Thoroughly entertaining and an excellent US/Music city history tour! - If there was option for a 10 star, I’d give it! So worth the time to take this tour. Not your ordinary genetic tour. Paul is excellent and gives a unique, fun and entertaining history lesson throughout. You will not be disappointed! It was the highlight of our Nashville visit for sure!

Fun walking tour - It was a very informative and interesting tour. Be prepared to pay for overpriced parking or uber if possible. The coffee was a nice touch. I just wish I had access to the coffee shop’s menu prior to the tour so I didn’t have to blindly place an order with my tour guide. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.

Brilliant guide, brilliant tour and all round good guy tour guide - Paul was my guide for this tour on an early Saturday morning. He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. If there's a fact about nashville's music scene or the civil war that's worth knowing, he knows it. He will also give you a locals recommendation of bars to check out and places to go afterwards. A real gem. He even went so far as to give me a lift to tmobile afterwards so I could sort my plan out with them. An absolute gent and a great tour guide. Get up early, get that coffee and learn about Nashville early in the morning before everyone else is out of their bed from the night before. It's worth it, I promise!

The Best Tour in Nashville - It's early so there isn't anybody on Broadway... which is what makes it so amazing! Coffee was wonderful and we actually got SEE Broadway. The guide was incredible and after the tour ended all the Honky Tonks were open. If there is one tour to go on than this is it.

Not to be missed! - Wish we could leave a rating higher than 5! Paul stepped in at the last minute to give us a tour and he was stellar and generous. He knows his stuff, and he’s funny and really knows how to engage with his audience. We came away feeling we had learned a lot about the history of Nashville. The early starting time is a bonus when it’s hot, as it was today. Highly recommend this experience!!

Early morning in Nashville - This was the perfect tour for me! The early start (8:30am) allowed for a cooler and quieter tour and the coffee was an added bonus! Our tour guide, Cody, offered a great blend of music, political and architectural history as we walked through the beautiful streets of downtown Nashville. I really enjoyed seeing the city in its quieter moments and, as the tour wrapped up around 10:00, live music could be heard in restaurants and bars along Broadway. I highly recommend this tour!
