The Ryman gave you a quick overall history of Nashville, which was interesting! Loved the artist displays.
Vacations Made Easy is a scam to draw unsuspecting people in for a timeshare sales pitch. We wanted tickets in Nashville and thought we’d gone to the official Ryman Auditorium site, only to later learn we’d been hoodwinked. Be sure to validate you’re on the official site of the event, tour, concert, etc. that you are wanting to attend, to avoid this deceptive sales tactic. They inconvenience you by dragging you miles out of the way to visit one of their sales sites and once there use every underhanded sales tactic to sway you into a hasty decision to buy a Westin time share. Shame on any company affiliated with them. Ryman should take steps to distance themselves. Never again will we fall for that trap.
Do not miss this. About 35 dollars. Great info. Short video to begin and then you can visit the entire venue on your own. This is an American must visit location.
Great experience. Short film at beginning was informative and fun. Loved going on stage for the photo. You dont need to be a country music fan to enjoy this, but a MUST DO if you are.
Great tour guide! Excellent and informative tour of the history of the building. Definitely recommend.
Went on a Saturday and did the self guided tour. Glad to see the Ryman still standing after all the years. The introduction film was a great start to see where it all began. From there you get to go into a few small rooms to see some of the apparel and than make your way through the halls to see some of thr Hatch Print posters, into the auditorium. Highly recommend.
I did not know what to expect, my wife wanted to come here but I thought it was Just amazing! I will be telling my friends that this is a must see!
Very enjoyable place to visit, lots of interesting history. Many famous acts have appeared at the Ryman over years, lots of stories and memorabilia.
A Country music history buffs must see. The story starts here. Beautiful building. I strongly consider signing up for guided tour. Lots of memorabilia. Great souvenir store
Simply wow. From the short introduction video to wandering around through musical history. Not just Country. Just about every genre is represented here. A ‘must do’ when in Nashville.
