The Ryman has such... - The Ryman has such amazing history and I learned a lot about the venue and was an easy stroll on the self guided tour. I think I would spend the little extra and do a guided tour but either way is definitely recommended!

I Loved the Ryman - The movie about the history of the Ryman was amazing. It was one of my favorite places in Nashville. And to stand on the stage and get my picture taken was so unreal. To be where all the legends once stood was something I’ll never forget!!!

Must see! - This was our favorite place to see for the history of country music. We just did the self guided tour and learned so much. Loved that they included a picture on the stage, unlike the backstage tour at the Grand Ole Opry where they charged extra for the photo in addition to the fee for the backstage tour.

A Must-Do in Nashville! - Our visit to the Ryman Auditorium was a highlight of our Nashville trip. We opted for the self-guided tour, which included a souvenir photo (don’t forget to pick it up in the gift shop at the end!). The experience was fantastic—rich in storytelling, beautifully presented, and full of history that gives you goosebumps. Sitting in the original pews, you truly feel the soul of ""The Mother Church."" A deeply moving experience that connects you to the roots of Southern music and culture. Highly recommend!"

Historical - We did the guided tour which was 45 minutes with a guide and then time on your own to explore more. Tour was very interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable. Only downside was parking in the garage acrodd the street and being charged $30 for 2.5 hours.
