Great walking tour! - Drew was friendly, personable, considerate, and very knowledgeable! We got to see parts near downtown Nashville that we, as visitors, would have never ventured to on our own. We were lucky to have a small group and got to enter some places. It was a great walking tour!

Best tour with Nestor - Nestor was our guide. The other group didn't show up so my date and I had his undivided attention. He was very passionate, informative, and entertaining.

Such a fun way to learn more about Nashville - Drew was fantastic! He is such a good story teller, and you can tell he is passionate about sharing the stories of Nashville and showing things we wouldn't have found on our own. He was very personable and took time to answer our questions with no hesitation.

Good activity when you are visiting Nashville - Enthusiastic guide, great stories. It was nice to do something in Nashville that has nothing to do with the "party vibes" this city has.
