Lovely - Good experience at Graceland. Such friendly employees. Everyone is so hospitable. Elvis would be so happy that everyone loves his house as much as he did. The pictures were a bit high. $40

Amazing experience - We did the Ultimate VIP tour with John as our guide. He was absolutely amazing and there wasn't one question he couldn't answer. You can tell he is a true Ekvis fan. Highly recommend the tour but come early or plan to stay after so you can see everything

Great day,very touching to visit the King of Rock and Rolls house….very surreal,very emotional to walk in the front door - Very emotional to walk through the front door, seeing the young Elvis photo on the wall at the bottom of the stairs.
Very surreal, to be in Elvis’s house, very humble man he was, very good tour, definitely recommend it whilst in Memphis.
Beautiful house and gardens.

King of Rock - Without words, it was my dream to visit this place. I’ve been a fan of Elvis since childhood and it was very exciting to be closer to his history.

AMAZING, don’t think it over - BOOK IT you won’t regret it! - Our tour guide John was absolutely amazing!! I don’t really write reviews but boy oh boy, this gentleman really deserves one! Not only was he VERY knowledgeable, he was super funny, extremely kind and you can genuinely tell he enjoys his job! We had the best time and I would 1000% do it again 😊 also, our tour bus driver Rex was so sweet, like John he made the day extra special. As an Elvis fan, this trip is a MUST if you are visiting Graceland! We hope we can return again soon and do it all again! Thank you so much John and Rex, we appreciate you making it such a special experience! TCB always ⚡️♥️

Worth a visit - I am not an Elvis fan, but definitely love history and always wanted to visit Graceland. We booked a VIP tour for about $145 per person. We did not use the audio. The staff were very warm and friendly from beginning to end. Design was well done giving guests food and souvenir options along the tour. Nice job of breaking things up to give guests little breaks from the heat. While not really a “mansion” by today’s standards, definitely reflective of what was considered a mansion at the time. You can feel the nostalgia and warmth of family as you walk around the property. So glad this was preserved and shared with the public. So worth a visit if you are heading to Memphis.

Ok - I loved the destinations, got lots of great pictures! I would recommend taking packed lunch with you, they smear around 7 extra dollars on the lunch they let you buy. It costs $13.99 at the restaurant but the tour charges $21. If you don't like burgers but would want to get something, that is not possible. Music on the way back was played through the microphone on the bus so it buzzed at times or just gave extra annoying noise. I would rather recommend talking to some of the locals who offer private trips to Tupelo and go with them🙏

Avoid. - We arrived mid afternoon and the employees were gathered in the lobby complaining about a tour group that had been there. When they finally finished their session a girl turned to us and told us how much the tickets were. We purchased them and she told us to start out side in his boyhood house. We thought is was odd that everything else was locked up. We decided to go inside to the museum, but the same girl stopped us and said it was closed. It was not even 4PM! She did offer to let us go in the gift shop, but we declined and left. I would advise, spend your time and money somewhere else.
