Darnell and Reliable Transportation & Tours. Great guy! - We booked with Darnell at Reliable Transportation & Tours for a trip to Tupelo from Memphis in March 2025. I was travelling with my 84 year old mum from England. He was extremely communicative up until the day of travel and made it easy for us. As it happened, there was an extreme weather situation on the day of travel so we had to cancel the trip. Darnell led that process and gave good advice in the interests of safety. He also immediately arranged the refund, no hassle. We replaced the Tupelo trip with a local Memphis tour arranged by Darnell including Sun Studios. I have to say Darnell is a true gentleman, polite with a wonderful personality and great knowledge. His vehicle was luxurious and comfortable, plus my mum really liked him! I would highly recommend him and his company. Thanks mate!

Trip the Elvis hometown - Darnell made this experience, he is fun, had a great sense of humor. It was poor weather but he still got us there and back safe and sound. I would say if you wanted to see the birthplace of Elvis, this is the tour to go on. The only thing that we regret is going on a Sunday, the store he bought his first guitar and the Cafe he spent time in and had his own booth were both closed. Not sure if it was because it was Sunday or because of the weather. Darnell, you were a great guide!!! Lots of energy!

History... - Very interesting talk by the lady at the church. There's not lads to see but being in Tupelo was enough and to see the childhood home that Elvis lived at was enough for me.. Brilliant

Tupelo - What a fabulous day, we were picked up at our hotel, taken on a tour of tupelo, to the hardware store first where elvis got his first guitar, then to the park where he did the free concerts, then to the house/shack where he was born, and the church he attended. The gift shop and museum were there too We also saw the school elvis attended. We then stopped at the diner and sat at the actual table that elvis sat at. Before being dropped off back at our hotel Darnell was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly.

Awesome tour with awesome guide! - I took a work friend to Memphis for her vacation. She is a very big Elvis fan. We took a tour to Tupelo, MS with Darnell and Reliable Transpotation and Tours. He is very funny and knowledgeable. He made sure that we saw everything...the hardware store where Elvis's momma bought him his first guitar, the elementary school that Elvis went to, the Church were Elvis learned to sing gospel music, the birthplace of Elvis and museum. He also made sure that we got to sit in the booth where Elvis sat at Johnnie's Drive-In. It was an awesome experience. I highly recommend Darnell's transportation business to anyone wanting to have the Elvis experience!! We took a tour of Graceland and a Sun Studios tour from other tour companies. Darnell's tour was by far the best!! Thanks for the memories Darnell!!!

YOU MUST MEET DARNELL! - Darnell made our trip to Memphis!! He was SO FRIENDLY!! I knew we were in great hands when he picked us up from the airport…then we had our day trip to Tupelo the next day. We saw Elvis’s birthplace, church, museum, elementary school, and ate in Johnnie’s Drive In. It was a perfect say. I was sad to leave after that day trip with him. He stopped for a bathroom break, helped my mom in and out of his beautiful Escalade, and made sure we didn’t need a thing. He also dropped us off at the airport a few days later. Go no further. You will love Darnell and Reliable!!

BOOK THIS TOUR! - What a wonderful tour this was! Darnell was the most friendly, kind, and professional southern gentleman. He answered all of my questions and communicated promptly. Darnell is one of a kind! SHARP dresser too! We rode in style and comfort in his black Escalade to Tupelo. Trip felt quick due to the conversation with Darnell. My mom uses a walker and he made sure to help her in and out of the car each and every time. We took our time at Elvis’s birthplace complex including his home, church, and small museum. We didn’t feel rushed at all. After that Darnell took us to Elvis’s school, Tupelo Hardware, and Johnnie’s Drive-in. (Try the dough burger!) All in all, the tour was just perfect all because of Darnell’s personal touch. I HIGHLY recommend! When it was over, we were so sad to leave.
