Ultimate VIP Tour - Did 1st tour of the day with John. Cannot recommend enough. Graceland was empty so that was brilliant. John was superb - charismatic, charming and knowledgeable. Can recommend paying the extra for the ultimate (if purse strings will stretch). Gracelands would be breath taking without John but with was very special. Thank you / janis & Cheryl xx

The self guided tour! - My Elvis crazed 70 yr old Aunt talked me into a long weekend to finally see Graceland! Who doesnt like Elvis, I was IN! I had no idea there was more than the house and its grounds to see! We did the $82 self guided tour, it took about 4.5 hours and we were pleasantly surprised it included all of the museums, airplanes, and shops accross the street! Graceland is magic. Take a sharpie-you're allowed to sign the wall out front of the mansion!

Wonderful Tupelo trip - Highly recommend. Bus was very comfortable. Guides were very informative. I just wish we would have had more time at the birthplace. There was so much to see there and I felt rushed.

As close to Elvis and his roots as you can get! - A must-see! An emotional trip back in time. As a life-long Elvis fan, I am so grateful his roots have been so lovingly preserved.

My absolute dream come true - There is so much to see, mansion, museums, planes, places to eat, gift shops, souvenirs, and walking around the grounds. You could easily spend a few hours here. It is an absolute dream. I wish I had walked slower around the mansion and soaked it in more. There were a lot of people, our slotted time was 11am. So much memorabilia, I loved the cars, clothes, well everything about this day, like I said it was my dream. Definitely recommend

Wonderful time capsule - Great visit to Graceland we did the Ultra VIP tour with Travis as our guide. It was amazing, the house is a wonderful time capsule to that period. We loved the stories that Travis shared along with seeing behind the scenes on how their archives team look after all the personal effects, it’s truly amazing. This was bucket list holiday and it didn’t disappoint. By the way Vernon Smoke house was a pleasant surprise might be plastic plates but the chicken and pork tasted good….

I'm All Shook Up - Anyone mildly interested in Elvis Presley and his life at home, will enjoy this visit. We went on a weekday and booked the Elvis Presley experience for 9.30am. We found the website a little confusing and wasn't 100% sure what it included. We also paid extra to see his aeroplane. That proved unnecessary as I think anyone can visit as there was no one checking tickets. The day started with a quick 7 mins film which is of poor sound quality and then you exit by the door on the opposite side for a short bus ride to Graceland and to collect your audio headset. They ask you to wear a lanyard if you don't want to carry a rather clunky electronic pad. No idea why as they had run out by time it was my turn and noone bothered or asked questions. The buses have seen better days too so first impressions are not the best and expected better organisation and quality in Elvis' memory. The house itself is well worth the visit as is his plane. The commercial plane next 'Lisa Marie' is slowly rotting in the sun and would again have expected management to take preventative action. We took 3 hours to visit the house, planes and all but 2 exhibits. Memorable day.

Worth a visit if you are an Elvis fan - The Graceland Guesthouse is an absolute gem. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning and well worth a visit. Graceland itself is just across a very busy road and also well worth visiting.

My dream trip to Memphis and Graceland - The bus was super comfortable. The guides were very knowledgeable. We would have liked more time to visit his birthplace. We felt like we were very rushed. We had to wait for the restaurant to get our lunch ready. That time could have been used for more time to sight see at his birthplace. Overall, great trip.
