As Elvis-fans we enjoyed seeing Graceland, the mansion. Thee VIP tour was too long and detailed, spending too much attention to irrelevant artefacten!

We went to see Beale Street which Mike guided us around and he made everything very interesting. Martin Luther King memorial area was our highlight then onto Sun studios, and the guide there was very informative too. It was a great tour overall
