Goodness, there’s something about a classic tour that really has a neat vibe to it. Here in Nashville, we’re entrenched in history and pop culture. We’re referenced by music bigwigs and make multiple appearances in history books, so there are definitely quite a few places to visit and facts to learn. Which tour would you take?

- Music City Pub Crawl
Music City Pub Crawl - TripAdvisor A two-hour walking tour plus a couple of great drinks? That sounds like a solid tour to us - no fuddy-duddy costumes here!

- NashTrash Tours
Troy DeRego - Flickr Known as one of the most entertaining tours on the Nashville circuit, NashTrash Tours is headed by the hysterically adorable Sheri Lynn and Brenda Kay, the Jugg Sisters.

You’ll be charged at $20 penalty fee - per. person.
- The Hermitage Plantation
