About this activity

Before the mansion, there was Memphis.

On this private Elvis tour in Memphis, you'll discover the overlooked places where Elvis Presley first found his sound — the apartment, the stage, and the studio where rock ’n’ roll quietly began.

Led by a local Memphis musician and Elvis historian who has spent years performing on Beale Street, this tour explores the neighborhoods, schools, recording studios, and stages where Elvis Presley lived, learned, and first electrified audiences.

Along the way you'll visit legendary locations connected to Elvis’s early life including Sun Studio, Beale Street, Humes High School, and the Overton Park Shell — the stage where Elvis shocked Memphis in 1954.

If you want to understand how Elvis became Elvis, this is the tour.
