The tour is very informative and the time is well spent. Drew was totally awesome and showed us a lot of things. He also was very knowledgeable about the area. Super, super nice guy!
Enjoyed a very nice tour around city and the many beautiful wall murals . Our guide Joshua was very caring and offered us ample time for photos and needed breaks. We would recommend to future visitors to Nashville
Always look to do a street art tour when I'm vacationing and this did not disappoint. Riley made the tour interesting with lots of stories about the art and about music. Had plenty of time to get off the golf cart and take photos. Fun way to travel around the different neighborhoods.
Even though it was cold Matt was enthusiastic about the tour! We cruised around downtown where he showed us several murals, gave context about the city as we drove to each mural, was great at recommending places to visit if we hadn't already, and was very engaged with conversation throughout!
It is in a golf style cart so consider the climate. The tour guide was as accommodating as anyone could find. He helped me take photos from my phone as I am still inexperienced.
He was entertaining, informative and kind. We walked to the tour but got lost and arrived late. He had just left when we got there. The people at the meeting point reached him and he came back and got us! It was a very enjoyable tour:)
Comparing this to a mural golf cart tour in Miami so may be a little biased. The murals were beautiful and fun to see. Our tour guide, Matt, was friendly to us and had a good knowledge of the area. He did take us to an old car manufacturing warehouse/company with lots of old machines and tools that the guys really enjoyed. We did see a lot of additional murals that we passed by without comment so felt we had a missed opportunity in those spots. The golf cart was a fun factor, but the ride was very jerky with lurching starts and sudden stops. Matt was very vocal about things that displeased him and there was a very loud, verbal rant at some pedestrians crossing the street in the crosswalk with the right away and the walk sign on. This was very uncomfortable for us and anyone nearby witnessing this interaction would definitely think twice about taking the tour which is unfortunate as the tour itself was a good experience
Not worth the money. Our guide was rather boring. We didn't see anything that we couldn't see just driving around the Gulch.
We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet you expectations or ours.

We always want every guest to feel entertained and informed while exploring Nashville. Your feedback is very helpful, and we’d love to learn a bit more about your tour so we can identify where to improve and ensure a better experience moving forward. Please reach out to us directly at thevilletours@gmail.com with your booking name and date so we can look into this further. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and hope you’ll give us another chance to show you the fun, lively experience The Ville Tours is known for!
Tyler was an awesome guide. He took us to murals off the beaten path that most visitors to Nashville would not know about. He was patient with us allowing us the time we needed to take all the pictures we wanted to. It was a great way to spend a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of Broadway!
Thanks so much for the awesome review! Tyler always goes the extra mile to show guests the Nashville murals you’d never find on your own. Glad you got some great shots and a little escape from Broadway!
Great way to see both mural art and get an overview of Nashville. Two hours in a golf cart was much preferable to walking in the oppressive heat. Thanks to JB for being so accommodating.
