King guide you to the famous Sun Studio, considered the birthplace of rock ‘n roll itself. As the day comes to an end, unwind at the famous Beale Street, where top musicians started out their career, and enjoy live music at one of the local theatres. You'll meet all sorts of visitors, and see why Memphis is one of the best destinations for bachelorette parties.
