We had the most amazing time with Steven in Nashville. From beginning to end we couldn’t have asked for more. Steven is informative, fun, talented and extremely knowledgeable about Nashville!!! We have done tours in many places and this was by far the best ever. We saw everything we wanted to see and more - and learned a lot. I highly recommend Steven and his tour.
This review is just the BEST EVER Joanne! So glad y'all decided to extend the tour for a total of 4 hours. It went by so fast! I so enjoyed getting to meet and spend time showing you and Joe around Music City during your stay. I hope you'll come back again when y'all have even more time to explore even more of what our city has to offer. Please keep in touch and hope to see y'all again real soon! -Steven

Thanks Amanda for this AMAZING review and so glad you keep booking me each year you visit from Australia and trusting me with showing your family around...excite to see you and meet your sister next Spring!
This is our 2nd tour with Steven and it was even better than the first since he remembered where we went the first time and made this trip special. He is a very knowledgable, fun, and deeply interesting guide. We all waled away with a 100% review!
This is the best review John thanks so much! Glad y’all were able to see even more on the second time around… This means so much coming from locals who live here! Excited to show y’all around again when you have guest visiting in town soon! -Steven
A wonderful experience. Steven was very knowledgeable the entire day was incredible bless his heart Thanks Steven for making this a great time for us
Thanks so much Mel! I loved getting to celebrate yours and Donna's 25th Wedding Anniversary here in Music City...hope you'll come back to visit again when you have more time to stay!
I wasn't sure what to expect when me and my 5 friends signed up to tour Nashville with Steven but it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. Steven told us we would be "speed dating" Nashville for the day and it was a perfect description. We saw so much of the city we didn't even know existed and Steven was just the right amount of informative, charming, and allowing our group to do it's own thing. I can't recommend this tour enough!
Thanks so much Candice! This review is just the BEST and I can't thank you again for the opportunity to show you and your friends around town...please keep in touch and come back to visit again real soon!
Fantastic tour, can’t recommend enough. We have done many tours of Nashville and this was by far the best. Steven was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Thanks so very much Tracey for this FANTASTIC review! So glad y'all were able to enjoy and learn new things on the tour even though y'all live in the area and have taken many tours of the city! I hope to host y'all again in the future when you have out of town guests visiting again soon...-Steven

If you are coming to Nashville and don’t book a tour with Steven you are truly missing out on a perfect day with true star of Nashville. From the moment he picks you up to the moment he drops you off the day is filled with so much thoughtful and planned stops and experiences. It was our second time doing the tour and we are so pumped for our next one. Life is short….book the day!
Thanks Cousin Joe! Loved having another opportunity to be your guide and getting to meet some of your friends this trip…can’t wait for the next adventure with y’all on your next trip to town! -Steven
Steven was a fabulous tour guide during my 60h birthday trip to Nashville. For starters, he sang happy birthday and presented me with a birthday Moon Pie complete with candles! It was just the beginning of our VIP treatment. Steven was engaging, fun, accommodating and knowledgeable—our three hour tour flew by! He even sang/performed one of his original songs with his guitar. If you don’t book with Steven, you are definitely missing out!
Thanks so much Jill! It’s reviews like this one that keeps me wanting to continue going the extra mile for guests coming to visit Music City! Please come back again real soon to see even more of what our city has to offer! -Steven
Nashville Steve gave us a fun, warm private tour—great sights, singing, and even a surprise celebrity call!
This tour was so much fun and thanks again for the opportunity to host y’all again while in Music City…such great memories made that I will never forget! -Steven
