Most often I have found that the tour guide is the determining factor in whether a tour is worthwhile. We were fortunate to have Big Jerry as our guide. He was a wealth of information about Nashville and he ably shared that with us. Both the Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame were excellent, although we could have used more time at the later.
Mary_W, Apr 2026
Nick was a great tour guide. Shared lots of fun information about Nashville. The Ryman and museum were very interesting as well.
