The Tupelo Journey so worth it. - My husband and I had a wonderful experience with the crew and the bus ride to and from was entertaining as well. My husband is a huge fan and on this trip he actually learned a few new things about Elvis.

Amazing UVIP tour. Pricy and worth every cent! A++++++ - We did the small group Ultimate VIP tour of Graceland including the complex. We had 9 in our group. It was excellent. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, well organized, responsive to the group, and helped us learn things about Elvis we never knew before. What a fantastic tour. We went inside Graceland, unhurried, with only our small group. We saw the archives collection of small artifacts, and were able to take photos touching a corner of Elvis’s cape (awhile wearing protective white gloves). We saw his auto collection, gold & platinum record awards, his costumes rooms, another rooms devoted to his time in the military, several gift shops, and had access to the new Lisa Marie exhibit, the Elvis the movie exhibit, the airplanes. It was all amazing, and overwhelming. To imagine one man could have accomplished so much in his short lifetime. It was awe inspiring.

Our Rock and Roll King. Mr. Elvis Presley - Our 1st time here. We had the VIP tickets. It was a great experience, and well worth the small amount we paid. Fabulous, we went during the week. Our tour was at 1:00 pm on Thursday. Schedule the earlier VIP tour, in order to see and enjoy and experience a legend. Its an all day tour, in which some places close at 4:00 and 5:00 pm through the week. Very well worth the experience

A must see visit when in Memphis - Arrived 9.30 very easy to park and check in. We bought tickets online basic package. I thought it may be a bit tacky but not at all. It’s the family home of Elvis. So much history with letters, photos, videos. It was really interesting. So much to see, the cars, aeroplanes, outfits, awards, guitars, as well as the main house and gardens including the place of rest. Our friends are not particularly Elvis fans but both thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We left about 2.45. A fantastic time had by all.

Very emotional... my Dream camel true. Elvis is still alive - It was a wonderful experience, a dream come true. His house is really a museum...but there is much more to see, there is a huge additional exhibition of his cars, airplanes, his films, his suits and much more, it is definitely worth it.

Bucket List - Tick Tick - Elvis is an Icon, even today, so this was on our bucket list. We bought tickets in advance. For the price of the ticket, you do get value for money, there is a lot to see besides the house. The staff are all wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The exhibits are wonderful with so much to see. We spend 4 hours and still did not look at all things properly. The house is crazy, not what I was expecting at all, but you could imaging Elvis living their. Merchandise is very overpriced which is a shame when the tickets are not cheap. I am sure there is enough money in the pot to constantly try to take advantage of visitors. A simple keychain was $24! If you grew up listening to Elvis or even if you new to Elvis, the man was a genius.

See how the star lived - We had a great self-guided tour through the grounds and mansion at Graceland. It was a very thorough tour and easy to maneuver getting to the venue. There is a ton of parking and a lot to see before you head out on the bus across the street to the house. Be sure to take it all in! Lots of walking, reading and sights to see.

Memphis quick visit - Efficient and friendly staff. Came to Arkansas for a football visit and to be able to say my teenage son enjoyed the visit says it all! He even told me that he was surprised that he liked it as much as he did. Lol

Left disappointed. - As a visitor from the UK, we were extremely excited about our visit to Graceland. We ordered our tickets in advance in order to visit the mansion, cars and aeroplanes. Upon arrival we were advised that we needed to take a shuttle bus to visit his mansion, and that there was no other means to get to the house. Unfortunately I suffer from claustrophobia, and as such am unable to travel on an enclosed bus. As a result of this, was unable to visit the house. I would have expected Graceland to have an inclusive approach for a range of disabilities, such as claustrophobia. A simple solution would have been to use an open vehicle, such as a golf buggy. It is disappointing that it was not made clear on the web ad it’s prior to booking that a shuttle bus transit would be required. Having paid the full price to o visit the mansion, it is extremely disappointing that my husband and I were unable to were unable to visit the mansion.
