Civil Rights Tour of Nashville

Overview

It is a little-known fact that Nashville was at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement. Students at local historically Black colleges and universities led the way in nonviolent protests in the 1950s and 60s.

Journey with us to attractions and local hideaways around the city that are significant to the Civil Rights Movement on this walking tour.

On this downtown walking tour, you’ll experience the civil rights story and gain renewed activism around race and equality. You’ll learn about the key leaders and events of the movement. This tour reminds us all that the movement is a part of American history, not just African American history.

Highlights
• See rare and unique attractions that make for the best photo ops.
• Experience a fun “behind-the-scenes” take on the story of the Music City with an “off-the-beaten-path” approach.
• Private and group tour options available.

At first, I thought this tour would be just like those ordinary tours. It exceeded all of my expectations. United Street Tours really did a great job! They made sure that we are having fun while touring. It was an exceptional experience for me and my friends. I've learned a lot and at the same time I got to see the beautiful city of Nashville. I loved how approachable our tour guide is. I also loved how full of resources she was and I was fancied by those facts that she told us. It is a must recommended tour for people who wanted to see the city and its history. I am amazed by this tour. I will definitely book another tour from United Street Tours!

The tour was exceptional. United Street Tours did everything to make sure that the overall experience would be smooth and awesome. It was very informative and we definitely enjoyed every moment of it. This is one of the best tours I've ever booked. More so, we were able to learn more about Nashville’s civil rights movement and the result of it as well. Aside from being so educational, this tour is definitely entertaining. This tour deserves a date in your calendar of events for this year. This is a must!

The tour was well designed, cleverly delivered, and packed with information that taught this Nashville professor new things. I highly recommend it and will be bringing all guests on one tour or another until I have sampled them all!
