour to people. Just know what you're signing up for.

Jordan did a great job telling us about the history of the area. The food and drink was excellent! Highly recommended tour. Dyers was the bomb!

This was a fun tour. We Enjoyed all the different tastes. Especially loved the fried cheeseburgers and gelato

My mom and I had so much fun on this tour! Taylor was an amazing guide and had so much knowledge about the food we tasted and Memphis history. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn interesting facts while enjoying great food!

This was our first trip to Memphis. I loved the idea of a food tour. Our tour guide, Harper, was knowledgeable and fabulous. He had a great energy level. The food was delicious and unique. We also got facts and history on Memphis as we walked to the different restaurants. I had some food restrictions and Harper was able to substitute on the spot. He also gave recommendations on local restaurants to try. I definitely would do it again. I would advise to wear comfortable walking shoes and check the weather as well as bring an appetite.

Harper was the best. His knowledge of everything local is extensive. He was witty, informative, and entertaining. He exemplified southern hospitality. This is a must do tour for anyone coming to memphis.

Taylor was awesome. Did a wonderful job with the History of Beale Street. She was so helpful in most places that we tasted she was the Host & waitress. I wish she would have let give her a Tip. Great way to experience Beale Street.

Taylor was absolutely knowledgeable from the food to history of the restaurants to Beale st. to history of Memphis. She’s lived there all her life so what a perfect person to do this fun job for a business!

Great experience. Our guides were Fantastic!! Great food, learned history of Memphis. Everyone had a wonderful time.
