Frequently Asked Questions:

~ Is the tour "family friendly?"
Absolutely! Our tours are designed to bring out the kid in all of us. All of our dialogue is family friendly and children under the age of 6 ride free!

~ Can I bring an instrument on the bus and/or sing along with the musician?
Passengers are invited to participate on every tour. This is your chance to sing, play, or shout! You are welcome to bring your own instruments on the bus and "sit in" on your favorite songs - just ask your guide when you board and the two of you can work something out. Your tour operator disclaims all liability for the damage, destruction, or loss of any musical instruments you bring on board the bus. So, please, for your own sake, don't bring an instrument that is one-of-a-kind or holds great sentimental value.

~ Can I take food and beverages on the bus?
Yes!

~ Does the bus have special accommodations for physically challenged passengers?
Unfortunately, no. However, our tour guide and bus driver will do everything that they can to assist physically challenged passengers.

What Others Are Saying:

"I just wanted to drop you a little note and tell you how much fun we had on Sunday on the Hound Dog Tour and the visit to Graceland. As you know we had one child, one teenager and my sister is not a big Elvis fan, but we all had a great time. Madison, the eight year old now is in love with Elvis! Good luck with your business. We would recommend your company very highly!" Becky L., Amite, Louisiana

"This was our first time in Memphis and we loved it -- except for coming back with a few extra pounds. One of the highlights of our trip was taking the Hound Dog Tour with Backbeat Tours. Our guide, "Memphis" intermingled playing guitar and singing Elvis greats on our tour bus while pointing out the sites. I learned a lot more about Elvis and his life while I was enjoying hearing the great songs. "Memphis" was an absolute delight!"
