Fun but missed taking pictures

Terrie, Feb 2020

The tour was fun and informative. It was neat to see the homes of Rayna, Deacon, Juliette, Scarlett and the others. However, I was very disappointed to not be able to take good pictures from the bus due to some kind of screen print covering over the windows. The driver stopped but picture taking was useless. The best part was the stop at the Bluebird Cafe! We were allowed to go in and take pictures. The manager gave a presentation about the history of the place. It was the highlight of the trip but it would have been nice to have pictures of the homes.

The guide was great, full of information. Loved the Bluebird, but would have been nice to have been able to get a drink, even if only water.

Great tour, e are gonna watch Nashville box set yet again!

William, Feb 2020

Bluebird Cafe

Marlene_M, Feb 2020

Great tour and very knowledgeable guide Michael. Enjoyed seeing the houses used in the TV show. Manager of Bluebird Cafe was also great.

Awesome tour

Donna_D, Feb 2020

Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny. The tour was worth every penny. We especially loved the Bluebird Cafe portion of the tour. They even picked us up and dropped us back off at our hotel I will use them again for future tours

Very Well Done

WarrenShoe, Nov 2019

While my wife and I were fans of the TV show, and the sites and details covered in this tour were enjoyable to see first hand, it also provided an interesting overview to different parts of Nashville. And the opportunity to visit the Bluebird Cafe and discuss its history and influence with the longtime Cafe manager would have been worth the tour price alone.

Bluebird plus so much more!

Brad_L, Oct 2019

Barry was very very knowledgeable about the show “Nashville”! We didn’t know a lot about it but we are very interested in viewing all seasons on Netflix! The Bluebird cafe was very interesting as well. We would have never been able to see it had we not taken this tour with Barry! Thanks to him for filling us in with so much Nashville info! Wonderful tour!

Tina_M, Jun 2019

The Nashville TV tour was enjoyable. The driver was very knowledgeable about the show. The talk inside the Bluebird Cafe was a highlight. It was hard to take pictures from the bus—depending which side you were on and not given a lot of tine.

Tom_H, May 2019

my wife and I took the tour, she was a avid Nashville fan. I watched occasionally. what made the tour so GREAT was our tour guide/driver. He knew everything about the show, the cast, when it happened, and what season it happened. Myself, I enjoyed the tour more than the show. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you for a great time.

tour guide was very knowledgeable TV show Nashville and kept us excited during the tour and funny. The bluebird Cafe was the icing on the cake for this tour.

Most informative tour ever taken!!!

ConnieB1962, Sep 2018

Rose was wonderful! She knew more about the show and the details of each of the locations than we could imagine, and because she had been an extra three times on the show she had insider information to share with us! Also, she was a former real estate agent and along the way was able to point out many stars homes that were not associated with this show, which made us feel like we had gotten two tours for the price of one! Our time spent at the Blue Bird Café was wonderful and we even got a token souvenir for free! Again, she was awesome and I would highly recommend this tour if you are a fan of the show! Thanks again Rose for the highlight of our first trip to Nashville!

A little long for my taste

Jeri_N, Jul 2018

I am a HUGE 'Nashville' fan but this tour was WAY too long! We were told to wait for pick up at 1:00 and didn't get picked up till after 1:30. We didn't get back for FOUR hours. We visited some awesome sites from the show and also got some great views of stars homes around the city. Visiting the Bluebird was great. We had already seen most of the tour before going to the cafe but still spent an additional 2 hours on the bus. People fell asleep, began playing on their phones...it was just too long to be stuck on a bus overall.

My Daughter and I really enjoyed the...
