The Elvis Experience is great !
Elvis was a little before our time but we are rock n roll fans. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience seeing his home, his many possessions and his endless rewards, records and costumes. We are a little disappointed that we were not old enough to enjoy him in his heyday. Being able to read some of his personal correspondence from people he gave freely to, was very inspiring. He sounds like he was a talented, incredible human being. Having the I Pad and headphones worked fabulous. You could rewind it if you missed something or just enjoy the music that was playing. Highly recommend going on the tour at Graceland.

Trip paid for but not taken
Make sure you contact the tour operator the day before to check the timing of the pick up. We arrived in Memphis late the night before from UK and was not able to make a call therefore missed the coach from Guesthouse hotel. I don’t even know if the tour actually took place as this is also advertised on Graceland Guesthouse hotel website which I would have used but it stated it was not taking bookings for this particular Friday. We didn’t have a chance to rebook as only at Graceland for 2 days.

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.

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 297 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 104 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.
