Discover Nashville: A Story-Filled Journey Through Music, History, and Culture

Your adventure begins in the heart of Downtown Nashville, where your expert guide will paint a vibrant picture of the city’s past and present. Hear captivating stories of Civil War-era Nashville, the rise of early radio, and the transformation into Music City. Learn about the powerful Civil Rights Nashville Student Movement, and explore the fascinating paradoxes that define the city's unique culture.

Next, travel just beyond downtown for sweeping views of the Tennessee State Capitol and a walk through Bicentennial Mall State Park, where you'll uncover quirky facts and bold moments from Tennessee's rich history—all shared through lively anecdotes and local legends.

Around the halfway point, enjoy a 20-minute stop at Marathon Village, a repurposed 1914 auto factory now buzzing with creativity. Stretch your legs, browse local gift shops, grab a whiskey tasting, or take a quick restroom break.

Then it’s off to Midtown and legendary Music Row, the heartbeat of the music industry. See iconic recording studios, and hear the stories behind unforgettable hits across country, rock, Christmas classics, and more, all born on this historic strip.

The tour concludes just a few blocks from the hotel, in a vibrant area filled with lunch options for every taste. The walk back to the hotel is an easy 5–10 minutes, giving you the perfect opportunity to explore a bit more on your own.
