I had a ticket for this tour and then at the last minute they cancelled it because I was a single and they said they only book 2-3 in a group. They took my reservation when I made it with nothing being said about I had to be in a group of 2 or 3. I am a widow, traveling to Graceland and am very disappointed that I was not able to take this tour. I WAS SUPPOSE TO GO THIS MONTH.

Recommend this tour to be your first! It’s a private driving tour that’s very informative. It gives you an overview of Memphis and where things are. Making it easier to figure out what you’d like to do and how close or far from where you might be staying.
