One of the Highlights of Our USA Trip!

The Jamboree bus was one of the absolute highlights of our trip around America! We laughed from start to finish and would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Nashville. If you don’t like being the butt of a few jokes, this probably isn’t the trip for you. But if you’re up for a laugh, enjoy a good sing-along, and don’t take yourself too seriously, you’ll have an amazing time. Brilliant fun and an unforgettable experience!

Fun Ride

We did this on the first morning we were there to scout out places to see. It was great! Bryce was a great host taking us by a bunch of places and stopping for a tasting of whiskey and a drink near the ball field. We drove through areas that we would not have since we were staying in Broadway. We did the longer tour about 3hrs, but probably could have done the shorter one

DUCKY IS AMAZING hope you get her when you book the tour

Ducky was FUNNY and AWESOME!! We were running late to get to the tour bus because of the roads getting blocked off for the 4th of July. She waited till we got there before leaving. Some of the celebrity houses were covered with trees and bushes so couldn't really see them BUT overall it was still a great tour. I was able to take a pick of some.
