3.00The days itinerants good. The driver was super friendly and helpful however the actual vehicle was an old bus which was uncomfortable and had poor air con. The toilet door was broekn and kept flapping open until the driver taped it shut. The DVD player kept freezing and to top it all the bus finally broke down at 10pm in the evening and we had to be rescued. The company needs to upgrade its vehicles for running these long trips.
Do t miss out!

5.00The entire experience was great. Just know that you're picked up one place and dropped off somewhere else. Just be prepared for that for when you park. It is a long day but it's completely worth it. The bus driver does stop about two hours into the ride on the way there and on the way back for a comfort stop so you have enough time to use the facilities buy snacks just walk around stretch your legs. . Our bus driver was very knowledgeable. Told this places that we could go gave us. Great recommendations. When we went into the heart of Memphis.. Graceland was awesome. You get VIP tickets so you see everything even behind the scenes you could have iPads for your tour of Graceland or you can read at each stop I recommend the iPad and then you can read as well.. All were very accommodating and very knowledgeable I highly recommend it.
I had such an amazing...

5.00I had such an amazing time. I just loved everything about it. My family would’ve loved it. I’ve been wanting to go Graceland since I was a kid n finally got to go with my husband.
Do not use this company

1.00We are from Australia and we used this as a one way trip from Nashville to Memphis. The company would not give us a discount or match another price (even though their site said they would). Because of no trip back cost they did agree to drop us at our hotel in Memphis. However when the time came the driver would not take us even though I had a written e:mail from the company to that effect. He left us standing on a street corner (in the cold and wind) with our luggage and having to organise and pay for an Uber. Truly awful experience. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

5.00We were keen to visit Graceland and Memphis while staying in Nashville but as we didnt have a car, this bus tour was the best way to do it. The bus was so comfortable for the long journey there and back and our driver very friendly and gave us a nice, smooth ride. The VIP access to Graceland included in the tour was perfect, as made it easy to see everything we wanted in the 4 hours we were there. The visit to Sun Studios and downtown Memphis afterwards were a nice bonus, especially with all the history linked to them. Although it's a long day, from approx. 7am until 10pm, we couldn't think of a better way of doing it!
Great experience! Great...

5.00Mother/daughter bucket list trip to Nashville, I spotted this tour on Tripadvisor and thought it would be a nice surprise for my elderly mother. We met coach at 6.45am, left at 7am and arrived at Graceland about 10.30am, we had a 15 min stop halfway to stretch legs, grab coffee etc. the driver also play 2 Elvis films to keep us entertained. We had a tour of the house, planes, ALL his memorabilia, there was also somewhere to get food & drink, although we saw it all, felt we could have done with another couple of hours. We left Graceland at 2.30pm and went to Sun Records for a guided tour, then onto Beale Street to see Peabody hotel or like us we walked the street and settled with meal, drinks, and live music at BB Kings. We met coach at 6.30pm, stopped for 15 mins break on way back, got caught in a little traffic and arrived back in Nashville about 10.30pm….moral of the story is the tour was good, driver was professional and easy to talk with….but trip was exhausting, do it but prepare for the long day!

5.00Bus was very comfortable your guide was excellent. Was great not having to drive. But a little pressed for time to see everything since you also go to Sun Studios. Plan your time well
