All Elvis - Graceland & More

Package Details

Your journey begins in 1948 when Gladys and Vernon Presley arrive in Memphis from Tupelo, MS with their teenage son Elvis and Grandma Millie Mae, to start a new life. After living in a boarding house for less than a year, the Presley’s moved into Lauderdale Courts, a public housing complex for low income families. The time living at Lauderdale Courts had a significant impact on the life of this extraordinary young man, as evidenced in later years when he loved to show his “Hollywood” friends his old neighborhood, where he once lived a normal family life.

As your tour continues, your guide will take you to other sites that were important to Elvis, such as his alma mater, Humes High School, Lansky’s Men’s Wear on Beale St., St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, a favorite charity, the Memphian Theatre, where Elvis & Priscilla dated, and Immaculate Conception School.

A special picture stop will be made at the Overton Park Band Shell, where in a 1956 rock ‘n’ roll show a young Elvis’ nervous wiggle became a signature move recognized the world over.

In 1954 Elvis recorded his first record to hit the airwaves on a program called “Red Hot & Blue” at the Chisca Hotel in Memphis and his life was never the same. Today you will be able to tour the Memphis Recording Studio, now known as Sun Studio, where energetic tour guides will take you through the Sun Studio music museum to the original recording studio, a must see for all Memphis visitors. Imagine standing on the same spot where Elvis recorded his first Rock ‘n’ Roll song!

On our all Elvis tour, all roads lead to Graceland, where you will pass through the most photographed gates in the world as you journey to the estate of Elvis Presley, one of the most popular entertainers of all time.
