Highlights
- Tennessee Performing Arts Center - This is Music City, of course we have world class venues for live performances. Our first stop of the tour will focus on the Tennesse Performing Arts Center and the War Memorial Auditorium
- Tennessee State Capitol - One of the oldest operating state capitols in the United States is right here in Nashville. Our walk through the Capitol grounds will uncover the important historical moments in Tennessee’s history. One of our favorite stops of the tour is overlooking Bi-Centennial Park from atop Capitol Hill. The views and pridefulness of the state of Tennessee are on full display throughout the entire park.
- Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum - What was the most amazing concert that you’ve been to? We’ll share stories here of some of our favorite memories while we uncover all of the amazing performances that have taken place at the Municipal Auditorium. Also home to the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, a must visit during your Nashville Vacation.
- Printer’s Alley - Not only home to Nashville’s booming printing industry of yesteryear. This alley also has some interesting tales from the prohibition era as well as a jazz club scene that will have you returning after sundown.
- Robert’s Western World - If you’re in Nashville to party, you’re not alone! The nightlife on Broadway can’t be beat. While we’re not on this tour to boot scoot & boogie we can certainly send you to the best honky tonks in town. Roberts Western World being our personal favorite, walking through the doors is like going back in time. The prices are stuck in the 1960’s as well!
- Music City Walk of Fame - Located in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame the “Music City Walk of Fame” showcases some of the most influential figures in Nashville’s music history. Definitely a great stop for photos!

Great Learning & Exercize Opportunity - You must ring the big Liberty Bell. We learned a lot of history about the city and many famous people. The views were great and we saw places we wouldn't have seen if we didn't take the tour. Our host Bill did a fabulous job!

Recommended Nashville downtown walking tour - Bill Bailey really was an excellent tour guide, so friendly, funny and informative, he sure knows his stuff about Nashville history and culture and he can recommend good restaurants and places to go. The tour included plenty of sights and places of interest. It’s a slow paced casual walk which ends with an ice cream. Highly recommended and thank you Bill!

Best time in Nashville!!! - This tour was soo much fun! Our tour guide Bill was incredible and very informative. The places we visited were beautiful and perfect picture spots. I went with my best friends and learned so much about Nashville and we also got extra information because we had a lot of questions and Bill answered every single one without fail. I recommend it 110% and for my friends and me, it was worth it (The ice cream was also really good!!).
