Excellent for people who have limited time

Excellent tour for people who have limited time while traveling. I suggest that we spend less time in Beale street and add The civil rights museum as 2 hours in Beale street is too much

Graceland full day tour

It was a very long day but well worth it. Our bus driver was friendly and fun. The Graceland part was excellent. I liked the tour of the house, automobiles and airplanes. Sun studios was good but the stop at Beale Street was very disappointing. It was so run down and nothing worth seeing. Beale street should be eliminated from this tour. Overall a great tour.

A Wonderful, Safe Way to See Memphis, Graceland, Sun and Beale Street

What a great way to see Memphis if you are staying in Nashville. Our driver, Leonard, was terrific, and an excellent driver. The bus was highest-quality, with toilet. We stopped in both directions at a great place which welcomed us profusely. In Memphis, the Graceland stop really touched the heart, because it's not just the Graceland house, but there are a bunch of super Elvis museums as part of it--an unexpected treat. Sun Records, and Beale Street, are also top quality things to see and do. We also went to the Peabody Hotel and saw the marching of the ducks; this is a well known spectacle there. All in all, it was a great, fun, safe trip. Highly recommend!

Once in a lifetime experience

Travelling from Nashville was very pleasurable with movie King Creole movie playing on the way to Graceland and then followed by concert footage, behind the scenes and home filming and interviews with those close to Elvis. Having all the entry fees paid made it seamless to get into Graceland and see all it had to offer. Having time in Memphis was a bonus. Our bus driver was very pleasant and also reassuring that we would be well taken care of and we were. Thank you all.

Our tour was well...

Our tour was well organized, from the beginning to the end. Our tour guide, Leonard, was fantastic. Combining visits to Graceland, Sun Studios and Beale Street into one tour was a great experience..
