A Beautiful, Fun in Nashville - My family and I spent a night at the JW Marriott in Nashville. First time for some of us! We all enjoyed our stay. The hotel was welcoming. The staff were friendly and respectful. The rooms were spacious, beautiful and clean. We were able to experience the food and service at the Cumberland Bar for lunch. We feasted at the breakfast buffet!

Ghost Tales of Inaccurate History - It was cold out and our guide did his best, but if we are going to stand for 20 minutes and listen about tales of President Jackson and Polk, perhaps there should be a better historical account of the type of men they were. Jackson “Trail of Tears” profiteered from the worst of slavery and displacement of Native Americans as did Polk. Truly, it’s not a “ghost tour” as we the discussions were primarily around those Presidents, Strickland (architect) and the suffragettes (please remember their names… Stanton and Mott). If my kids are joining these tours, I really prefer a balance versus “tough, good Christian men.” Not sure it was the guide’s fault but rather the company which creates their narrative.

Not this one -Try a different Tour - Night Tours are a really Great way to see a city. - Not this one - This was by far the worst activity we did in Nashville and also the worst night time walking tour I have ever taken. I have done a few night walking tours in other cities, and I understand the idea behind the tours can change, ie Haunted stories vs Ghosts vs True Crime etc etc. My issue was the guide himself. He had far too much dramatic flair in everything he said and yelled so you never knew where the highlight of the story was. He spoke far to quickly and was very difficult to understand and follow in his story telling. (English is my 1st language so this is not language issue) His main points seemed to be a few odd things happening over decades so "they" decided "it" was enough to be considered Ghostly. I didn't hear of any specific Murder Stories or any of these murdered individuals specifically haunting anyone. All we needed was a few well told stories around some old monuments around town - He managed to alienate his group rather than pull us in with his stories. We left the group with 1 or 2 more stops still to go, but by then he had already lost 5 others before us. I would warn against this tour as a result of the bad experience we had with our Guide. I would certainly take a different tour if I were back - but NOT this one. I prefer one with some character - not someone jabbering through his speech so fast it's incoherent. A full refund for the 3 tickets would make me feel slightly better, just still disappointed we missed out on a fun night. We almost joined a different tour group who passed us because they were all having a great tour.
