We saw dressing rooms and heard who used them, saw practice areas, walked onto the stage, stood in the CIRCLE, heard stories, saw lots of pics. It was very interesting.
Kammie_P, May 2026
It’s an hour tour, with lots of great info and history. If you have trouble hearing you should stay close to the tour guide. There will be lots of picture options. No video or audio recording at all. At the end there is a great picture option that is an additional cost. You can take the picture with no pressure to purchase. The tour like all other tours and rides end at a gift shop.
Linda_R, May 2026
The tour guide was fun and knowledgable. We got to stand on a stage that so many country stars had stood. Well worth the trip to visit.
Rachel_W, May 2026
The tour was very interesting, fun and it was amazing to step inside the circle to get our pictures taken.

Stand on stage in the famous circle, take a moment you are performing where Johnny Cash stood and Luke Combs!
Robert_H, May 2026
Good. Large number of people makes it hard to hear presenter, even though he had a Mike. Too quick to really see or read anything.
Darcie_S, May 2026
A great way too see the Grand Ole Opry and hear about the history. Highlight was standing on stage in the circle and the movie shown prior to tour.

Fun experience. Guide was wonderful, welcoming and had a lot of information. Great speed to go through the building and found this tour to be a wonderful hour long addition to our trip.
Charles_S, Apr 2026
This experience is one of the highlights of our trip. They show you a video and then take you backstage. You get to look into the rooms where the performers prepare, and then you actually go to the stage and stand in the "circle" where so many famous country stars have stood and sang. It is truly one of the finest Nashville sights to see and do.
Tara_K, Apr 2026

Our tour guide was lovely! Being able to see the dressing rooms, mailboxes, backstage, and the circle was worth the time.
James_P, Apr 2026
Grand Old Opry, Gen Jackson river boat dinner. Were very good. Tennessee history museum was good except for the restrooms. Jonny Cash music museum was ok. Traffic has a lot to be desired.
Jennifer_H, Apr 2026
It was a great tour of the Opry. Fun to see various locations where history has been made. It got our Nashville trip off to a wonderful start.
Evelyn_H, Apr 2026
Once in a lifetime experience to hear about the history and all the great stars that have been there. Such a beautiful place. Coming back next year. A must to experience
Sheila_R, Apr 2026
We had a great time. Our tour guide was great. We were a little disappointed with the picture package they try to sell you has no options. You have to purchase the whole package. We would have loved just one picture. They also offered you a discount to purchase tickets to a show in the next 7 days. Those are two things that would have been nice to know about.
Vicky_W, Apr 2026
This was a fun one-hour tour that starts with a nice film presentation, takes you through the backstage area (not too much there), down the dressing room hallways which was fun and into the main auditorium. Our tour guide, Barrett, was a nice young man who had lots of good information for us. It’s a walking tour but really did not contain a ton of walking.
For me, the best thing about this tour was that it gave you the “feeling” of the Grand Ol’ Opry, like you really were experiencing that place of country music legacy that’s been dear to many hearts over many decades and has forged lifelong musical bonds and friendships. I really appreciated getting that taste of it. Nice tour.

Great tour and history of everything. Loved seeing the backstage. Selena was a fantastic guide. Maybe felt a little rushed but overall good
