Package Includes
Day 1
Upon arrival, you will meet your tour guide and go to the Memphis Rock n’ Soul Museum. This exhibition is about the birth of rock and soul music, created by the Smithsonian Institution. It tells the story of musical pioneers who, for the love of music, overcame racial and socio-economic barriers to create the music that shook the entire world. From there, you will go to lunch. Following lunch, you will go to the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. The Stax Museum began as a tiny record store in an old movie theater at the corner of McLemore Avenue and College Street in Memphis, Tennessee, grew to become one of the most important music recording studios in the world. Then, you will go to dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. Following dinner, you will go check in to the hotel for the evening. Day 2
This morning you will have breakfast at the hotel and board the bus. You will begin your day by going to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley. You will take a tour of the mansion, his two custom jets, the automobile museum and much more! You will have lunch. Following lunch, you will head back downtown to enjoy a city tour of Memphis. 90 minutes of high-energy fun on this musical journey featuring Memphis’ greatest attractions from history and music to comedy and bongos – it doesn’t get any better than this! You will then go to dinner at Neely’s BBQ for some Memphis Style Barbeque. Following dinner, you will return back to the hotel for the evening. Day 3
This morning you will have breakfast and check out of the hotel. You will load your bags onto the bus and begin your final day of touring. You will start off by going to the Center for Southern Folklore Museum. You will get to tour the museum, participate in a workshop and see a performance. You will also have lunch at the museum. From there, you will go visit Sun Studio. Sam Phillips' famous recording studio is ground zero for rock 'n' roll's explosion onto the world stage. Literally packed with memories and memorabilia, the "Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll" gives visitors a chance to hear historical outtakes and even touch Elvis' first microphone. You will get to experience the stories that put legends like Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and more on the map, and see why artists like U2, Tom Petty and Maroon Five continue to flock here today. You will then depart for home.
