Can anyone tell me anything about the Graceland tour?

cicisnana @cicisnana (772) • United States 11 Apr 09

How much was the tour? Did you buy the entire tour or just the house? How was Graceland itself? Did it live up to your expectations? How was Memphis in general? I'm thinking of going but would like some ideas about how it went.
