This was a trip to Nashville, we’d been planning for several months, and it did not disappoint. We will be coming back - Everything went as planned, and our tour guide was extremely informative and charming. I highly recommend anyone with teenage kids to experience this ride.

Fun! - We were 10 minutes late, and I thought we were SOL, but happened to catch the van as it was leaving the boat ramp. The driver, Dan told us not to worry, quickly and graciously reversed, threw two kayaks in the water and said if we paddled fast we could catch the group. Really appreciate that level of customer service! Once we caught up it was a nice easy paddle, and the skyline views were awesome. It was a scorching hot day so being on the water felt great. Recommend if you're staying Downtown as something different to do besides music and drinking. Our guide Ron (if I'm recalling correctly) was also great. Only downside was I'd rented a paddle board that someone else in the group commandeered, but really I can't complain since I was the one that was late. I was just happy we got on the water. Story moral being, get there early, or at least on time. Anyhoo, 10/10 for Big Willie’s.

Left stranded - The guide me we showed up. I heard from the guide via text confirming the day. I let them know I would not be there but 2 of my friends would be. They confirmed again. My friends tried calling and texting with no response and no one showed at the meet location.
