Historic Nashville on the Discover Nashville Tour

• The tour is perfect for individuals, couples, or the entire family. You'll start with a driving and sightseeing tour of Historic Nashville. Officially planting its roots as Tennessee's capital in 1812, Nashville is home to an abundance of Southern history, historic buildings, and sites. Relax and enjoy as you tour around town taking them all in!

Tennessee State Capitol Building on the Discover Nashville Tour

• You'll also see Nashville's awe-inspiring State Capitol Building. This architectural beauty stands at 206 feet tall, 236 feet long, and 109 feet wide, and is modeled after a Greek Ionic temple. Making the building even more intriguing, the famed Philadelphia architect, William Strickland - who considered the structure to be his greatest achievement - is entombed in the building's northeast wall!

The Parthenon on the Discover Nashville Tour

• Visit the Parthenon without traveling to Greece! It's right here in Nashville. In the 1840's, a local educator, Philip Lindsay, thought Nashville should encourage the ideals of Classical Greek education such as Philosophy and Latin and be known as the Athens of the West. As you can probably guess, the name stuck!

Music Row on the Discover Nashville Tour

• Travel down Music Row, home to a wide array of international recording studios. Located in the historic downtown area of the city, Music Row is close to the Parthenon as well as the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Ryman Auditorium on the Discover Nashville Tour

• For a bit more Nashville history, you'll see the Ryman Auditorium, former home of the Grand Ole Opry. Hailed as the Mother Church of Country Music, some of country's biggest stars and legends started their lustrous careers here. The Grand Ole Opry was broadcast from this location from the 1920s until the mid 1970s, when it moved to the new Opry House on the Opryland Complex. For four months out of the year, though, the Opry is once again broadcast from its original home at the Ryman.

Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum on the Discover Nashville Tour

• Possibly the biggest treat on this tour is the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. A treasure-trove of audio clips, video clips, and one-million carefully selected items is presented to you in stunning array. All are laid out to tell the story of country music, its stars and its heritage. The story progresses chronologically as you wander through the museum's displays and exhibits.

Honky Tonk Row Drinks & Refreshments on the Discover Nashville Tour

• Your tour will be complete with live Country music and refreshments at a downtown Honky Tonk. Whether you go with a friend, spouse, or the entire family, this tour provides the best glimpse of all there is to see in Nashville.
