We have to thank the Trip Advisor contributors who recommended this Tour as we may never have found it. What a fantastic time we had! As advised we did the Tour on our first day to familiarise ourselves with Memphis and it worked a treat. Not only did we learn about Memphis food but we also got a history lesson... More

This was a great tour for a first-time visitor to Memphis. The guides were knowledgable, and you feel like you're on a food adventure with friends! There are so many options for enjoying local food, but this tour takes the guessing out of it. I highly recommend it; it's well worth the value! More

This is a great way to experience Memphis food and learn about its history. We went to six different restaurants and had six unique dishes. The restaurants we went to were not mainstream and we would not have found them using google. This trip is a great, concise way to get a taste of Memphis and learn about the food... More

We cook alot ourselves and enjoy the best a city has to offer. We hunted down this operation and talked to Carol beforehand...booked it! When we were met by Lance at the hotel and (just the 3 of us) toured the 6 restaurants---- he gave us history, legends, cooking style info, tips, comparisons, etc. Yes we were quickly stuffed but...

I've lived in Memphis for four years, never really tasted it's barbecue. (Man, I've been missing out!) This the first tour I've ever been on, and it was sensational. Tour guides Carol and Lance Silkes are friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We visited six restaurants: Pig on Beale, Blues City Cafe (They had an SWEET Apple Dumpling dessert, A MUST GET),... More

If you are looking for a very interesting and fun afternoon along with some great food, then this is the tour for you. Our tour guide, Lance, was great fun and very knowledgeable. We toured 6 different restaurants, learned how different restaurants prepare the various types of BBQ and the smoking process, as well as local history. It was all... More

My boyfriend and I decided to check out the Tastin Round Town BBQ Tour after a Memphis basketball game last weekend and we had a blast! The fun started when we loaded up in the van with LimoLance as our guide. He is full of BBQ knowledge and very funny and entertaining! Our first stop was Cozy Corner where we... More

My daughter and I loved the tour not only because the food was awsome, but the hospitality was exponential! We will definitely will be taking friends on the tour. You can request for a private tour or meet new friends. An added bonus you get on the tour is learning about historical landmarks, culture and the history behind the resturants... More

We had the pleasure of having Kevin as our host on this wonderful food tasting tour. Kevin was very friendly and knowledgeable - we went to the most interesting places with diverse menu - from pulled pork BBQ nachos, 911 burger to yummy apple dumplings! Highly recommended. And ps you won't have any room for dinner afterwards! More

My husband and I took the Taste of Downtown Memphis Tour during our recent Memphis visit and had a great time. We usually try to take a food tour when we're visiting major cities and this is one of the best we've encountered. Carol was a great guide and had lots of anecdotes about the city to share. The food... More
