We really enjoyed this tour. Lots of great, modern info, and some cool stories about the history of Nashville. Occasionally, it got noisy on the street and it was hard to hear. Also, it took a little getting used to the app and to figure out how to use it. Once we got the hang of it, it was super easy. I would totally recommend this. Allows you to tour the city at your own pace, and stop and start as you please. An inexpensive way to see a great city.

The self guide audio tour stared at the Ryman which was great as we toured Ryman prior to attempting the audio tour. Unfortunately this was on a Saturday and our next stop was Broadway. The noise level was too high and we couldn’t hear the audio. I think this would be great to use Monday thru Thursday.
