his was on our bucket list for a long time and something we were as a family extremely excited for. We visited on a Sunday and our tour was at 12.45, we did the ultimate VIP tour. I don’t know if it was anything to do with it being a Sunday but by the time we had finished the tour and eaten shops were beginning to close, so we had to rush round to grab a souvenir when really we wanted to take our time and go back throughout the museums that we didn’t get to see all of,
I would recommend an earlier tour time to allow plenty of time to wonder after your tour.
Don’t know if it’s an American thing but we were told at the guesthouse about the shuttle that takes you to Graceland so we waited for this, it literally took us across the road! Easily a 5 minute walk, we were a bit shocked there’s a shuttle for this if your able to walk there is no need for a shuttle.
Graceland is amazing, felt a presence in the out house where his squash court is, where he spent his last evening. Very touching.
Our tour guide Jon was amazing and knowledgable, he recommended the platter in the restaurant where you get to sample all types of meats and it was delicious!
With the vip tour you got to see some of Elvis’ memorabilia and hold on of his belts that we performed in, whilst wearing gloves. This was amazing but we found it odd there are no photos of Elvis wearing this belt anywhere? Begs the question was it really Elvis’ belt? We looked everywhere to find a photo even online, can’t see it anywhere, strange.
