4.00Ample time allowance at each stop, the tour was paced correctly. Graceland was great. The mansions is a happy trippy 60’s & 70’s time warp - with VIP access you can repeat the mansion tour if too many crowds in the way during the original tour. Museums all nicely curated. Comfortable bus ride 3h45 min to Graceland- bring an extra clothing layer because it can get quite chilly. Pricey but would recommend. Downtown Memphis appeared somewhat downtrodden and unappealing.
A must must do!!!

5.00Being an Elvis fan this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We wanted to experience Nashville, however, my biggest reason for going there was to get to see Graceland. It was well organized the tour guide Frank was wonderful. You had time to see all the museums, house and the gravesites just touched my heart. I would recommend if your tour is second to stay within the building where they drop you off and see as many of the museums that you can before going across the street this way when you come back, you will also have plenty of time to eat because there is time, but we just didn’t time it as well as I would’ve liked. Also, they do stop on the way after two hours at a rest stop. Bathrooms were very clean and there were plenty of snacks, coffee, etc. to buy. We did make the mistake of buying it at the hotel before we left because we were unsure if we were gonna stop and it cost us probably double of what we would’ve paid so I think that should be added that they do stop on the way there and on the way back I loved that the Elvis movies and concerts were playing the whole way there and back. Great experience. I would have regretted if we didn’t do it. Also bus was clean comfortable. There was nothing about this experience that I would complain about! it’s a must do if you’re not a fan and it’s a must must do if you are!!!!!!
