Highlights
- Tennessee Performing Arts Center - This is Music City, of course we have world class venues for live performances. Our first stop of the tour will focus on the Tennesse Performing Arts Center and the War Memorial Auditorium
- Tennessee State Capitol - One of the oldest operating state capitols in the United States is right here in Nashville. Our walk through the Capitol grounds will uncover the important historical moments in Tennessee’s history. One of our favorite stops of the tour is overlooking Bi-Centennial Park from atop Capitol Hill. The views and pridefulness of the state of Tennessee are on full display throughout the entire park.
- Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum - What was the most amazing concert that you’ve been to? We’ll share stories here of some of our favorite memories while we uncover all of the amazing performances that have taken place at the Municipal Auditorium. Also home to the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, a must visit during your Nashville Vacation.
- Printer’s Alley - Not only home to Nashville’s booming printing industry of yesteryear. This alley also has some interesting tales from the prohibition era as well as a jazz club scene that will have you returning after sundown.
- Robert’s Western World - If you’re in Nashville to party, you’re not alone! The nightlife on Broadway can’t be beat. While we’re not on this tour to boot scoot & boogie we can certainly send you to the best honky tonks in town. Roberts Western World being our personal favorite, walking through the doors is like going back in time. The prices are stuck in the 1960’s as well!
- Music City Walk of Fame - Located in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame the “Music City Walk of Fame” showcases some of the most influential figures in Nashville’s music history. Definitely a great stop for photos!

Best way to enter a city! Walk with Bill - Bill was such a great city guide he felt like a long time friend! Learned so much took the time to stop take pics, answer questions, give suggestions. The time flew by! Started as strangers, ended as friends.
I got to love the city through the stories and FYIs he shared.

Start your visit to Nashville here! - Bill, a long-time Nashvillian (ite?) who obviously loves his hometown, led us on an interesting and comprehensive tour of downtown Nashville. We learned a lot about Nashville history, architecture and local culture. He was good at reading his audience and the pace was perfect with lots of personal anecdotes that brought Nashville to life. And after all, who can complain about ending up with ice cream at Jenni’s? A perfect way to start your visit to Nashville I highly recommend it!
