This venue was difficult to get to for starters improper directions given making it difficult to get in 100 degrees. No real site seeing or history given, not much to see. This boat ride only serves as a distraction from the heat and no more.
Bad expérience Never do business with you My wife is going through hell because her uncle dies in feburary and no e her aunt the s dying. Today was supposed to be a rest day for my love wife. But your employe gave her bad direction to go to the bout Then my wife started to be anxious because of your négative service. Then we finally found the place and the Guy refused us on the bad This was supposed to be a nice day but because of you and the wrong information the lady gave to my wife This day was totally hell for my love wife
Great experience with fun historical facts:) very friendly captain and great music!
Relaxing, great guides, beautiful scenery. We went in the afternoon and the weather was perfect. Cooler on the river than in town.
My husband and I were visiting from New Jersey and decided to do this river cruise our last day in Nashville and so happy we did. Our cruise was 6/23/2026 at 12:55 we were greeted and checked in by a very nice young man. Captain G and our tour guide Dave were great. Dave was very friendly and full of insight. Highly recommend this cruise it is worth it and fun.
You will learn a lot of history about Nashville Tennessee. It was like being back in school. But a lot of fun , but on a boat
Truly an amazing experience.out first time in Nashville and was unsure what and where to go, I saw the taxi river boat on the water and decided to look it up. I’m so happy I did. I highly recommend booking even if it’s not your first time in Nashville. Even for locals. Smooth sailings, saw some Bald eagles and learned history. Not to mention the music! Loved this. Captain David was as awesome! Such a great experience!
It's educational and they will answer all of your questions. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. There are also ice cold beverage options as well as some snacks.
Great river cruise. Learned some Nashville history.
This is a great way to take in Nashville’s sights and history. Deckhand Dave and Captain G were very hospitable and informative, definitely recommend!
