What customers say
I lived in Memphis for 25 years and never did this tour. I returned to Memphis for my son’s graduation and had a few extra hours to spend with my two boys and we decided to check out this incredible museum. The place where Elvis walked in as a Humes High School student and paid his own money to make a record.
If you’re a fan of classic American music, rock ‘n’ roll history, or simply great storytelling, Sun Records is an absolute treasure. It’s not just a record label — it’s the birthplace of a cultural revolution.
Goodness Gracious ……. A real must do venue for music fans when visiting Memphis. Its history and role in nurturing the cradle of rock ‘n roll is, in itself, enough of a reason to visit. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and professional which helped us to make the most of our visit.
The Birth place of Rock ‘n’ Roll! By far the best experience I had in Memphis. This place holds so much history and to be in the same room with some of the original artefacts where Sam Phillips discovered some of the greatest artist of all time. The studio is small and only small groups can go through at a time.
