Our guide was warm & informative. The intro featuring Garth Brooks was great. It was neat to see the fancy dressing rooms and the “green” room.

This was a girls trip to Nashville. This tour was a hit! So interesting, so well done. My only negative was that because we booked the trip through Viator and not directly, our time was moved from 10 to 10:30. We got there at 9:30 as instructed so had to stand outside in the cold for an hour. The Opry personnel said to take it up with Viator, not them, and said “I should of booked directly with them”. That’s crap.

It was nostalgic and amazing! The feeling I had imagining my steps being the very same as so many historical steps taken by country music hall of famers, legends, current and rising talents was indescribale. When I walked into Roy Acuff's dressing room, I was overcome with emotion. I didn't understand it but I embraced it and appreciated the blessing of it. It is grounding to see and feel the heart of country music in the Grand Ole Opry.
