Worth a visit - I am not an Elvis fan, but definitely love history and always wanted to visit Graceland. We booked a VIP tour for about $145 per person. We did not use the audio. The staff were very warm and friendly from beginning to end. Design was well done giving guests food and souvenir options along the tour. Nice job of breaking things up to give guests little breaks from the heat. While not really a “mansion” by today’s standards, definitely reflective of what was considered a mansion at the time. You can feel the nostalgia and warmth of family as you walk around the property. So glad this was preserved and shared with the public. So worth a visit if you are heading to Memphis.

Girls Trip 2025! - Taking this tour was the perfect addition to our Girls Trip to Graceland. After visiting Graceland and Sun Studio our trip was completed with a trip to Tupelo to see where it all began for Elvis. Highly recommend this tour.

Ultimate VIP Experience - We purchased the Ultimate VIP experience at Graceland. Our tour guide John was THE BEST. He was personable, a wealth of knowledge and incredibly welcoming. We loved every minute of the tour and grounds.

Worth every penny - 5 stars
I absolutely LOVED it, boy did I enjoy this!
It was amazing, I could have cried all the way around. There wasn’t a blade of grass out of place. It was exceptional tour and I’m glad I did it,
We paid for the VIP tour and it was worth it, there’s so much to see- I almost couldn’t take it all in.
If you’re an Elvis fan- this is a must do!
Loved every minute of it.

Must tour with a guide. ultimate VIP pkg - We paid for the ultimate VIP pkg and had a tour guide who knew so much about Graceland. We got to see all his personal collections and learned so much about who Elvis the person was, not just the entertainer. We have always been fans and were so blown away by all the personal information we learned on our tour. If you go
to Graceland you must go on a private tour with a guide! It is definitely worth it if you get Tina for your guide.

Love Elvis - Great time! Though, wish we had a little more time to spend at Elvis’ birthplace area. There was a section of the park we were not able to explore and walk around. Thank you

A great tribute to the King - A time travel to private life of Elvis Presley and his family. It is great that the estate being able to be kept within the family.
Totally well kept home grounds, surprisingly the final resting place for family members.
It is also very very sad… The quietness of a house with tons of family inventory.
A life so grand but short.
Really touched with nostalgia.

This was was an excellent... - This was was an excellent tour. It covered everything we wanted to see. And plenty of time at the different locations.
Unfortunately our tour guide didn’t show much enthusiasm, given the nature of the tour. Hence the 4stars.

Ok - I loved the destinations, got lots of great pictures! I would recommend taking packed lunch with you, they smear around 7 extra dollars on the lunch they let you buy. It costs $13.99 at the restaurant but the tour charges $21. If you don't like burgers but would want to get something, that is not possible. Music on the way back was played through the microphone on the bus so it buzzed at times or just gave extra annoying noise. I would rather recommend talking to some of the locals who offer private trips to Tupelo and go with them🙏
