| The Backbeat Bus Tour to Graceland was fun -- a funny musician with good stories -- but it got started late, was shorter than I realized and we were the only 2 people on the bus. |

Good, but timing was difficult

| This tour dropped you off at Graceland and picked you back up a few hours later. The bus ride was fun and informative. But when you were in Graceland you were on your own. There were several things to see and you didn't know how long each part might take. So it was kind of hard to plan your time. If you'd spend too much time looking at one thing, you might have to miss another. So we sort of rushed through some things and ended up with time left over waiting for the bus. It would be helpful to have some guidelines about how much time each part of Graceland takes to get a good look without lingering too long. |

| Doing business with Zerve was very easy and quick. The price included the bus ride and admission to Graceland. It was a nice touch that there was entertainment on the way out to Graceland. |

Gracelands was a let down

| The Gracelands experience was a real let down as we found it solely interested in extracting as many tourist dollars from us as possible and it didn't really honour the king of rock and roll as we felt it should. To be fair, the weather, which was awful on the day and fact that we had to obtain alternative transport back to Memphis as the Backbeat bus was over half an hour late to pick us up did not add to the enjoyment. |

Great Fun!

| We wanted something fun and different for our grandchildren so they would have a memorable experience. We had a 15, 10 , and 8 year old. So, we had quite an age group to please. Even the 15 year old thought it was "real cool." They all loved playing the instruments along with the songs. The singer on the bus was very talented and told some great stories also. Even though we had the choice to use a tour company that would have picked us up at the hotel, we opted for this tour because of the good reviews on TripAdvisor.com. We were so glad we did. We only had to walk a few blocks to Beale St. to catch the tour bus. |

| This is the ONLY way to visit Graceland! Although we were a small group, our extremely talented guide--Memphis Jones--enthusiastically entertained us with great Elvis songs and stories and facts about Elvis and some of the things we were going to see. My friends and I were celebrating my 60th birthday and my first visit to Graceland. The bus tour made it a very memorable day! Although I was anxious to see Graceland, I wished the ride had been longer as it was so much fun. We visited the Arcade Restaurant the following day and tried the sweet potato pancakes Mr. Jones recommended--awesome!!
We would have loved to have taken another tour but none were available the weekend we were in Memphis.
Thanks to everyone involved. |

The addition of the singer made the difference.

| I booked the trip on line from the UK,,arrived and everything was fine....thought the trip out was fantastic enjoyed the entertainment, very informative and enthusiastic information given....enjoyed the trip ...however only two minor grips....our trip was on a saturday afternoon the place was busy...3hrs is not enough time i felt we were rushed and missed one attraction as we couldnt find it....In the foyer we found on our way out site maps telling us where to go...I fell the operatorsof the tour would do well to issue these as passengers get off the bus....an extra houe would be ideal.... |

| I took the tour to Graceland on August 13th.
Memphis Jones made the tour fun as well as informative.
I wanted to go on one of your other tours as well but time didn't permit it.
