Great day in Franklin

This was an amazing day. Visiting Carnton, Carter House and the Lotz House. So much history and story telling about the bloodiest day in the Civil War. The bus driver and all the tour guides were amazing and really made you understand what happened November 30, 1864. The town of Franklin was the cutest town to stroll around and have lunch. I highly recommend this tour.

Civil War Tour-Totally worth your time and money

This tour was one of the best historical tours we have taken! The civil war bullet holes were still present on the outbuildings of the homes we toured. All of the tour guides had strong story telling ability and passion to retell the events that occurred on the out skirts of Nashville.The blood stains from the battlefield were still present in the wood floors of each home. The tour is by far better than any history book version!
