Special Note:
The price for each itinerary will be inclusive of your flights, hotel accommodation, coach transfers and sightseeing tours, most admission charges (inc. Graceland and the Elvis Presley Birthplace on Tours A and B), taxes and the services of experienced Elvis Tour Managers. It is impossible to provide accurate prices this far ahead (18th July 2024) of the tour as it is dependent upon so many costs, the exchange rate at the time and arrangements that we have no control over but if we were to offer these tours for 2024 then the prices would be in the region of what is shown below. If prices were to rise by, say a massive 7.5% per year then you can see what the expected price might be. This is based on a per person sharing a twin or double room – rooms for single occupancy will be a lot higher and if you are booking for a Triple or a Quad room then they are likely to be quite a bit lower. Hopefully the rate of inflation will be nothing like 7.5% per year – but at this stage I’d rather over-estimate costs than under-estimate them.
2024 Costs Tour A £3148 Tour B £5198 Tour C £3698
Allowing for a 7.5% average annual rise…
2027 Estimate Tour A £3910 Tour B £6458 Tour C £4594
But remember, if you put down a £50 holding deposit then when we do know the final price we will advise you and you will have 21 days to reconfirm your booking or we will refund you the £50. Nothing lost but you know your place on the tour is saved.
Extra Special Note:
The itineraries above are purposely kept basic for now but the tours themselves certainly won’t be. The Strictly Elvis/Elvis Travel Service tours are well known for their free added extras – and the surprises that are built-in along the way. From visiting Elvis related sites, closed off to the general public but which are made readily available to us with the warmest of welcomes, the opportunities to meet those people from Elvis’ inner circle, who share their time and stories with you, and the party events which are now laid down in legend. It’s these additional moments that make our tours exceptional. We’re here to ensure that the memories you make are unforgettable, whilst you’re in the safest of hands - these tours are professionally arranged by fans, for fans.
