ELVIS USA VALUE SPRING BREAK 

 

MEMPHIS AND OPTIONAL TOUR OF TUPELO 

Tuesday 16th to Tuesday 23rd March 2027

 

Who’d have thought so many people would still be celebrating the life and work of any singer or movie star on what would have been the 50th Anniversary year of their passing.… well we would obviously…because we’re Elvis fans, but can you name anyone else (in the whole history of entertainment?) other than Elvis that had such exceptional talent that makes anyone feel this way?
 

This is a once in a lifetime tour for many and there is no doubt that visiting Memphis this time of year as part of a group can be much better value than going it alone, no taxi’s, additional admission fees or wasting precious time trying to find your way around. The Elvis Travel Service shuttle bus allowing you to make the most of each moment. This very special Spring USA Tour offers you great value but still has the Elvis Travel Service ‘touch’ and the added assurance of an experienced Tour Manager accompanying you – so come with us on a journey of both celebration, remembrance and discovery that captures the very best of Memphis. This tour includes a day’s visit to
Graceland (included in the price) as well as a full day touring the Elvis sights of Memphis - with admission included to Sun Studio, plus lots more besides. Memphis never disappoints the true fan, and during our comprehensive guided tour we’ll show you what shaped Elvis’ life, from his homes, the stages he appeared on, the recording studios he used and where he dined, relaxed and socialised. With over 60 Elvis sights to see and enjoy, this will be a tour to remember. There is also an optional full day tour to Tupelo to visit Elvis’ Birthplace, his schools, the church he attended, the hardware
store where his beloved mother Gladys bought him his first guitar. Just so much to see.
Our ‘home’ for the duration will be the Holiday Inn Express conveniently situated on Elvis Presley Boulevard with spacious, comfortable rooms and with an enhanced continental breakfast included for the duration of your stay.
