The trip was great!! The problem we had was getting dropped off at The Country Music Hall of Fame on a Saturday Just when a hockey game was letting out and Broadway is shut down!!!! We couldn’t get a ride back to our hotel and we were exhausted and my husband is handicapped so walking was out. He was exhausted from getting around Graceland. I know we were not the only ones basically stranded because no Uber lift or cabs could get to us!! We ended up having to get price gouged by a by chance checkered cab that finally happened by. $50 for a can to go literally 7 blocks all because you dumped us in the middle of traffic jams!! Ruined our evening! Dumped at 10pm didn’t get to the hotel until 11:30!! 7 blocks!!!! Next time we rent a car and take ourselves!! Probably cheaper!

Driver "Frank" was very informative and efficient driver. Got us everywhere on time and even with a delay because of an accident. The tour itself was fantastic. Would reccommend highly to anyone remotely interested in the Elvis phenomenon.

Charlotte_B

What can you say about Elvis, the king of all music without Elvis there would have been no Beatles that’s how much of an influence he had. We had a fantastic tour and must mention our driver too as he was great

Had a fantastic time on day trip to Memphis, Frank was excellent tour guide nothing was too much trouble I would highly recommend this trip long day but worth every penny

PaulWat67

A brilliant trip and a truly incredible day that encompasses everything to do with the home of Elvis and his family, but mire than that you get to see a variety of museums across the street from Graceland. If you travel to Tennessee and love music then this is a must do, especially as you thrn go onto Memphis itself

Duane_B

Terrific tour. The Sun studios was a highlight- amazing history. Of course, one should not miss the opportunity to visit Graceland and the King.

Timothy_P

Graceland itself and the Memorial Gardens. Have always read about and seen tv stories relating to the life of Elvis. To actually see it for ourselves was really satisfying and we truly enjoyed having this opportunity to visit.

Randi_M

The tour itself was good and went well until we loaded up in Memphis after few hours free time and a group of women from Ireland that was on our bus where loud beyond words, singing, drinking and vaping and blocking the way to the bathroom as several were seated at the back and invited the others from front to join them. The ear piercing noise went on for at least 45 minutes out of a 3.5-4 hour ride home before I asked them if they could have some respect for the others aboard and I was told “no”. They proceeded to say that when they booked trip it said it was a party bus. No one else could hear the tv screens playing the documentary about Elvis. The trip was not cheap and I didn’t feel the rest of the passengers should have had to listen to the nonsense. Nothing was said to these ladies about the vaping which I would think is not aloud!

Carlos_S

Our ride was pleasant and we had plenty of time to enjoy Graceland and Sun Studios. Sun Studios was our favorite part of the trip! Without Sun Studios so much of this history would not have happened.

Frank_O

It was even better than my expectations! Ther was so much to see at Graceland - the mansion, Elvis’s cars, his jumpsuits, his influence on other rock stars, his home videos, - just too much to list. And you really get immersed in the music history at Sun Studios, and also get a sample of Beale St Memphis. I highly recommend this tour!
