Electronic malfunction resulting in the tour guide talking without speakers.
You can be either upstairs or down. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were very humorous and taught us a lot about Nashvilles history. Very hot 99 degree day so went early at 10 to be best most of the heat. Loved it!!
Thank you for such a great review! We’re glad you enjoyed the flexibility of our double-decker bus, along with the humor, history, and friendly service from our team. And choosing the 10 a.m. tour on a 99-degree Nashville day was a smart move! We’re delighted you still had a wonderful time discovering Music City with Gray Line Tennessee.
