Singing, Selfies & Secrets - Four hours wasn’t enough. Steven shared stories, stopped for pics, pointed out unique and unusual places and serenaded us with an original song. It was an excellent way to spend an evening and be introduced to Music City. Recommend!

The Steven Whitson, Nashville ‘Tur’ is an immersive experience of Nashville’s music and history. - The Steven Whitson, Nashville ‘Tur’ is an immersive experience of Nashville’s music and history. Music was timed throughout the day/night. He had it perfectly queued to play as we drove by each place he talked about. We were listening to words like ‘darker than tobacco row’ as we were driving down Tobacco Row. Being a local singer songwriter himself, he knew all the local places to see and visit, that you wouldn’t find on your own, but he also brought you to the well-known places that anyone would want to see while visiting Nashville. At one of our stops, Steven even sang an acoustic version of one of his own songs just for us. WOW! That was one of my favorite parts of the tour. We definitely recommend this tour and if we find ourselves back in Nashville again, we will be calling Steven.

Heart and Soul of Nashville - As our girls' trip came to an end, we couldn't help but reflect on the incredible journey we had shared with Steven as our guide. His passion, enthusiasm, and genuine love for Nashville had left a mark on us, and we knew that our visit would not have been the same without him. For anyone looking to truly experience the heart and soul of Nashville, a tour with Steven is an absolute must.

The sweetest 50th experience! - Beyond the typical tourist attractions, Steven introduced us to hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path locations that truly captured the essence of Nashville. His insider knowledge and connections allowed us to experience the city in a way that few visitors ever do. From an impromptu original song performance on his guitar, every moment spent with Steven was filled with Southern charm and fun! He came into the house with his guitar singing "Happy Birthday" to me with a moon pie, a lit candle, a gift bag for all 8 of us, and a hug! It was such an amazing and personalized experience that I highly recommend. We may just have to come back next year for the same experience! Thanks so much, Steven!

Great tour of the city. - When it comes to touring a new place, having an informative and entertaining guide can make all the difference. And in Nashville, there's no better guide than Steven. During our recent tour of the city, we were lucky enough to have him show us around, and he truly went above and beyond to make sure our experience was unforgettable. Thank you for a great time!

Girl’s Trip - We experienced so more on this “TUR” as Steven says than we could have just own our own. One of the tour highlights was when Steven took us around to some of the hidden gems of Nashville, the places not on the regular tours. It was exciting to explore the city from a different perspective, and Steven's knowledge of the city's history made it all the more remarkable.

Attention to detail sets this tour apart!!! - What set Steven apart as a tour guide was the personalized touch he brought to our experience. He took the time to get to know each one of us by name (first and last) tailoring the tour to our interests and preferences. Whether we were exploring the famous honky-tonks on Broadway or pointing out the hidden gems of the city's music history, Steven's attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel like VIP guests!

Steven brings the Southern Charm. - Steven's passion for his city was so infectious! His enthusiasm showed through in every aspect of the tour he had planned for us. As a singer/songwriter himself, he had a deep connection to the music culture of Nashville, and he shared this connection with us in a way that was both engaging and enlightening. His insights into the music industry, the iconic venues, and the artists who have graced the city made it even more personable!

50th Birthday fun! - REVIEW #1: Our girls' trip to Nashville to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday was such an exciting adventure. Little did we know that our experience would be elevated having Steven as our private host/guide throughout Music City. From the moment we met him, it was evident that Steven was not just any guide; he was a true Southern gentleman. He was such a knowledgeable and personable tour guide journeying us through the Nashville music scene and history along the way!
