Downtown Nashville

Welcome to Woolworth on Fifth! The Art District of Nashville was once ground zero for the Civil Rights Sit-ins of the 1960s, and we do our best to help you (re)live the pain, struggle and ultimate triumph of the Nashville Freedom Riders, who refused to kowtow to the unjust laws of the Jim Crow South.

Tennessee State Capitol

The Tennessee State Capitol.

Downtown Presbyterian Church

One of the only examples of Egyptian Revival architecture you will see in the United States, in a church! A gem in the heart of the city.

Ryman Auditorium

Back to where it all began. The Soul of Nashville. The Mother Church! And it's seedy underbelly...Tootsie's...all rolled into one. A tour for both sinners and saints, a tour for all of us.

We a great day! Our tour guide gave us a great mix of history and fun facts about Nashville. Loved seeing the music scene and the river and the old side of town. Loved walking but do be aware Nashville is a hilly city! Thanks for the great tour!

Fantastic tour! Best we've ever been on, anywhere. Even our 14 year old who hates everything right now L-O-V-E-D it! We didn't want it to end. Ryan was amazing--he was injured, in pain, just about passed out, but didn't let it slow him down-- and even chatted with a bunch of us after the tour when I'm sure all he wanted to do was go home and lie down! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Nashville--from its founding to its more recent musical history--got us really excited to come back to Nashville when we have more time to really explore it. Ryan is a great ambassador for the city!!
Before the tour we got lost driving to downtown and Ryan kept in contact with me by text to make sure we got there ok--above and beyond!
Thank you, Rahn! Hope your back is much better now.

What a fantastic and informative way to see Nashville. Our tour guide Ryan was awesome. We waked all over the city with Ryan pointing out some great historical facts and unusual stories. Felt really relaxed and was certainly Well worth the price. Would highly recommend. Ps . There is a lot of walking and I'm not very fit but it never felt too tiring as there wa lots of stops along the way.
