Wonderful experience! Beautiful sights, knowledgeable guide, and a great way to see some of Nashville! David was fantastic and Captain Levi made sure we were safe and good to go!! 10/10 recommend!! : )
We had a great time! Captains David and Levi did a fantastic job of navigating and giving us insights to the Cumberland River and Nashville! Also.....cold drinks!!! Highly recommend.
The staff was very friendly. The history tour guide had an excellent conversational matter. I found the information very interesting. The boat was clean and it was a very pleasant afternoon.
Dave and Levi did a wonderful job showing us the beauty and history of the Cumberland and its impact on Nashville through its long history.
We were able to book this tour the same day after I cancelled a much more expensive cruise. Nice, smooth ride up and down the river. Guide was very informative and shared a bunch of interesting facts about Nashville's past and showed us some interesting sites along the way. Long tour for the money, good tunes, and beverages for an additional cost. Highly recommend!
That Dave and Levi were Great. Dave said that he has only been doing this for a couple months. I will come back to ride again.
Tour gave a lot of Nashville history. We went 5 miles one way, turned around, and went the other way for 7 miles. Mostly trees to see, as well as one heron and one deer.
Excellent tour on pontoon boat on the Cumberland river. On a hot July day in Nashville, being on tje pontoon boat provided shade and a constant breeze, which made it super pleasant. Your set off exactly on time. David, our tour guide, was personable, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable and did an absolutely outstanding job. Our skipper, Captain G, navigated us safely, first about 40 minutes upriver, and then downriver, about 15 minutes past our casting off point on the east bank by the stadium and past Germantown, before we turned around and landed right on time at the pier 2 hours after the start. Saw and heard about wildlife, lots of local history, and beautiful stretches of nature along the riverbank. Highly recommended!
Guide was very good and informative was cooler on the river than outside so we were happy about that.. wish we saw wildlife but no luck
Well worth the price. Great captain and tour guide. This is a must do on the Nashville to do list.
