Suggested Itinerary:

9:00 am depart your Tunica area hotel with one of our experienced tour guides who will tell you about the history & lore of North Mississippi. You will travel to Memphis through some of the world's richest farmland along the historic Highway 61 (known as America's Blues Alley).

10:00 am - 12:00 noon. You will enjoy an exciting tour of Memphis, the Gateway to the Old South, and one of the most beautiful cities in the Southern United States. Filled with Southern charm, beautifully restored mansions, sculptured tree-lined parkways, on a setting high on the Fourth Chickasaw Bluff, this river city boasts of glowing sunsets over the Mississippi, the world’s finest BBQ restaurants, and the “Red, Hot and Blue” sounds of the Beale St. Historic Entertainment Distinct. Come with us on this inclusive tour to explore the city that is called, “The City of Good Abode.” This tour will take you to the Mississippi Riverfront and through downtown Memphis where tradition and modern progress collide to form an exciting modern city filled with historic sites, fun and adventure.

Sites include, the Mighty Mississippi River Front, Harbor Town the first residential community built on the Mississippi in the last 100 years, Mud Island, the Pyramid, Victorian Village, Historic Cotton Row, Beale Street and South Main Historic District, the National Civil Rights Museum / Lorraine Motel, Sun Studio, and St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital.

A very special stop will be made to view the “March of the Peabody Ducks.” The Peabody Duck March began in the 1930s, when the general manager placed his live hunting decoys in his lobby fountain and started a tradition. Today the Peabody Ducks have become a world-famous symbol for The Peabody and for Memphis hospitality. Every day at precisely 11 am., the ducks arrive marching on their own red carpet to John Philip Sousa's "King Cotton March." The fanfare repeats at 5 p.m. when they retire to their penthouse pond. Spectators gather daily in the mornings and evenings to witness this charming tradition in the spectacular Grand Lobby of The Peabody Hotel.

12:00 noon you will go to Alfred's or one of the other many restaurants on world famous Beale Street for a lunch of choice of Bar-B-Q Sandwich, Beale Street Burger, or a Chicken Sandwich with one side dish or New Orleans Gumbo and a salad. All meals include a drink and gratuity. Time will be allowed for shopping at A. Schwab’s Variety Store on Beale St. where Mr. Schwab says “ If you can’t find it a Schwab’s, you didn't need it in the first place.”

1:30 pm - 4:00 pm will be spent at Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley. The audio tour of Graceland Mansion is full of music and interesting stories about how Elvis lived in the home he loved so much. You will see the largest privately-owned collection of gold records in the world and Elvis' elaborate stage costumes and jewelry. The mansion tour ends with a quiet visit to Meditation Garden where Elvis and members of his family are buried. You can also see Elvis' famous 1955 pink Cadillac in the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum and climb aboard his custom jet the "Lisa Marie." Graceland plaza also offers fabulous shopping and restaurants.
