Awesome! The place is very cozy and they offer the guided tour until the end. The guide explains the history of the studio and its celebrities, while also playing the most characteristic Sun singles. Sincerely, in my opinion, the best museum in all of Memphis for its originality, guidance and conservation.

If you're a fan of rock 'n roll, you'll want to visit the place where it all started. Sun Studio is the birthplace of Elvis's music and was recording home to Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and many other music greats. The tour is very interesting and the guides are extremely knowledgeable and entertaining.

I didn't really expect too much from this stop off while in Memphis, especially having visited Graceland the day before & feeling let down by the Graceland Tour Staff!....Wow was I ever in for a surprise!!! Sun Records was the best part of our stop off in Memphis!!! I think our guide's name was Jane?..but she was a high energy, short, cute & highly knowledgeable treat!!! She really made you feel the relevance of the experience of being in the historical location where so many musical greats got their start!! I would definitely do this tour again!!!!!!! LOVED IT!!

It was probably worth going, because it's legendary... But honestly it's overrated considering the price of the ticket. They do have some cool exhibits but the museum portion is one small room, and the studio, while great in its own right, is basically just an empty room. Lots of history there, and there's some value in the guided tour, but it just doesn't seem worth the ticket to me. Money better spent would be a visit to the Stax museum over on McElmore Ave.

Love, love, love Sun Studio! What can I add about the place where so much marvelous music and history has been made? You can almost feel the ghosts passing through the studio. The tours start at the bottom of the hour and last around 20 minutes. We had a lovely and knowledgeable tour guide filling us in on a brief history of the opening of the studio in 1952 as well as Elvis Presley's subsequent discovery there. At the end of the tour, you're allowed to photograph and video all you want in the studio. I only wish I'd been allowed to linger just a little longer in the studio; I wasn't ready to leave this shrine that quickly!

One word. Amazing!

I would highly recommend visiting Sun Studio anytime you are in Memphis Tennessee! Out of all of the places that I visited when I was there Sun Studio was my absolute favorite. The staff is wonderful and the music history that they have in that building is unbelievable! 5 stars!!!!

If you love music then this is a must visit if you are in Memphis. In my opinion this is worth a visit over Graceland even. The importance of this place in the history of music is unrivaled and without we wouldn't have music as we know it. The birthplace of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and many more Sun Studio brought us the music we know today.

Get there early or buy your tour ahead of time online as they do sell out. Also, for the musicians out there it's still a functional studio at night, meaning you can stand in the same spot and use the same microphone as Elvis if you wish.
