Walk along history
Perfect way to see Beale Street and gain an appreciation and understanding of the history of the people and events that shaped the region. Toured during the day and experienced the night life later. The tour stirred a desire to dive deeper into the history.

Great intro to Memphis history
Beautiful city full of history and the tour did a great job of showing you all of it! Directions were easy to follow as well!!

Sorry to miss it due the location of our ship.
Unfortunately the ship we were on was docked too far from Beale street for us to go on this tour. We had looked online and our ship was supposed to be docked close by but due to the rise in the river it was docked at a different location.

A little history loop to go with your bar crawl (wink)
Loved this geo located self paced walking tour. We were bundled up for the January weather and able to stop mid tour for a hot lunch on Beale street and then finish the tour while getting ready to walk to the Fed ex Forum for an event. Easy listening and informative.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Beale Street Experience Audio App Self Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Memphis.
How much does Beale Street Experience Audio App Self Guided Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $8 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Memphis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Beale Street Experience Audio App Self Guided Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Memphis is not rushed.
Is Beale Street Experience Audio App Self Guided Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Memphis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Beale Street Experience Audio App Self Guided Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Beale Street Experience Audio App Self Guided Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Beale Street Experience Audio App Self Guided Walking Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Memphis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Memphis and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beale Street Experience Audio App Self Guided Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Memphis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Memphis?
+
Memphis is music and food: Graceland with VIP access tiers, Sun Studio and Stax, Beale Street blues crawls, National Civil Rights Museum visits and barbecue tours through the pits. Graceland ticket tiers are confusing, so we weight clear inclusions. On Outty we rank every Memphis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Memphis Mojo Bus Tour, Taste of Downtown Memphis Food Tour, Memphis Signature Guided Brewery Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Memphis?
+
March to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Memphis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
