Informative and interesting

Jill_H, Sep 2023
great tour, that made our visit to Nashville all the more rich. Thanks so much! We felt like we understood much better what we were seeing and how the city worked.

Great tour - a must for your Nashville trip

Paul_H, Jul 2023
Excellent tour bringing the history and stories to life. Our guide was enthusiastic, engaging and fun to be with. We learnt lots of information on our first visit to Nashville and leave with a much better understanding of the key role the city played in the Civil Rights Movement. The tour is well paced and diverse in its experiences - from murals to key historic sites to the library civil rights exhibition. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to all. Thanks so much for an enjoyable experience.

Good tour
