Thank you! I appreciate you! Larry

Good tour - just ask about options of what you might specifically want to see.

JLC, Nov 2024

Nashville Joe was very friendly and informative. However, because I spent time in Nashville, I felt that he missed a number of things he could have pointed out. For example, one of the biggest areas for a tour guide to point out is.... BROADWAY and the numerous honky tonks., bars with live music - the heart and soul of Nashville. I have no idea why he did not go down Bway. Also, he did not mention the Frist Museum and the Schermerhorn magnificent concert hall. I know there was only but so much time, but we actually passed these venues, which I think he should have mentioned. We also stopped and got off at this old defunct car factory that I really found interesting - but we only had 5-8 minutes, not even enough time to do the whiskey tasting. So my suggestion would be to really parse out the 1 1/2 hours a little better. All in all, we really enjoyed it!

Highly Recommend!

Jeanne_M, Nov 2024

Excellent tour. So knowledgeable about the history of downtown Nashville. The music throw in to coincide with each location or person discussed was an added bonus. Friendly and fun. Highly recommend!

Great choice.

Susan_R, Jun 2023

We were looking for a tour van that was not over crowded and comfortable since we had our 87 year old mom with us. The van was all of that, so clean with large windows so everyone can see. Our guide was very nice, funny, and informative!
