Our Graceland Tour Experience
We booked the VIP experience and our tour guide, Larisha Hardy, was fantastic. She was informative, personable and made the tour more enjoyable. We give her 5 stars!

Great Day!
Loved it... It was Elvis week and we thought it'd be so busy, but the parking lot was only 2/3rds full. Had a great day - saw it all. Did the less expensive self tour and I think it was better because we got to go at our own pace and saw just as much.

Memorable, but not all we expected.
Overall a great half day and memorable experience. I’m glad I went this time. There is a big emphasis on buying souvenirs. After the tour of the house (which was enjoyable), guests return to the main museum to walk through multiple themed areas (his cars, his clothes, his influence on performers’ fashion, his movies and Lisa Marie). Attached to every themed space is another gift shop - overkill I think. I really was expecting a theater to be able to watch perhaps one of his famous concerts. Rather, clips are shown in most areas with just benches in front of the small screens.

Tupelo Day Tour
We booked the Tupelo tour direct with Graceland as we were staying at the Guest House. Pick up was at the hotel so no hassle to find. It was about 90 minutes to Tupelo. Going into Elvis's birth home was amazing, as was sitting in his church. We wanted a couple of souvenirs and there was a good choice in the shop. We didn't get long enough at the stop to take everything in, which was disappointing. We went to a good court in a mall for lunch, good idea because people can eat what they like. Unfortunately we were there far too long, could have been half hour less and added to birthplace instead. We drove around different parts of Tupelo and visited the Hardware Store where Elvis got his first guitar. Then we went to the site of the 1956 concert at Tupelo Fair, I really enjoyed that. The reason I dropped a star for the guide was he slept most of the way there and back! The worst part though was the driver, Rex, who in our opinion should not be driving. He ate, drank and yawned all the way, cut lorries up, ignored the bus telling him to reduce speed countless times and kept drifting over the rumble strip. The worst part, it rained heavy and visibility was very poor, he did not slow down and even he commented to the guide that we were 'sliding around' on the road. He also hit the brakes so hard that everyone and all their belongings shot forward. We did not feel safe and it spoiled the day. I wish had told the staff at reception when we returned but we just had a drink to calm down instead.

Great day
Paid extra for the ultimate VIP tour and it was worth every penny! Our guide Michelle was awesome! Definitely plan to spend the day. The staff every where we went was friendly.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Elvis Presley's Childhood Home Sightseeing Daytrip from Memphis: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Memphis.
How much does Elvis Presley's Childhood Home Sightseeing Daytrip from Memphis cost?
+
Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Memphis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Elvis Presley's Childhood Home Sightseeing Daytrip from Memphis take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Memphis is not rushed.
Is Elvis Presley's Childhood Home Sightseeing Daytrip from Memphis worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 284 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Memphis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Elvis Presley's Childhood Home Sightseeing Daytrip from Memphis?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Elvis Presley's Childhood Home Sightseeing Daytrip from Memphis suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Elvis Presley's Childhood Home Sightseeing Daytrip from Memphis?
+
Around 99 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Memphis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Memphis and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Elvis Presley's Childhood Home Sightseeing Daytrip from Memphis start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Memphis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Memphis?
+
Memphis is music and food: Graceland with VIP access tiers, Sun Studio and Stax, Beale Street blues crawls, National Civil Rights Museum visits and barbecue tours through the pits. Graceland ticket tiers are confusing, so we weight clear inclusions. On Outty we rank every Memphis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Memphis Mojo Bus Tour, Taste of Downtown Memphis Food Tour, Memphis Signature Guided Brewery Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Memphis?
+
March to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Memphis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
