We were not aware of a Festival in Nashville that shut down many streets. When we got to our first booth to check in we tried to cancel and get our money back. They said we couldn't because we paid through a third party. We decided to ride but the trolley was constantly making detours and the guide kept saying ' there's nothing to talk about on this street'. It wasn't worth $107!

The only issue we had was when we went to get back on after a stop, we were unable to because the bus was full and then we had to sit around and wait for the next one. This took time out of our day. We were under the impression it would be on and off consistently

We enjoyed the orientation of Nashville with the tour. The buses ran frequently. The only negative was the fact that the first bus driver spoke so fast we couldn't understand a word he said. His name was AP.

The drivers are usually very knowledgeable but today we were told the Nashville Farmers market was open but due to the take down of the Nash Bash the stop would be skipped. Our driver told us we could get off at the next stop and just walk back to the market. He even suggested some places to eat there. We followed his advice and found the market to be completely shut down today so we walked all that way for nothing. We ended up just walking back to. Broadway at that point. Very disappointing.

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!
