Back in March last year, Elvis Presley’s home of Graceland had shut its doors for two months as the USA went into lockdown. Despite the difficulties, the Memphis mansion’s Vice President of Archives and Exhibits Angie Marchese started sharing some Instagram videos with fans that delved into some of The King’s priceless possessions. While at one point she even live-streamed a mini-tour of Graceland’s front rooms with a Q&A.
Graceland the expansive Memphis, Tenn., homestead that once belonged to Elvis Presley is now offering virtual tours to fans far and wide.
The live virtual experience will take viewers inside the musical legend s home, providing an immersive look into his life even for those unable to travel to Tennessee amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The two-hour experience features a walk through Presley s mansion, a tour of his jet and a trip to his exhibit and entertainment complex, which includes cars, the singer s iconic jumpsuits and various other memorabilia. The tour concludes in Graceland s Meditation Garden, where Presley is buried.
The virtual tours will be led by Angie Marchese, Vice President of Graceland Archives and Exhibits, who will highlight a variety of artifacts throughout the experience, varying from tour to tour to make each trip through Graceland unique. Visitors will be able to ask Marchese questions throughout the tour.

According to Graceland: “The Mansion aspect of the tour will begin at Graceland’s front door and conclude with a quiet moment in the Meditation Garden.
“Guests will enjoy touring the same rooms inside Graceland Mansion but will get a special perspective, as the camera goes behind the ropes offering rare insights with intriguing commentary.
“The experience also includes a look onboard the Lisa Marie airplane, the Convair 880 jet, nicknamed the ‘Flying Graceland’ by Elvis, featuring two half-baths, a lounge area, a conference room, sitting room and a master bedroom.”
