Elvis Presley's Childhood Home with Lunch & Transportation from Memphis

Overview

While Elvis Presley became the biggest name in music history and achieved worldwide fame and fortune, his roots in the Northeast Mississippi city of Tupelo were humble. Guests will experience the rural setting of Elvis' upbringing and see where it all began in the two-room house where the King of Rock ‘n' Roll was born on January 8, 1935, the church he attended in his youth, and see artifacts from his modest beginnings. Sit back and relax on a luxury motorcoach for this narrated 8-hour excursion departing every Friday from The Guest House at Graceland in Memphis to Tupelo, Mississippi.

This was an amazing tour, and the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because we had to wait a half hour for our lunch to be delivered to the bus in the morning, so we were 1/2 hour late leaving and they adjusted our time at each stop to account for the late start which I didn’t think was right. But regardless of that, our tour guide Kristen was amazing and very informative, she made the trip a lot of fun. We sang songs and watched movies both on the trip out and back, which made the time pass quickly. Our first stop was at the visitor center, which was more of a bathroom break with a few things to see, then it was on to the Hardware Store where Elvis bought his first guitar. We requested more time to shop, which was granted. It was a neat old hardware store and we learned some very interesting stories from an employee of the store. They had some really neat memorabilia and souvenirs. Then we went on to a little tour of Elvis’s school, library, etc. and then to the birth place house where we had lunch and time to tour the area. We were then escorted to the church for a special service, which was really neat. Then back on the bus for a ride home. I highly recommend this tour, it is well worth the time and money.

Great tour! The bus was very clean and comfortable. The two tour guides were very friendly and helpful. They mixed up our lunch order, but the sandwiches we ended up getting were delicious anyways. They had plenty of water and snacks available during the whole trip. To pass the time for the long drive from Memphis to Tupelo, they played Elvis movies and music videos. My friend and I were very happy with this tour.
