The Half-Day Essential Elvis Driving Tour

John M was the perfect host. I can't say enough good about our day with John. My father and I were in Memphis for the 1st time and other than seeing Graceland, we weren't sure about what to do or see. John knew exactly what to show us. His mastery of Memphis' history and culture was supreme. He shared with us his love of the city with us, from Sun Records to St. Jude's Children's Hospital and everything in between. We were so enchanted with John and his care and knowledge, that I would recommend him to anyone. My father needed special care as he is elderly and John was "Johnny on the spot", he made the day comfortable and so pleasurable. GO BOOK JOHN, you won't be sorry.

John was an excellent guide. He was prompt, very knowledgeable & very personable. Beale street, Sun Studio & Shag Studios history a must to hear & visit.

This tour was an excellent complement with our visit to Graceland. John gave us some great stories and background along with a visit to Sun Studios. He is knowledgeable about all aspects of Memphis history.

If you are looking to visit Memphis and want to have a curated tour of the city by a true Memphian, then look no further! I knew in advance that I wanted to truly know this great city and was happy to find someone like John. Our interactions from start to finish were professional, timely and thoughtful in every way. He was so incredibly conscientious in wanting to know what it was we were interested in seeing most, but also in lending his insight. It was an incredible day!! Thank you, John!!

John is fantastic. I will use him and recommend him to everyone. I contacted John several times to book, change the date, time, number of people. He was always quick, friendly and accommodating. On the day of the tour I called him crying saying I needed to cancel his tour because the Graceland tour guide was so awful that I didn't get to see what I came for. John said to stay there as long as I wanted &call when I was ready for his tour. He saved my trip, and he's kind, knowledgeable AND THE BEST GUIDE.

John's tour exceeded our expectations of Memphis and we are beyond grateful we found him at Tours by Locals. He gave us a spectacular experience of his city by not only incorporating our interest, but also his personal knowledge and history where his passion of this city was apparent. We highly recommend him to not only our friends but anyone booking through tours by locals. Thank you John for your patience, and extra time with guiding us in Memphis, it will remain a memorable favorite! A big Texas ty!
