Brandon picked us up and he drove us all around downtown Memphis as well as the outskirts of Memphis and told us many interesting stories. Especially about Beale Street. He told us information that know one else mentioned. I say this because I took another Downtown Memphis tour. Brandon hands down knows way more about Memphis's history. He drove us to see the Gov. Housing that Elvis grew up. He was very kind and made pit stops when needed. We went to Overton Park, a beautiful spot we also went to the Lorraine Hotel to see where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. After 3 hours of driving around we headed to Graceland. Brandon got our tickets for us, took pictures of us and then left us to explore on our own. We were there over 4 hours. The Elvis Mansion is beautiful, the Meditation Garden is beautiful and emotional. We stopped to eat something then continued to all the museums. Elvis's Cars, his plane, clothing etc. When we were ready to leave we contacted Brandon and he sent an Uber to get us back to our hotel. A wonderful day. It might sound like a lot of money but you get personal private service...

Brandon is extremely personable and knowledgeable. Not only did we visit Elvis centric sites but also other historic sites such as the Loraine Motel. He made us familiar with good restaurants and entertainment spots too. The tour was a bit pricey but I felt well worth every cent.
