Cool off with this tour

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.

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.

Fun on the river

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!
