Eye opening and fun
Brian_F, Mar 2024
Good tour- worth doing for sure even for non-country music fans (me…). Dressing rooms are interesting and going on stage is very cool. I expected the Opening video to be hokey but it was actually pretty cool and and set the mood well. One thought is do the tours later in the day/ evening: it’s possible you could run into the evening acts as they come in to get ready.
Great tour guide, very...

Opry Tour
Joe_S, Mar 2024
The Opry Tour was wonderful. We got to see the backstage area including dressing rooms and memorabilia of stars of the Opry. The introductory film was full of memories of the Opry. We were so impressed that we decided to attend the Opry Show that night, which was great. It seemed like the cost was a bit high until we attended and it was worth every penny.
Must tour while in Nashville

The entire experience was great. First time to Nashville and first time to the Grand Ole Opry. Standing on the very spot on stage where so many entertainers have stood before was amazing.
