My grandson & I flew into Memphis for Spring Break. I wanted to introduce my grandson to ELVIS! We did everything ELVIS but best of all was our Sightseeing Tour by Darnell Johnson! The personal effort he made for us was way beyond our anticipation of the tour. He helped ignite a fire inside our minds to learn everything we could! His tour was phenomenal and we are still talking about it. Thank you Darnell! God Bless You.

This was a lovely time away from the hotel and visiting where Elvis grew up. Visiting the hardware store where his first guitar was bought. Then the statue where he reaches out to all his fans. Onto the first house his parents had.
Worth every cent!

Thoroughly enjoyed our day visiting Sun, Stax and Rock and Soul. Darnell took good care of my daughter and I when we visited Feb 18. We loved all 3 stops on the tour. Definitely recommend if you are trying to fit in some top highlights with limited time. Thanks Darnell for making the day amazing for us.

What a joke! They need to change their name to UNRELIABLE Tours. They NEVER picked us up, they NEVER sent a text or called. We called numerous times but we continued to get a message saying voice mail was full.....imagine that! Thankfully we went through Viator to book this and they immediately refunded our money. But you can't get paid back for the time we spent getting up early to be ready 30 minutes before pickup as instructed on invoice, then to sir and wait to over an hour! Even the front desk at our hotel told us that this company cannot be trusted. Look elsewhere for a Memphos tour, I'm sure any other would be better than this!

This was such a disappointment because the company has excellent reviews, which convinced me it was worth paying so much more than the other Memphis tours advertised on TripAdvisor and through the city's tourism office.
But I can't recommend this tour or this transportation company to anyone: the driver arrived half an hour late, and only after we and the hotel called multiple times to see if he was still coming at all. The van was filthy, and we waited while the driver emptied trash from the vehicle in the parking lot of our hotel. The tour was mostly the sites in the description, but a large portion of the time was us just going through Sun Studio which you can do on your own for a lot less money. The worst part was the restaurant, which is a lovely place to eat, but where we were dumped there, and had to wait for a half-hour after their closing time for the driver to finally return and take us back to our hotel.
We were a group of four, but even if you are a solo traveler, for $82 per person, you can hire a private tour guide and have a much better experience, or for even less, you can just have a taxi take you between the sites of downtown Memphis.
I don't know how to reconcile our awful experience with the reviews on this website, but I would strongly discourage anyone from trusting the positive endorsements here. We spent $328 for a delayed, abbreviated, less-than-professional tour. I would be very cautious before booking any tours or travel through this company.

We recently stayed in Memphis for a wedding and had to use taxis to travel from our hotel into and back from the city centre.
Our driver Darnell was super informative, extremely helpful, and totally reliable. We used him for several trips.
We didn't use the tours, but would recommend the taxi service.

Absolutely fantastic trip to Tupelo, from getting picked up by our tour guide Darnell who is a fantastic tour guide, the tour around Elvis's home, church, statues of Elvis, the lake, high school, the hardware store where Elvis got his first guitar, and we also got to sit at the booth where Elvis sat in the diner he used to go to. Darnell made it a fantastic trip from start to finish. Top man. Highy recommend this tour.

You have to book this tour of tupelo, Darnell is a great host who will take you to see,
Elvis's birthplace,
Childhoood church,
First school
Inside the hardware store where he bought his first guitar,
Elvis statue at tupelo fairgrounds
Dinner at johnnies diner and a chance to sit in elvis's favourite booth for a burger, and a side of graceland you probably wont see on any other tour but i'll leave that as a surprise, at every stop darnell will leave you to take as much time as you want with no rush whatsoever.
If you are going to memphis to see the elvis sights then this tour is simply essential to the experience, im so glad i did it and you will be too.
Darnell is cetainly " takin care of business"

I've wanted to visit Tupelo for so many years, finally made it to Memphis for the Graceland experience and booked Reliable Transportation to see Elvis Presley's birthplace. A bit of confusion about which hotel to pick up from, but as soon as I got in touch with them that morning, they got us on the way for a fun day. Darnell is great - makes the trip fun, lots of Elvis music on the way and great conversation about Memphis, Tupelo and the surrounding area. He made extra stops for photo opportunities at our request and genuinely cares about his customers. He loved hearing our Elvis stories and I feel like I made a new friend - will definitely contact him for my next trip to Memphis/Tupelo!
