Memphis Elvis Presley Storytelling Private Tour

Before the mansion, there was Memphis.
This private tour tells the untold story of Elvis Presley — not the museum version, but the raw, real-life journey of a young artist finding his voice in the streets of Memphis.
Led by a local musician and Elvis historian, you’ll explore the neighborhoods, schools, studios, and stages where Elvis lived, played, and dreamed. You’ll hear personal stories, rare facts, and music history you won’t get from a big bus or pre-recorded guide.

It’s a soulful, storytelling-driven ride through the Memphis that made the King — designed for Elvis fans who want more than just a photo at the gates.

This is Elvis before Graceland — and it just might be the part of his story you’ll remember most.
