Great tour and unforgettable mojo. (Not centered on Elvis but on the studio and its history. Hints at some of the less fortunate questions of the Elvis success without delving into the negatives.) Sodas and coffee available before the hourly tour. Yes, you get to be in the actual studio space.

I m not typically into tours but this was different and worth it if you appreciate music roots. Sun Studios is a tiny recording studio, still in use, that left a HUGE footprint on American music history. The tour is really a story hour, telling the tale of the founder s goal to capture and amplify the music of Memphis. It culminates in the one-room studio where Elvis, Johnny Cash and more stood - with the X still on the floor. Pretty special if

If you happen to be an Elvis fan (which I'm not), this has to be on your checklist. If you are a music fan in general, this is $15 well-spent. It's a guided tour (and, should Graham be your guide, you should enjoy this thoroughly), so justified the cost of admission.

Good food, but the tour is the main attraction. It's short but sweet, and very entertaining. You learn a lot and have a good laugh. There is so much history there, and the tour goes deep into it. Touching the same microphone as Elvis was also really fun, as well as standing exactly where he stood. I totally recommend it if you love music and history, or just want a good time.

I love this place!!! My wife and I went on our Anniversary and it was worth every cent... I mean the original recording studio of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and so many more! Getting to stand in the actual studio where all these legends made their greatest work. Amazing! The tour guide was excellent and the memorabilia was incredible! I highly recommend Sun Studio if you are ever in the area.

Really cool place, awesome that they left all the original recording equipment and instruments. Can't believe how many famous artists have recorded there, Elvis, Johnny Cash, and the million dollar quartet...................... I would definitely stop to take the tour if you're in Memphis, it's the best tour for your money.

Super awesome place to tour and look around! History on every wall and in every corner. Tours given every 30 mins. $14 per person. One hour tour is very informative and lots of fun to do. Tour ends in the actual studio section of the building and at the end you're able to hold and take pictures with the vocal mic stand used in the heyday that Sam Phillips bequeathed after his death. Milkshakes and sodas offered in lobby as well as tons of records and assorted merchandise. Highly recommend!

Top shelf!!! Minute we walked in we were greeted and treated with jovial respect. Loved the tour. We got there at 5 took the 5:30. It started on time, was entertaining and fun. I loved the exhibits. Old records, tons of guitars and the studio recording history stuff. There is no opportunity to record your own CD though, unless you hire the studio. No big loss, it was great anyway.

$14 tour. Takes about an hour. Free Shuttle ($2 tip appreciated) constantly loops and can pick you up / drop you off at Graceland or Beale street. Parking behind building, or on cul-de-sac street behind building - seems to be used mostly by hospital staff, but I parked on it with no problems (it looks nasty, but i didn't see any signs of cars being broke into). Tour is thorough and I would recommend it.

Sun Studio was outstanding. An interesting tour of a well maintained landmark of American history. The tour guides are passionate and we'll prepared. I highly recommend it.

While your in the area, stop in and visit Edge Motor Museum down the street. A beautiful museum, filled with outstanding examples of American Muscle cars with exhibits helping to understand their place in modern history. A great bookend to the Sun Museum.
