Sun Studio Guided Tour
WOW! This was definately worth the time...if you love Elvis you'll love it! Also, an added bonus is there is so much MORE to Sun Records than just Elvis...I'll leave it at that...but HIGHLY Recomment!!!

Elvis Presley's Graceland Platinum Experience
Being a long time fan I was very excited and was not disappointed. I would advise adding transportation to the tours....it is far from the city and a cab was a touch expensive.
