Day 3, Wednesday, December 2nd

Enjoy BREAKFAST at your leisure

Graceland is so much more than a Mansion. It was the private retreat of the King of Rock ‘n Roll. It was where his family grew up, spent their time together and enjoyed life. Today, you’re invited to explore Elvis Presley’s home, Graceland Mansion, and immerse yourself in his life and legacy at Elvis Presley’s Memphis Entertainment Complex.

The highlight of your visit is of course, a visit to the Graceland Mansion. You will see traditional Holiday lights and decorations. The interior is decked out in Christmas décor and includes his traditional red velvet drapes and the Presley family Christmas artifacts – just as they were displayed by Elvis.

Enjoy a 90-ride through Memphis on a unique, high-energy musical tour of Memphis, a city that’s given the world three great genres of popular music: blues, rock ‘n’ roll, and sweet Southern soul. Led by professional Beale Street musicians and featuring live music, comedy, history, and storytelling, the tour brings this famed musical heritage to life on the nation’s only music bus. It’s no accident that such legends as Elvis, Johnny Cash, BB King and Otis Redding all got their start in the city known as the Home of the Blues: find out how it all went down on this entertaining tour of Memphis’ greatest hits.

After our tour, The Peabody Ducks add a unique touch to an already iconic landmark, to witness the world-famous Peabody Ducks march the red carpet in the extravagant lobby of the Peabody Hotel, gorgeously decorated for the holidays!

Tonight, enjoy DINNER included at a local favorite, then travel to Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid for a view of the city on the river, after taking a ride up the country’s tallest free-standing elevator, it’s a new national destination experience located inside the massive iconic Pyramid in Downtown Memphis! See Mighty Lights, this nightly light show combines a colorful, synchronized display and two iconic bridges over the Mississippi River.
