I loved Ryan’s energy as he gave a very nice 2 hour walking ‘lecture’ of Downtown Nashville history. I highly recommend his tour.

Very good walking tour, you know when 2 hours go by so fast and you are disappointed that the tour is over. Our guide Ryan was excellent. His sense of humor, non-stop entertaining and informative stories and overall knowledge of Nashville history and current events kept us interested and entertained. Well worth the time for a first timer to Nashville.
