We took the BBQ Tour with Harper on a Tuesday afternoon. First of all, Harper is an excellent guide. He sent a message the day before to confirm the meeting location and attached some local recommendations. On the day of the tour, Harper met us as directed, with a giant whisk. He has a great deal of expertise related to Memphis as well as BBQ so his commentary was great throughout the tour. He followed up afterwards with more recommendations. We walked to a number of places around downtown for food samplings, which were substantial. There is a lot of walking (the first was the longest) but the stops are long enough to recover and the segments got shorter as the tour progressed. We enjoyed the food, especially the bbq and gumbo. The stop for fudge was nice as well. This is one of the better food tours that we've taken, and we've taken a lot. It's also nice that this is a family owned/operated business. According to Harper, they are considering a several new tours in the future. We highly recommend this tour and this company.

Harper was fantastic!! And the food was unreal! Go HUNGRY!!! So much yummy food. Really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend!

Best part of our tour! Harper and Taylor share much more than great food! They love Memphis…share it well! If you visit once or 85 times, this is a must! Not a more friendly, informative or professional group around. Our tour and yours will be Taylor made (tailor made). As hostess for my group and first time visitor, they even assisted me with so much more. Take your appetite with you and enjoy the tour!

Taylor was so fun and knowledgeable! She was well known and liked everywhere we went. I would highly recommend this tour!

Harper is a life long Memphian and provides a great history tour along with some very tasty food selections . Harper Has special knowledge in the area of BBQ, as he is a certified judge! His upbeat personality made the tour extra fun. We had never been to Memphis so thistour checked more than one box for us. Ne sure to come hungry.

BBQ Tour. In short, this is a MUST. Amazing food and a fun, friendly local who teaches you the history of the city and the “behind the scenes” facts about the touristy favorites on Beale. This tour will make you appreciate the city so much more. Start your trip by doing this tour, because you will get so many phenomenal recommendations of places to visit while in the area. If you’re even considering this slightly, allow me to tell you, DO IT!! You can thank me later.

We did the BBQ tour and had a great time learning about the history and culture of Memphis. Harper was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The selection of restaurants provided a good cross section of various styles of Memphis BBQ.

We took the BBQ tour and our only regret was that we didn’t do it the first day!!!!! Harper was fab & showed us all kinds of other places to eat & visit!! Best way to learn the city and try all the yummy local delights!!!

We did the bbq tour and it was excellent. It was a walking tour and does involve a lot of walking, but it wasn’t too much. We went to multiple restaurants and enjoyed everything placed in front of us! This tour was also very informative of Memphis history. We highly recommend this tour...make sure to do it early in your stay!

Harper overdelivered with his incredible knowledge of Memphis history, culture, and of course BBQ. Had a great time and recommend it highly to any carnivore.

I did the BBQ tasting tour on January 15, and although I was the only person booked (don't be spooked, January is off off season for tourism) I had an amazing time. My guide was Harper and he was awesome. Not only did I learn a ton about BBQ and its history, I also got a history lesson about Memphis. My favourite place was Central BBQ. The ribs were incredible and the pulled pork nachos were heavenly. The Blues City Cafe also had outstanding ribs and the best bbq beans I've ever had. PIG on Beale was tasty, as well, but I preferred the other two. If you want an engaging tour in one of America's best food cities, you can't do any better than this.

Such a great, well-worth, delicious, fun tour. Perfect for visitors of Memphis or locals. Harper was a GREAT guide. So full by the end (actually by Mid-way through). Gained so much knowledge and appreciation for Memphis and BBQ!

This tour is a must for anyone new to the city. On this tour we were able to try several different styles of BBQ. Our Tour Guide Harper had excellent knowledge about the restaurants and their process of preparing the food. He also added his own personal experiences when going over the history of the city. This tour was informative and delicious! We circled back to re-visit several of the restaurants on the tour. I am glad we did the tour our first day in town because it helped us to plan the activities and restaurants we wanted to visit. We had a Blast on the tour! We will have to come back just to finish trying the different restaurants, amazing food, & activities. This tour is definitely worth it!!

My mom and I went to Memphis on a quest for some good BBQ and to celebrate her 79th Birthday because she LOVES good BBQ. We picked Memphis because it has a reputation for good food and even better BBQ. I am so glad we decided to take the 'Tastin Round Town Memphis BBQ Tour' instead of going out on our own like we had planned. The tour began with us walking to three restaurants on Beale Street and then we were transported by van to three BBQ restaurants in other areas. We would never have found or tried the places on our itinerary; not to mention some interesting BBQ dishes at a couple of the restaurants that we never would have tried had we not toured with 'Tastin Round Town.' There were14 people on the tour which we did not expect, but our tour guide, Lance handled it like the pro he is and it was loads of fun. Even with a group this size, the portions were surprisingly larger than expected. We toured and tasted BBQ dishes at six different restaurants, so needless to say, by the end of the tour, we were all quite happy and quite stuffed. More importantly, my mother LOVED it! Like I said, she loves good BBQ.....and Memphis has GREAT BBQ!!! We also took the O' Tappy Day Saturday Brewery and Spirits Crawl which was also with Lance. I am looking forward to my next visit to Memphis and can't wait to take these and other tours with 'Tastin Round Town.' I highly recommend both these tours to anyone who likes good food and GREAT BBQ and great beer.

As others have stated, this walking tour was well worth it -- very good to excellent food choices, not too strenuous (even for someone who'd had knee replacement recently...), interesting and on point narrative as we walked and dined. I do differ with those who felt the amount offered was enough to let you skip dinner that night. I wasn't exactly hungry afterwards, but was a little disappointed in the amount provided. Wish it had started earlier in the day (it started at 2 PM); if it had, I would have made dinner reservations for that night for sure. As it was, the start time was a little odd and not conducive to smoothly flowing meals for the day. Having said that, I do recommend this tour and would partake of the others should I make a return visit to Memphis.
