Fantastic introduction to Franklin’s rich history - This trip was very informative; our guide, Doug, was super friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to come back and visit all of the locations he spoke of. It was an excellent value and I will probably do it every time I return to Franklin!

Toured downtown Franklin and both the Carter and Carnton houses. - We had a great experience! our driver and tour guide were so knowledgeable and friendly. We hoped on and off at both the Carter and Carnton houses. Our drivers pointed out things to make sure we noticed and then made sure we were picked up afterward. I would definitley do this again!

A day exploring Franklin, TN - Guide was very informative. I always gain some new knowledge on these tours. If you are a civil war history buff you will enjoy the stops on this tour. Franklin is a nice day trip from Nashville and Clarksville. Very enjoyable!

Franklin tour bus - We could not hear the speaker well from the back of the bus. At times we only heard a few snippets of his conversation. I recommend a better speaker system for the bus.

It was a DUD - They moved location meeting spot without saying anything. Luckily someone at the Visitor Center told me where to go. I walked a mile to get to new location (person made it sound like it was close by) Then when I showed up I didn’t know where to meet it was huge. I called the number & told me to meet (location) as if I knew where to go I’m from out of town I have no idea where that’s at. Finally I found it & I was waiting near the area & the tour bus drove past me I waved them down. Since I was the only one the tour guide thought it was a good idea not to use his microphone & sit next to me. It was awkward I didn’t know if I should look at him or if I could look out. ( I have a hearing problem so I like to look at people’s lips when they talk) so I couldn’t hear & I didn’t get to see much. I guess we were suppose to stop at 5 stops I’m pretty sure we only stopped at 3. Not a good experience & honestly I don’t think I learned that much about Franklin, he talked about the civil war the whole time which I’m all about history but there’s more to Franklin than just the civil war.
