Graham Winchester's tour is great! It is entertaining and funny. Graham even played piano for us. He is very good. Sun Studio is an amazing place where several stars were born!
Elvis made his very first recording here ! how cool is that. a lot of history in this tiny little building
Wow! Legendary... One of the most fun and informative tours I've ever done in my life! You must still be here for the Memphis!!!
A must if you visit Memphis, here was born rock n 'roll. Good guided tour and lots of merch to buy.
The guy presenting is the show himself on what could easily pass for a small museum. The bar is nice too.
Great tour of the place where rock n roll was born! Even touched and took photos with a microphone that Elvis Presley used!
It was a very good historical lesson of how the music industry evolved in the Memphis area.
Amazing! Lots of history! Tour guide was fabulous! Would definitely recommend this tour!!
A lot of music history here, it gave me goosebumps. So glad i came here. Be careful parking in the back though, someone's car was broken into while we were inside.
Great tour! Anyone interested in the beginning of rock would love this!
Great tour. Must do for anyone into the beginnings of R&R! Tour guide was entertaining and informative. Go.
Beautiful, the same place from 1954 ..... when Elvis recorded his first song ... Wonderful!
Very cool place. Definitely take the tour if you go.
It's an awesome place, in a awesome town, with awesome people. They let me hang out after the tour and play my guitar in the studio and even gave me a free coke! One of the guys even drove me down to Beale St cause I missed my ride. Just an cool place. Will be returning next year. MEMPHIS ROCKS!!!
This was an awesome tour. Our tour guide was not only informative but entertaining. It was great. Highly recommend to any history buffs.
Maybe one of the most underrated historical monuments in all of American. An entire culture was conceptualized all in this little building.
If you love the music of the 1950s you just have to go here
Don t try to find parking around the back of the building. The lots are owned by UTennessee Medical School and their police force will have your car towed (friendly tip from someone who works in one of the buildings). Also, please don t speed through the lots. Scientists are often walking to or from work and not thinking about tourists NEEDING to see the studio.
One of the best tours I have ever been on. It is a necessity for any musician to visit.
Amazing stories and memorabilia of the origins of rockabilly
Small but mighty. See where Elvis started and where Cash, Orbison, and many others visited. Where U2 recorded "Rattle and Hum". The walls drip with history and if you are a fan of Rock N' Roll you will not be disappointed.
Great guide, cool to see birthplace of so much good music.
Super nice staff and such a cool place! Good coffee and great atmosphere. Even though it s super touristy it s also great for locals to hangout and relax and grab a coffee and a candy bar.
Cool place lots of history. Loved the tour guide Lahna, made the tour fun.
Enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide taught us more in 30 minutes than I've learned in a long time. Great stories in an authentic setting...the studio where Rock and Roll began!
Must-see if you are a fan of Elvis or American roots music. Small and can get crowded on the weekends
Such a great tour. Grahm our tour guide was awesome!
Took the 12 noon tour on a Tuesday..It was ALOT of people. Felt a tiny bit rushed, but the guide was so wonderful it made up for it.
It was good to visit, but it is old and there of small. A nice piece of history for Memphis.
The world famous Sun Studio! Take the tour & get a history lesson!!!
Great piece of music history. Staff were great. Vibe was great. So much fun to record there!
Great tour. Great guide and very informative. A must see in Memphis.
Very interesting. The tour guide was friendly and seemed enthusiastic about it. It's not too time consuming, approximately 1-2 hours. Decent area downtown with easy parking.
Must do in memphis! Knowledgeable, funny guides; nice gift shop and soda fountain (good milkshakes), cool apparel.
One of the best tours I have ever been on! Awesome!!
Very good tour! Very informative tour guide telling you the history of Sam Phillips and Sun Records. Many great artists have performed here. It truly is sacred ground!
Such a cool place!! The best tour I've probably ever been on.
Very cool place to visit with a lot of history. The tour has way too many people for the space, I felt like we were in a can of sardines.
Cheesy tour, but an amazing place in history that should not be missed
Worth every can't. This is a must for music fans. Our guide was brilliant and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend
Sancta sanctorum, walhalla, gotha, eden, apex, and all that refers to the maximum of maximums
Holy place of pilgrimage for anyone who says music lover!
Think of a total emotion, it is nothing compared
You are totally catapulted into a parallel dimension, a stargate.
Everything is strictly original
The microphone of Elvis's first recordings
Johnny Cash's guitar
Jerry Lee's plan
The Sam Phillips studio, the original door
Mind-boggling vinyl, some even with the same prices, but amply justified by the historicity and uniqueness of the copy.
For those who do not like music it is exaggerated, but believe me, when I found myself with the first recording of Elvis in the left and the first of Cash in the right, I could not hold back the tears
It feels like a greedy child in the best pastry in the world, with every dessert available
It is an experience that remains in your heart
I forgot, amazing gadgets
I recommend taking a nice coffee, to drink at the counter, maybe sitting on the stool where he usually sat Johnny or Elvis, in red leather, with the name embroidered .....
Better to stop here, the emotions come back ......
A must see for when you're in Memphis. The tour was great. An emotional experience all the way around.
Such an awesome experience. The tour guide was amazibg. Such history
Do not miss a tour here if you come to Memphis. Top tour in the area.
Sun Studio is a must when in memphis. However as the studio is so small they need to make the groups going through allot smaller. We were cramped in the room upstairs and not quite able to see the images as the guide told the stories. We loved our tour guide he had lots of energy. After paying $14 for a ticket to stand in a room and move in small circles I find it awkward that they ask for tips post tour.
Great tour guide! High energy and informative. Amazing music came from this small building!
Got to do this while in Memphis. Birth place of rock n roll
Very interesting! Tour isn't super long, but lots of information! I didn't realize so many music stars started at Sun! Be sure to ask to go upstairs!
Another must see and do while in Memphis. Incredible history. Very knowledgeable tour guide. A wonderful experience.
One of a handful of musical meccas in the region. If you are a music lover it is definitely worth the admission.
This is one of the coolest things to do and often overlooked. If you are a fan of early rock and roll... don't miss out on this.
Really nice but a little far from Elvis Presley Boulevard.Very nice people
Very nice we took the tour and learned a lot about Rock and Roll and the blues had a great young lady for a guide
Good visit but a little bit crowded to really enjoy since the place is pretty small
Real deal! It was exciting for me to visit. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed. Great! gift shop.
Great leadership, nice Kramen in the record corner - simply iconic
Simply awesome!
Sun Studios is a legendary, must stop part of Memphis. You can just feel the energy and vibe of all the history!
Very cool to visit this place since it has some great history. Elvis was here
Talk about a step back in time, this tour was so amazing to actually walk on the same floors as Elvis was a dream come true, and our tour guide Graham Winchester was very knowledgeable very talented, and very friendly if you happened to visit sun studios I would ask for Graham!! Thanks Graham for the best tour!!
This place rocks! Friendly staff, so much old school music history, lots of artifacts, and plenty to learn about the artists who recorded here as well as the man behind it all - Sam Phillips! 5 stars
Must see this place while in Memphis! Great music and Memphis history.
Had a great tour around the sun studio that holds a lot of great memories.
