Per one customer who booked the Nashville Evening Trolley Tour, "It was amazing. A true musical history tour of the city with on-board music, slide show, and detailed stories of the city. I worried it would be all country twangy (not a big C&W fan), but it covered R&B, rock 'n' roll, jazz, and the blues. Some stories brought tears to my eyes."
