The trip with Cool Destinations to Memphis from Nashville was as great as we had hoped! The driver was prompt with pickups and drop offs and Graceland was well worth the long day (for over 80's sisters... Graceland lived up to our expectations and was most interesting, especially the surrounding buildings. Sun Records was a trip down Memory Lane with all the equipment used to make Elvis's records before he signed with RCA, for whom I worked for many years. Thanks for a good day!!
A long day but well worth it - was told to be in lobby by 6:30 but wasn’t picked up til 7:05 (our hotel was in Midtown), then a small shuttle to a larger bus near the stadium, left Nashville by 7:30 for Memphis. Our driver Richard was great! On the ride were 2 good DVDs of Elvis which made the 3 hour bus ride go quickly. VIP tour is the only way to go at Graceland can definitely see everything in 3 hours. Sun Studio was awesome, and Richard has the best recommendation for ribs in Memphis.
Graceland was a feast for Elvis fans!
The tour was worth taking. People did not get off the bus for Sun Studios, that was a mistake. The Sun studio tour was fun animated and a piece of musical history upfront and personal.
Beale Street also is a huge chunk of musical history. One band was better than the other in the middle of the afternoon.
The bus itself was less than okay. In our advanced digital world not having dvd that works and not having Elvis movies that are referenced in your promo video is not acceptable. Also, not having music that can be played in dead zones is just cheap.
Theses are things that would have enhanced the bus trip which is about 7.5 hours of the day trip experience.
Excellent day, Graceland was a little confusing, we needed a little more info on how things were going to go.
Took the Greyline tour to Memphis from Nashville. Tonya our driver and guide was fantastic. Highly recommend.
