The historic home of the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium is one of the must see sites that makes Music City famous. Built in 1892 (and initially serving as a tabernacle) it was used for the Opry broadcasts from 1943 until 1974. After the Opry moved to a larger venue, the Ryman sat largely unused until it was reopened as a performance hall and museum in 1994.
Today, the Ryman is a popular 2,362-seat live performance venue as well as a National Historic Landmark. Both country music stars and legends in other genres have graced the Ryman stage throughout its long and proud history. Among the many notable stars to have performed there include Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Willie Nelson, and Patsy Kline.
Taking a tour of the Ryman allows you to walk in the same steps of music royalty, seeing the backstage area and dressing rooms that hosted these many stars.

The tour was very informative. gave us a complete overview of Nashville. Monty was our tour guide for the trip, and he was GREAT! very knowledgeable and funny. He kept the trip interesting and fun, answered all our questions. Thanks to him we were able to stop at a couple of "unscheduled" places. He timed our tour so we could hear the bell towers ring. My only semi-negative comment is that you don't really have enough time to tour the country music hall of fame (maybe if we had paced ourselves a bit more...)and you aren't allowed to return on the same ticket. Other than that it was a perfect tour. Highly recommended!
