Nashville Walking Tour
They must like to walk outside in the elements. The tour was mostly downhill, but not always. Bring a camera!
Operator response
LOL...Yes mostly downhill. Quite the challenge in Nashville. I have it planned that we are flat or downhill for all of the tour except about 1.5 blocks. About 300 feetish (football fieldish). Thanks! Joe Nashville

Morgan Knows Nashville History
Morgan, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Nashville and not the kind of history you read in a book. The history she told us was personable and very interesting. She piqued our interest in history and knows her city.

Weather doesn’t stop tour!
Morgan was great. Made the best due to rain and tornado warning. Explained history. Related items while in the tornado evacuation shelter. Kept me distracted from weather issues. We were eventually able to finish the tour.
Operator response
I'll share with Morgan! Thanks for the gracious review especially during tornado warning! It happens sometimes. Glad it went well and Morgan's talents during the event. Larry

It was somewhat informative but very high level. It was rushed and shorter than advertised. Expensive for what you get.
