This is an intimate tour of the intricate sites and neighborhoods of Nashville from the up-close perspective of a 30 plus year local resident & business owner, professional musician, historian, and former professional published and recorded songwriter. This is not a packed bus tour with a loudspeaker. You'll be able to ask questions and have a conversation with the guide, and see some of the hidden gems of Nashville you don't commonly see on corporate tours. You'll hear unique perspectives and stories you won't hear elsewhere. It's truly an unforgettable experience.

Pickup Locations & Times
I will pick you up at your hotel or AirBNB or a pre-determined agreed upon location and return you when the tour is done. My Toyota Highlander seats 4 passengers comfortably but can accommodate 6 with the backseat, although it is a little tight and harder to get into, but it's perfect for smaller adults or kids. If more than 6 are desired, we can rent a van for up to 12 or 15 at an extra cost. Typically they run $500-$600. Reach out if that's an interest

Wonderful experience, very talented guide!
We had the music, history, neighbourhoods, eateries hidden gems half day tour, and it was a great time! What a marvelous introduction to Nashville. And Steve is so excellent! Lot of stories and fun. We like music, in all its variants, so we cannot choose a better guide, that’s for sure.

Two people best option
STEVE knows so much. We had a group of six. Hard to see from back of vehicle and impossible to interact personally. It was a bit long just because it was more of a lecture than interaction.

One of the best tours we have had. Educational and FUN..
Steve was a great tour guide. He tailored our tour for my family and I. We have had family tours in other states. One of the best ones we experienced was in Savannah. Our tour of Nashville with Steve is now our best experience. He is very knowledgeable, personable and a great tour guide. This is something I highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Nashville. You'll see Nashville Through The Eyes of a songwriter and long time resident. We will definitely be booking again on our next trip. See you soon Steve.

You won’t be disappointed!
I had a customized Nashville tour, to include stops at some of the local battlefields and other historical sites. Steve is well-versed and is passionate about his role as a tour guide. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on him again or recommend him to anyone wanting a tour of Nashville and the surrounding areas.

We absolutely loved our tour with Steve! He is so knowledgeable and knows all the hidden little gems in Nashville. Not only that, but to hear his personal stories with the country music city, was so intriguing.
