Team Event - REQUEST RED

Cassandra_W, Oct 2023

Red was amazing! She had us laughing the entire time, and was very knowledgeable about the city and had a lot of fun facts.

Good eats while learning some Nashville history

michelle_s, Jul 2023

Definately get your fill of a variety of food sprinkled with some Nashville historical knowledge from our guide.

Great time!

Ostra_J, Feb 2023

Great time hearing Clark share history of Nashville and he took us to great spots to eat! He was a wonderful guide.

Great Nashville Tour

MELISSA_M, Jun 2022

Kurt was great. We learned a lot about the city of Nashville and ate lots of yummy food along the way. We would highly recommend this.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thank you so much for your recommendation and for joining our tour! We're so glad you had a great time with Kurt!

Perfect Day!

Jen_S, Mar 2022

Our tour guide Scott was wonderful! He was engaging with our entire group and brought us to some really tasty eateries while also giving us a bit of Nashville history. I would definitely recommend the driving tour as you get to see more of the surrounding area. The food selection highlighted the local cuisine and the portions were more than an enough to feel satisfied at the end.

A taste of Nashville

Chris_G, Jan 2022

We enjoyed getting to see Nashville, hear some history, and behind the scenes stories. We loved the four food tastings we did and our tour guide, Scott, was great!

Dabble Food Tour

Lori_R, Jul 2021

Loved seeing all the different sites and yummy food and drink. Kurt was very knowledgeable, took great pictures for us and had recommendations of what to do after. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Sep 2021

We're so glad you enjoyed the experience. Thank you so much for joining us and for the recommendation!

Excellent Tour

Alan_C, Jun 2021

This was 1 of the best activities we did while in Nashville. Kurt was our guide and he was fantastic. He was on time, fun, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our group. He took us to some great places to sample the local food and beer and pointed out different places in the city other than Broadway and the Opry. Our only regret is that we did not take the tour the 1st day there as we would have found so many more differnt places to go and eat other than the typical touristy places. Highly recommended!!

Response from Host, Sep 2021

We're so glad you chose to join us for a few hours of exploration and we appreciate your kind review! It's our pleasure to share a great time with you and we hope to see you again in the future!

Fantastic guide, fabulous food!

Katie_D, Jun 2021

Fantastic tour! Red was awesome. Everything was smooth and efficient, and the food was delicious! The portions are small, but with 5 stops, it’s definitely enough for a meal. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Thanks for the great review. We're so glad you had fun with Red! We are so grateful you joined us and hope to see you again next time you visit!

Dance

Paul_B, May 2021

Excellent information. We had lots of questions about where to dance and the type of music we wanted and Scott answered them all. It turned out to be a great idea to do this first as it set up the rest of a really nice trip.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Paul, we're glad you found some places to "cut a rug" in Music City. Scott knows his places and we've got some serious dancers and musicians doubling as tour guides, so we hope you ran into them at some of their own favorite spots after the tour! Thank you so much for joining us and for the five star review!

First time in Nashville, a great introduction

Richard_B, May 2021

Kurt was great. The history and showing us the neighborhoods was exactly what we wanted. Small local eateries and meeting and speaking with the owners was fun.

Response from Host, May 2021

Thanks so much for touring with us and for your compliments. We're so glad you had a great time and hope to see you again next time you visit.

Sandy K, Oct 2017

The tour its self was awesome. The tour guide was great as were all the places he took us. He had a great knowledge of the city, so that combined with the food stops were great. I definitely recommend it but the reason for the 3 stars was because it was not a private tour as originally planned. There was a lot of confusion with Viator about the booking even though I got an email confirming it. Finally it was confirmed a couple of hours before the tour. The individual I spoke with at Viator didnt have a good knowledge of what was going on.

susan T, Oct 2017

We had a great tour with TJ! He was very accommodating, even picking us up at our rental house on the East side. He was very knowledgable about Nashville and friendly. TJ drove us by many Nashville sites and we ate at some good BBQ places. He even threw in a Craft Brewery because he thought we be interested. We had a great time.

Casie W, Sep 2016

Dennis was fantastic. He did a great job of altering the tour to our group's preferences. The food was also delicious. We were under the impression the food would be sample-sized portions, so we ate lunch before. There was actually quite a bit of food that we weren't able to eat on the trip. We got to bring it with us, but I would recommend doing this trip with a very large appetite. The air conditioning did NOT keep up with the heat the day of our trip. Dennis did his best to try to mitigate, but it was uncomfortable for our group at times. Finally, there was a few mentions of neighborhoods/landmarks, but not many. We would have liked to incorporate more sightseeing in the trip.
