Visitors can explore the rural environment where Elvis grew up, beginning with the two-room home where he was born on January 8, 1935, the church of his younger years, and artifacts from his humble early life.

Graceland is loads more than Elvis's home - Graceland is a must when visiting Memphis. It offers far more than just Elvis's home and grave. The house itself has been preserved to its 1970s look and is quite modest given the fame and fortune that Elvis had. Once you leave the house you cross a busy road to where a huge commercial site has been built to house Elvis's cars, motor bikes and aeroplanes. His stage costumes and many of his personal effects are also in separate buildings. Allow yourself at least 4/5 hrs to do it justice. Just one tip.... if you are going there by taxi ask the cost of the journey first. It should be about $35 each way (4 persons) but beware some taxi drivers will try and charge you $60

VIP Ultimate Tour! - This was the best trip to Graceland I've done! Done this tour 4 times before but this time was unforgettable! Our tour guide, John was amazing, his stories, his kindness was second to none! He meet Elvis several times, knew the real Elvis. He knew I was a life long fan and allowed me to even open the door and welcome everyone in our group!

Wonderful - I’m a massive fan of Elvis I have been since I was tiny lol my husband not so, but this tour is for all anyone that’s a fan or not it’s definitely worth a visit while In Memphis, its value for money, the place its self is like a theme park now when you arrive you get your vip badge and earphone to listen to the tour guide, there are buses to a froing from diffrent parts of Graceland and the ticket office back again to where his suits and home goods are , food was lovely in verons cafe, it came with the voucher I had chicken and potato and a cheese cake for a dessert, it was a wet misrable day, but graceland is a must, it’s a wonderful bright and breezy experience, very humbling when you go to Elvis family plot, and it also Includes a non guided tour to the Lisa Maria, I loved every min of this tour and I spent a full day there from 1pm till 5.30,

Experience of a lifetime!!!! - Visiting Graceland is a must for anyone who loves music and Elvis. It is the experience of a lifetime. You need at least 2 full days to experience everything this great site has to offer. The Tour guide (John) was a very kind and full of knowledge about the King. He answered all questions to the T. Especially all the questions I had asked. The food on location (Vernons) was amazing too.

Spending a birthday at Graceland - My sisters and I came to Memphis to visit Graceland for my birthday this year. We purchased the Ultimate VIP tour package to experience all that Graceland had to offer die-hard Elvis fans. Our tour guide, Sally was incredible! She met us at the Will Call stand were we picked up our credentials for the tour when we arrived. Sally's experience, knowledge, passion and genuine love for Elvis and Graceland really made the tour experience extra special and truly come to life for myself and my sisters. Her knowledge as a fan and admirer of Elvis and her kind and personable nature really added to overall experience. I am grateful we had Sally as a tour guide and made my birthday visit to Graceland a special memory I will cherish. The Graceland experience and exhibits are truly incredible. We were only there for 6 hours and did not get to experience everything they have to offer and to see things again. Definitely on my list to re-visit in the future. Wonderfully enjoyable experience I highly recommend to any Elvis fan, music fan or enthusiast. Thank you!

Money-Hungry Graceland - The ticket is quite pricey, and what's even more absurd is that they charge a $10 fee for parking your car!
