Excellent Nashville Walking Tour - We had a small group of 7 and our guide Ryan was absolutely excellent. Great information on our walking tour at a nice pace delivered in a clear and concise manner with plenty humour too. Very good indeed. Was a great way to get our bearings on our first morning in a new city for us. Thanks again Ryan.

50 % Tour - The guide was 25 minutes late! His excuse was bachelor party. 50% of tour was great, but the other 50% was about his personal liberal views of the sixties and Andrew Jackson was a scumbag . When I spend money $ 100 for 4 persons don’t want to hear someone’s Political Views.. This is why 2 Stars.

No show - The map directions take you to the arena and I walked around for 20 mins trying to find them. I looked at the corner of 5th Ave and Broadway as directed but never met anyone. I tried contacting through the app with no response. Very disappointing.
