Eric was personable and very knowledgable of the city's history. We saw parts of Nashville we might have seen hardened not taken the tour. We canvassed the better part of Nashville at a comfortable pace.

Interesting facts about Nashville liked seeing Broadway but really enjoyed the history
Lots of cool murals

Kimber was an excellent tour guide. She should all the must see places in downtown Nashville. She was very interesting and fun.
Richard_G, Oct 2025
Erick was knowledgeable, and pleasant to walk and talk with. Every time we tour, we learn something new.
Linda_B, Oct 2025
The tour guide was late, ended the tour early, rushed through all the stops, and gave us very little information. Several questions were answered with « you can look it up » . He was just going through the motions, and we mostly just saw the outside of buildings and then rushed to the next stop. Very disappointing !
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am very sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. Our historical tours are designed to showcase many of Nashville’s most significant sites from the outside, giving guests a great overview and the opportunity to visit the locations that interest them most afterward.
That said, I’m truly sorry to hear that your guide may have seemed rushed or unengaged — that’s not - at all - the experience we aim to provide. I would also hope that no one on our team would ever respond to a question in the way you described, and I’ll be following up with our staff to address this directly.
We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can improve. If you’re willing, please reach out to us at thevilletours@gmail.com with your tour date and guide’s name so we can look into this further. Thank you again!

Interesting info about the city we never would have known otherwise. Sean was very knowledgeable and personable.
Pete_C, Sep 2025
Expensive for what get and what you see. Company VERY difficult to deal with and inflexible for errors which they do not tell on the website when booking. No direct number to call to reach them. You have to call a number to get a person to ask for the correct number to call to talk to the representative of this company. Total B S.

Pete,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We did want to clarify that your reservation was made through a third-party booking platform, not directly with The Ville Tours. Because of this, any changes or modifications must be handled through the company you booked with, as they control the reservation details and communication channels.
That said, our team at The Ville Tours is always happy to help however we can. If you ever have questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly—we’ll do our best to support you and ensure your experience is a positive one.
We appreciate you choosing to tour with us and hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back for a smoother experience in the future.

Eric gave a fun and educational walking tour of Nashville! We enjoyed walking by Woolworth's store, all the different murials and loved the free praline sample at Savannah's Candy Kitchen.
Mary_C, May 2025
Our guide, Sean, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We were the only ones on the tour and he was completely fine with that. He knew a lot of fun little tidbits as well as interesting facts about Nashville.
Erena_R, May 2025
A most informative and interesting walk with Kimber. In our small group we learnt a lot and found out new things to do. Kimber is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the local music scene and Nashville. ( The meeting point however needs to be clear)
Lauralee_S, May 2025
Guide Eric was very knowledgeable & very easy going too. He really helped me get my bearings of where I was going & also things I wanted to go back & see again.
MaryBeth_R, Apr 2025
It was a nice tour around Nashville. Sean was knowledgeable about history and music. Meeting spot was very confusing because of construction. We didn't receive a text from the guide, so ended up wandering around until we could get hold of someone at the company and they could get in touch with him.
My takeaway from that is that if you don't get a text the night before, call the company first thing in the morning!
But, after we met up, the tour itself was good.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Sean was able to share his knowledge of Nashville’s rich history and music scene.
We truly apologize for the confusion at the meeting location and the lack of communication beforehand. Construction in the area has definitely added some unexpected challenges, and we're actively working on ways to make the meet-up process smoother for our guests. Your advice is spot on—if a message isn’t received the night before, a quick call to us first thing in the morning is always a great idea!
We really appreciate your patience and understanding, and we're so happy you still had a great time on the tour. Thanks again for choosing The Ville Tours—we hope to see you again in the future!

Kimber was excellent. Knowledgable, friendly, and fun. Gave us a lot of insight to the history. Really enjoyed it
Elizabeth_L, Dec 2024
Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. We visited historic parts of the city that we would have never otherwise seen. We even changed a bday celebration dinner to a local landmark she showed us and had an amazing time!!
Eva_O, Nov 2024
Our tour guy Sean was amazing. It was one of the best tours I have ever been on. We learned much more about the music scene than I had expected to and also learned about the city’s history and architecture style. Sean was incredibly knowledgeable and also made it so fun. I highly recommend this your. Oh and request Sean!

We had a great time on this walking tour. Very informational and interesting and hit the diverse history of Nashville
ANDREW_E, May 2024
Not as much history as we would have liked. Ok but not nearly as good as the Downtown tour with Ryan. He was great!
Peter_C, Apr 2024

Kelsey_J, Mar 2024
We loved our walking tour with our amazing guide Kimber! We loved the flexibility in this tour and Would highly recommend.!
Heather_D, Dec 2023
Our tour guide had a lot of local, historical knowledge. Understood the various architecture as well as alleys. Good guy. Worth the trip.
Lise_R, Dec 2023
History of it all. Hidden gems Plenty of information. Knowledgeable guy (Derrin) told the story the way it was (with honesty). Loved that
Herman_J, May 2023
The guide gave us a great taste of the city and its history. Made the tour come alive with stories and humor
Robyn_F, Apr 2023
Although our guide was very engaging and appeared to be very knowledgable, he was not very organized. There didn’t seem to be a clear “tour” to follow, it was more like let’s just walk. When he announced that the tour was over we were no where near our starting point and he just pointed us in a general direction to get back to our car.
Rebecca_B, Mar 2023
The local tour guide never showed up not responded to calls or emails. I am disappointed as my family and I were really looking forward to this tour. Seeking a full refund.
Laura_B, Mar 2023
Tour was canceled 1 hour before it was supposed to start! We were told not enough people signed up. Disappointed
Pascale_J, Feb 2023
It was a lot of fun. Interesting facts about the city. Derrin was friendly and knowledgeable. Discover a part of town we would not have without this tour.
Amanda_M, Feb 2023
Darrin gave us an excellent experience. It was a great way to learn about Nashville’s history that we wouldn’t have gotten on any other tour. He was fun and engaging. I would highly recommend if you’re visiting Nashville.
Beth_C, Nov 2022
Enjoyed the facts and humor. It was cool but I still enjoyed the tour. I also liked that’s he answered questions about places in Nashville after the tour.
