Memphis Road Tours is a small business originally formed in 1998 by Mike Freeman as Mike’s Memphis Tours. His tours have evolved over the years to add more sites as his research has revealed more information. In 2010, Sue joined with Mike, adding her expertise. Upon the death of Mike, Sue took over the reins and continues her research on a regular basis to promote the city’s music history. Memphis Road Tours has an exceptional reputation in Memphis for sharing accurately what you want to know.
