Holly did a good job presenting the stories. It was ger first time with this tour and I'm sure it will only get better. I'd recommend a tour with her and would live to experience another tour with her as our guide.
The event was canceled. We were notified too late, and it went unnoticed. We're tourist. The event was planned around this 8pm start time. 4hrs prior was burned. Including the planned 2 hrs for the event- that's 6hrs of once-in-lifetime events that could've been accomplished. And BTW, it was a bone-chilling 40 degrees outside (waiting and walking to the rendezvous point.
Our tour guide was great. She had amazing information and good stories to tell. Unfortunately not everything was open, but that was nobody’s fault as it was Christmas Eve. I enjoyed what we saw, just limited info on true crime. Good enough only.
Our guide Nestor was great. He was super personable and very knowledgeable. The sites we went to were good and the marshmallow cocktail at the very neat rooftop bar was delicious.
Nestor was an excellent host, super knowledgeable and personable. We had such a unique, personalized view into many unique spots in Nashville, you wouldn't otherwise discover.
They take you to spots off Broadway. Which are nice little gems. The booze spots along the way, you gotta drink em quick.
Stevie was an awesome tour guide. She made the experience fun and personalized. I appreciated that she didn’t cancel even though it was just two of us. The proves she’s a real one. You’re lucky if you get her as your guide.
Very good and informative . We ended up having a private tour as only 2 people signed up . The guide loves his job and can talk about ghost stories for hours . Love all the stories we heard .
We had a wonderful time during this walking tour. Our guide was INCREDIBLY knowledgeable and took us to see some really cool spots, including a bus at a rooftop bar! Highly recommend.
Walling tour but distance is not far. Entered Printer’s Alley. Wouldn’t have found it without the tour
