We probably heard four different guides and they all shared some great info in their own styles. All were wonderful. I was in town for You Got Gold. I found out after the fact that you did a special John Prine You Got Gold ride. Wish I had known. Next time I'll inquire about that! Lots of fun, lots of great sights and beautiful weather! I'll do it again net year!

We toured Nashville with some family members who were visiting. It was our third time and still very interesting. We learn more every time we go. This time we jumped off at Haddie B's for a fried chicken lunch which was a bit disappointing. Our next stop was Broadway where we popped into a few bars to listen to music and cool off with a beverage. It was a great way to get the downtown experience without driving and parking down there. I would highly recommend the Hop On and Hop Off tour as a way to see the sites and spend time where you want to. We started at Marathon Motor Works where we parked on the street for free which saved us a ton of money.

Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Nashville tour

  • Prioritize must-visit stops like Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame, but leave time for surprise discoveries – because, in Nashville, you never know when live music or a street performance will steal the show.
  • Nashville hot chicken isn’t just a meal; it’s a rite of passage. Hop off for a spicy bite at Hattie B’s, Prince’s, or Bolton’s, but fair warning: even the “mild” packs a punch. Keep a cold drink handy and maybe some tissues. You will thank us later. 
  • A little whiskey never hurt anyone. Stop by Ole Smoky Distillery or swing into Nelson’s Green Brier for a taste of Tennessee’s finest.
  • Skip the generic keychains and grab something at the Capitol View stop. Grab vintage concert posters, cowboy boots, and Tennessee-made sauces
  • By day, Nashville is legendary. By night, it's magic. So, go on a night tour and let an expert guide take you through neon-lit streets, share behind-the-scenes stories, and show you where country music history was made – all under the glow of Music City’s twinkling skyline.
