The Tupelo Tour
An All‑Day Journey to Elvis’ Beginnings
$130 per person
(includes Birthplace Park admission)
Step into the early world of Elvis Presley with a full‑day tour to Tupelo, Mississippi — the small hometown where his story began. This immersive experience takes you to the places that shaped his childhood, his character, and ultimately his path to becoming the King of Rock ’n’ Roll.
The Places You’ll Visit
- Your day begins at the Elvis Presley Birthplace Park, where you’ll explore his two‑room birth home, his childhood church, the museum, and the surrounding grounds. From there, we follow in young Elvis’ footsteps throughout Tupelo.
- Enjoy lunch at one of Elvis’ favorite diners
- Visit Tupelo Hardware, where his mother bought him his first guitar
- The sites that influenced his music
- See the neighborhoods where the Presley family lived
- Stop by the movie theater he attended
- Where he performed on the radio
- Visit his schools, the Fair Park statue, and many other meaningful sites
Along the way, we explore the questions that shaped his early life:
- What was Elvis’ childhood really like?
- How poor was the Presley family?
- What influences surrounded him in Tupelo?
- How did these early experiences spark a legendary career?
Our Tupelo Tour brings these stories to life. You’ll stand where Elvis stood, see what he saw, and hear how this small Mississippi town helped shape a global icon. We take you to the places where he grew up, worshipped, shopped, played, and first discovered music.
