Exceeded Expectations for Kids and Adults! - I went on this tour with my wife and a friend, not really knowing what to expect. We are long time residents who were just looking for an interesting outing and maybe a story to tell. This tour blew me away! Our time today really exceeded all my expectations and we had an absolutely amazing time. Josh is an A+ tour guide and puppeteer. I learned things about our city that I had not heard in all my 15 years living here. Moreover, Josh was a very real and stellar human being and his puppet Cornbread was a charming star to the show! The tour was well geared towards both adults and children, was engaging and humorous, and really helped point out details about downtown that you miss just walking through. And if you ask nicely, Josh and Cornbread have some great spooky stories about a number of the buildings in town! We are very excited to do other tours with Josh (the ghost tour seems exciting) and I recommend you do so as well! Josh and Cornbread are real Nashville originals. PS - A young kid was having a little trouble at the end of the tour and Josh was great about getting on his level with Cornbread and helping to cheer him right up and reengage. Just an amazing guide!

Awesome Puppet Tour!! Unexpectedly my favorite tour in Nashville! - I did this tour with my husband and one of my best friends as a good way to do something after the 4th! We live in Nashville and learned so much history and saw so many things that we would have never even noticed! The tour does a great job of balancing kid and adult level info! I would do this tour again for sure. Joshua was an awesome guide and SO KIND to all of us. So knowledgeable! He was especially great when a child was a little upset at the end of the tour. He used the puppet (Cornbread!) to get him back to smiling in no time! Tour is just long enough that little ones aren’t squirming and left me feeling like I got a great tour filled with great history and lots of good jokes! Looking forward to trying more of their tours! Will definitely bring my nephew back on this tour and recommend highly to any group. Would be a great post hangover tour to start a weekend in Nashville as well! Don’t think puppets are just for kids! Thank you guys again for a great tour! 😊

Fun tour! - We absolutely enjoyed our tour with Joshua and our friend 'Cornbread' . It was a great way to learn the historical highlights of Tennessee in a fun and unconventional way. Joshua was very knowledgeable and flexible, he answered all our questions and was great company as well. Would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a good overview of Nashville.

Great experience - Great for groups of fun living adult friends or a mix of kids and adults, this tour is very well conducted and informative. Yes, it is odd at first to have a puppet explaining the history of Nashville. However, after about 10 minutes it was no longer awkward. As the tour progressed, it became more and more entertaining. Having a personalized walking tour is worth this value alone, with the experience add, it is exceptional. This is my 4th time in Nashville and after taking other tours, I still learned so many great stories from the guide.

Informative and interesting tour - Josh was very informative and knowledgeable. We were a bit late and he was very understanding. We still got the hour tour. Our group learned some interesting facts about some of the past public figures and buildings in the city.

Great tour with kids! - We had a great time on the tour with Cornbread and Joshua. He was friendly and funny and answered all of my five year olds random unrelated questions with the patience. I learned some new facts about Nashville and enjoyed the way the story was told, even when it was a story I had previously heard. There were 6 stops along the way. It was a short walking tour which was enough to keep the kids engaged but not wear them out.
