Ryman Auditorium Self-Guided Tours
The Ryman Auditorium Exterior
This is a great look at The Ryman Auditorium at night. With the exterior lit up, it is a beautiful sight to see.
Explore the coveted halls of the Ryman Auditorium when you enjoy a self-guided tour that concludes as you share the stage with the legacy of the legends who performed here. This is your chance to feel the history of the Ryman Auditorium, home to the Grand Ole Opry for more than thirty years. You'll start by sitting in the original pews and viewing a short film presentation narrated by Trisha Yearwood. "If These Walls Could Talk" will take you from the beginning of the Ryman's history through to today. After the film, you can head down to the legendary stage to stand underneath the lights and have a photo taken "singing" in front of the Grand Ole Opry audience! Then you'll be able to explore the fascinating memorabilia housed in exhibit-style cases along the back wall underneath the beautiful stained glass windows. Memorabilia includes everything from Marty Robbins' jacket to Minnie Pearl's famous hat, and also features items from the Ryman's earlier years prior to the Grand Ole Opry. You'll then be able to head upstairs for a view of the stage from the balcony, and be sure to make your way out into the balcony hallway to explore the photos, artifacts, and other items housed upstairs. Photos are welcome inside the Ryman, so be sure to bring along a camera! This is your chance to tour one of Nashville's favorites, the National Historic Landmark often called "The Mother Church of Country Music". About the Ryman Auditorium Backstage Guided Tour The Backstage Guided Tour of the Ryman Auditorium is sure to impress not only country music fans, but fans of music history in general. You'll experience all of the same sights seen on the self-guided tour, along with having the privilege to visit some of the backstage areas of the Ryman, including its dressing rooms. What's more, throughout the tour you'll have a knowledgeable guide sharing interesting facts about many of the Ryman's past performances, ranging from the Grand Ole Opry to R. Kelly. Details

A wonderful experience! Standing on the stage, now that was 1 of the highlights for the day and I was really looking forward to doing this. This was a dream come true, to stand on the stage where so much history was made and where your favoirte performers stood. Wow, what a day to remember, and a wnderful picture for the memory.
The back stage tour was great and we had an excellent tour guide.
The 2nd highlight, was watching the matinee show. This was a bonus, we stumbled onto this event when we signed in. Excellent show and we enjoyed all the country performers, that we would never have seen on our own -- they were all right there, wow!
Loved the Johnny Cash display!
Wonderful event and I would recommend this to anyone who is a die hard country music fan, such as me. I learned about so many in-depth history and details, that it made the Ryman Auditorium come alive in my mind.
The Ryman Auditorium, steeped in history, the performers who have played on the stage, the country family that consists of the performers and the fans.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. The Ryman is beautiful and has so much history. And the staff was wonderful and knowledgable. You can walk right up on the stage. While you there, be sure to record a song. Only 15.00 and you can say you recorded at the Ryman. The songs are limited but you can get a list from the website so you are prepared.

We had the opportunity to play music on stage while our picture was taken and even got some applause from people working on stage and some people sitting in the seats
