Itinerary
Get an early morning start with pickup from your accommodation in Memphis and relax during the 1.5-hour drive across the Tennessee border into Mississippi. On arrival in Tupelo, hop off the coach to see the modest two-room house built by Elvis' father, where The King was born and raised. Your two-hour guided tour features major points of interest that Elvis frequented, such as his elementary school, the Assembly of God church where he was exposed to Gospel music, and the soda fountain where he shared drinks with his friends. Hear tales from his childhood and the beginning of his career, such as the time his mother persuaded him to purchase a guitar instead of a rifle at Tupelo Hardware. At Elvis Presley Birthplace Park, you'll view a statue of Elvis at 13 years old. See the museum, chapel, a 'Memphis-bound' car, and exhibits including the Walk of Life, Fountain of Life, and Story Wall. Admire the views from Elvis Presley Lake before return transport to Memphis.

The Tupelo trip from Memphis was a very enjoyable experience. Everything was well organized and everyone was friendly and genuinely seemed glad to have us there. Special shoutout to our driver Darnell, who’s local knowledge and friendliness was an added bonus.
Darnell picked us up at the hotel bang on time. He made us feel very welcomed and clearly loves his job. We shared the SUV with three others. An ideal size of group. Darnell is very knowledgeable about all things Elvis and his birth town Tupelo. Unfortunately the hardware store was closed (they're going to turn it into some sort of museum) as was the diner so we didn't really get the full experience. But Darnell was able to point things out through the store window. We really enjoyed our visit to Elvis' house and seeing the church where he sang as a child. We were able to take as long as we needed. A truly memorable trip for Elvis fans.
Thanks for choosing reliable transportation for your ELVIS TUPELO experience,
This was an amazing experience, our guide Darnell is just brilliant, has so much knowledge and never makes you feel like you have to rush. Takes you to all the important places and makes sure you get that perfect picture. Took us to Jonnie’s which is where Elvis used to eat and they have the most amazing burgers and you get a chance to sit where Elvis did. Would 100% do this tour again and recommend Darnell from Reliable Transportation & Tours

Darrell went above and beyond when I booked for him Tupelo (15th May) excellent narrator and a gentleman.
Thanks for such kind Words . Thanks for choosing reliable transportation for your ELVIS TUPELO experience.
The visit was well worth the journey from Memphis. The Memorial Park, Elvis's early home, chapel, the walk up the hill to the statues of Elvis and the visit to various sites in Tupelo was a fantastic experience. Our Driver was very friendly and ensured we had sufficient time to visit.

I really enjoyed the 1/2 day experience. Darnell our guide was knowledgeable and engaging. He really knew a lot about the area and Elvis. It was a small group, just 3 of us which actually made it more personal and engaging. If you in the fence, just book. You won’t be disappointed.

Thanks for choosing reliable transportation and tours for your Elvis experience, GOD BLESS .
Although an email was sent a week before the tour, the email stated that the tour on Marth 27th was cancelled. As we were due on the April 3rd tour I disregarded the email. For an avid Elvis fan this was very disappointing as I was told when we went to collect the ticket the day before the tour. Could a smaller minibus be hired for the tour?
I’m sorry for your hurt and pain, but you did not travel or book a tour with reliable transportation and TOURS you talking about GRACELAND we are not affiliated with GRACELAND TOURS thanks God bless
