More than just a tour!

I have been on several city tours in the past and have found them bland. What makes this one different is that it is interactive. You get to sing along, play instruments, or just listen if you prefer. Because Memphis is the "Home of the Blues and Birthplace of Rock n Roll," it is fitting that live music is played during the tours. The music enhances the narrative provided on the tour and gives you something to do between sights instead of just looking out the window for several hours while the driver points out sights.

HOUND DOG TOUR

For Elvis fans of all levels this is a great tour. I purchased this tour along with other tours for my husband's birthday, he is a huge Elvis fan and has never made it to Memphis until now. We both think of this as one of the highlights of our trip. The tour guide was very pleasant and full of knowledge. I would highly recommend this tour to fans of all levels you will walk away with a greater appreciation for Elvis.

The Hound Dog Tour was absolutely amazing. The tour guide, Memphis Jones, was very knowledgable about Memphis and especially Elvis. He was very entertaining and performed Elvis songs great! The tour was very interactive and all members were included in the sing - a - longs. We actually went on this tour our last day in Memphis and I thought I would be seeing things I had alreaday seen and nothing new. Boy was I wrong! This tour offered landmarks in a new light and made every minute FUN!!!

Best way to discover Elvis: in music.

Nostalgic, good music, good stories that we do not know. We are a little more from "Elvis" today.

Best tour ever

We have been on many tours in many cities and this was the best ever. Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. He was full of information that he intermixed with Elvis songs throughout the trip. Our 5 year old daughters loved him so much they wanted a picture with him at the end. I wold recommend this trip without any hesitation.

It was ok

Touring from England, UK We booked the trip as we would be riding on a 50's bus. The day of our trip, a bus had broken down, so we were on a small bus. A 50's bus was being used on another trip, which was following ours! My husband enjoyed the trip, even though he was disappointed about the bus. I was bored.

A must for true Elvis fans

This was the *perfect* compliment to my pilgrimage to Graceland. The tour hit many of the important Elvis sites...which I suppose one could do on their own. However, with this package you get: 1) An engaging tour guide who provides colorful stories and anecdotes, 2) Live entertainment with audience participation, 3) Someone else does the driving so time can be spent truly sightseeing, 4) An interesting view of Memphis beyond the obvious tourist spots , 5) Tickets to Sun Studio with a set tour time are included. If you are a fan and interested seeing the significant Elvis landmarks you should take this tour. And if you aren't a fan...as our tour guide said...."you don't know enough about Elvis."

Had a great time!

Our tour guide, Jake Fly, was very entertaining and we all participated in Elvis trivia and singing songs. He kept the mood very lively and we enjoyed him. We had a great time riding on the bus and checking out the Elvis sites! Parking garages are available nearby which makes it easy - but bring your own beverage before you get there because nothing's open, and it's hot there in July!!!!
