Mostly a great experience
We loved everything except that when we got to the Country Music Hall of Fame, both Studio B and Hatch were sold out! We paid to have those included and did not get to go to either one. Everything else was fine, but I feel we should get a partial refund for the part that we could not do because of being sold out.

Amazing tour of Nashville
Rick was great. He was super knowledgeable and fun to tour with. He was funny and knew how to give a great tour. We stopped to try hot chicken on the tour which was a great recommendation on his part. He also had great recommendations for food and activities outside of the tour. He was able to give a great history of both the state and the city of Nashville along with fun anecdotes. Highly recommend this tour to learn about the city and see some fun things along the way.
