Take this tour! - Paul was an outstanding tour guide! Deep knowledge of Nashville, its music scene and history in general. He made the tour very relatable to our cities of origin and appreciated our questions. He’s also a U.S. veteran so gratitude for that!

A Superb and Informative Walking Tour - This was one of the best and most informative walking tours we have ever taken. Paul's knowledge of not just Nashville today, but of Nashville's history was amazing. Paul has a knack, as a PHD history student , of not just reciting facts, but of providing them in a larger historical context that was as informative as it was enjoyable. He has a willingness and ability to dive as deeply into topics as one could ever want, and to tailor his presentation to his audience. His love for the city is clear, as is the city's for him, as evidenced by the scores of locals greeting him as he led us on the tour. On top of his incredible knowledge he is also so engaging and personable that we were sorry when the tour ended, as we could have chatted with him all day! Paul's tour was one of the top highlights of our visit to Nashville.

Everything you want in a tour! - One of the best walking tours I’ve had! Paul was very knowledgeable- History major and a musician that performs at the honky tonks - and is engaging and holds your attention. What more could you want? He enjoys talking to people and about Nashville and can “read a room”: if the group is into history, he can provide details, or if the group just wants to know what to see and where to go (or eat), he will share that with you, even after the tour is over. The tour also included entry to the oldest honky tonk establishment as well as one of the wildest(?) on the Broadway strip, which his musical connections likely helped with. And he provided some useful tips on where to get tickets, timing for shows, etc. Nashville Adventures is a veteran-owned business as well. Highly recommend this tour for those who want to get their Nashville Stay off to a great start!

The perfect way to get acquainted with the city! - Didn’t have the best luck with the weather but our guide Paul more than made up for it!

Getting to know downtown Nashville - Paul was quite informative, sharing light stories and explaining the history and significance, all while we were walking around the area. We visited a few establishments as well, getting a better understanding of the heart and cultural influences that make Nashville. We later tried out a few of Paul’s suggestions, restaurants and activities, and were pleased with everything we tried. Thank you Paul! We’ll be back, and will also recommend you to our friends and family.

Nashville Adventures - I recently went on tour with Nashville Adventures and it was an absolute delight. My guide, Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the city’s history. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours and was tailored to my interests which included a mix of war history and well known land marks. The pace was comfortable with plenty of stops for photos and questions. Paul was great at engaging everyone in the group. I was honestly very impressed by his excellent recommendations for restaurants and anecdotes.

Best tour ever!! - Literally our best tour ever. Paul was our guide and his knowledge and passion was front and center. He is a musician with first hand knowledge about the local music scene. He is studying to be a teacher so his historical knowledge was off the charts. We really felt we got to know Nashville. Loved it.
