Elvis birthplace visit - If you are a true Elvis fan, this is a must to see! The whole experience was fantastic. The tour guide John and the bus driver were great as well.

New appreciation for Elvis and his story because of Larisha! - Larisha was an incredible guide on our VIP Elvis tour! Her knowledge and passion for Elvis shone through every moment. She was so easy to talk to, enthusiastic about our questions, and made the experience truly special. We feel so lucky to have had her, it was so memorable. I now have a much deeper appreciation for Elvis and his story! Thank you Larisha!

Cool - I recommend that you watch the movie earlier if you are not a fan so that you understand everything better. They give you an iPad with your language for the guided tour

Brilliant, worthwhile lots to see. - Not a massive Elvis fan, but he was so talented and iconic we decided to go. We took an uber from Memphis (we stayed at The Peabody Hotel which was amazing). Was a brilliant insight into his life, we loved it. So much to see, a huge exhibition, his house, cars, outfits and awards. Was definitely worth a visit 💯. Go to Sun studios while your in Memphis too.

If you're an Elvis fan... it's a must do - We had a awesome look through Elvis's home in Gracelands. If you're an Elvis fan and you can get there, it is an absolute must!!
Is like wondering through a time capsule, such a buzz.
And all the museum parts across the road which is included is just great. You need the whole day, maybe longer to look through it all properly.

The Singh of Rock & Roll at the King's House! - Graceland has been on my bucket list of places to visit so while in Nashville on business I took Grayline Tour by bus which was great courtesy of Frank our driver and guide.
After a 3hr bus ride watching Elvis films we arrived. Our VIP passes were waiting. Our tour of the house that is Graceland was based on a time slot so we were ferried across the road from the visitor centre by bus.
After a short film our group of 15 was directed by the frienfly staff into the house. Inside it has been recreated to how it was during Elvis's final years in Graceland in the 1970's. It is smaller on the inside but all the rooms and memorabilia are evocative of the King. From the lounge to the TV room to the jungle room all downstairs as there is no entry upstairs. Audio guides are available but I preferred to read the panels around the house.
There are a number of outbuildings too and some great photo ops including outside the front which is very busy. I did unlike others slip into an Elvis costume and get some photos. The staff and other visitors applauded my efforts and got photos of a Sikh Elvis outside Graceland!
Then back to the visitor centre and the many museums showcasing Elvis' life. From his clothes to his cars to his planes and even his tractor.
A chance to try his favourite grilled (not fried) banana and peanut butter sandwich before it was time to go. Overall an amazing experience and 5 hours well spent. This is a must do for any music fan.

Can the last person turn out the lights when they leave? - My wife and I bought tickets online for the 3:45 tour on February 10. We'd driven from Pensacola, FL that day. She's a huge fan and this was a bucket list item for her. The staff seemed disinterested, with the exception of one gentleman who was great to talk to in the "race track room". The house and room descriptions were interesting. Unfortunately, they decided to close early that day and not tell anyone about it, so we were surprised to be greeted with locked doors at about half of the "Elvis Discovery Exhibits". This was very disappointing, especially since the admission cost was over $170 for us. I probably wouldn't go back there.
