Ryman Self-guided Tour - Staffers were very friendly and it was very nice to go at our own pace. The introductory movie was very well done. It was lovely to be in a place with so much magical musical history.

Beautiful! - Beautiful building. The film at the beginning was very informative regarding the history of the building itself. The majority of the exhibits focus on the Grand Old Opry and related musicians. Not a lot of information on the actual building outside of the film, but very beautiful. The self-guided tour allowed us to sit in on a warm up for a show being performed that evening, which was a little treat we didn't expect. A little pricey for what you actually get, but it's Nashville, so that's expected. Worth a visit.

Historic! - A little pricey for what it is, but it's a very historic place, more than I ever knew! Self guided tour, which is fine, plenty of volunteers around to help. Standing on the stage is something, to think who all has stood there and sat in those pews. Its about an hour to walk through it.

Good for a one time outing. - Nice to do once. Doubt I’d ever go back. But if you’re a fan of the old legends (we are) you’ll enjoy it. On the web site for Ryman the tickets are $27. We live an hour and a half away but have family in Franklin so we do go into Nashville and such once a month. We’re more into the parks and falls here but like to do little excursions now and then.

Important site to history of country music - The music history of Nashville has alot to do with the Ryman. So, it's a must-see. It was enjoyable. But, I should add we're not country Music enthusiasts.

Reeked - Beautiful auditorium with rich history; however, had to leave the tour and could not approach the stage. Reeked of weed and just walked out. Notified security and the greeter. Visited on 13 Feb 2025.
