This is a great day trip if you want to get Graceland and Memphis city in while you are visiting Nashville! Runs from 7am-10pm which is a long day but definitely worth it. Bus driver was pleasant with some good tips for places to visit on route. Only thing we didn’t like were the loud Elvis movies played all the way there and back!

Well worth it! Graceland was so personal, looking into Elvis’s home, his belongings and home movies. If you love music, Sun studio tour was interesting and so cool to stand where great songs were recorded. Beale st had great blues music and good food. So worth going to see

The entire trip was great. Frank was a good driver. He was knowledgeable and provided spot on recommendations. One was The Rendezvous in the Beale Street area. A truly authentic barbeque place for dinner. Everything was timed almost perfectly during the trip. I would have liked an additional hour at Graceland, but other than that, all of the experiences the trip had to offer were enjoyable.

Frank, our driver and tour guide was excellent. He kept the Elvis movie and music going the entire trip to Memphis and back to Nashville. There was a time hiccup due to an accident delay but he was on top of it with the venues and it was a seamless tour. Graceland VIP made the trip even better with no standing in lines. This tour is well worth the money. Sun tour and Beale Street added to the charm and fun. It took the entire day but Frank was a great guide.

Wonderful time on the Viator Graceland Tour from Nashville! Bus was very comfortable, Frank our bus driver was knowledgeable, friendly and gave excellent guidance and tips. Graceland tour was interesting, “everyone was so nice and helpful,” very interactive. Took pictures and videos with Elvis, which were sent to my email. Beale street and BB King’s was cool. Heard Leroy Hodges play his guitar. He played and produced music with Al Green. Wonderful day and memory!!

What a great day trip..The Gray Line bus was awesome. The coach we had was new and very comfortable and our operator was very accommodating. Graceland is a site to behold..time stood still and we were waiting for the entire Presley family to appear..especially the King. Highly recommend this tour.
