Historic Tennessee Bus Tour

Our entire experience was fantastic. Tribute to the king on Monday, july 18 started our week of awesoMe experiences. Next was the bus tour to herMitage and belle Meade plantations. All our tour guides were so inforMative and gracious - a great historical experience! Wednesday a.M. Was a tour of gaylord opry hotel. That place is huge and the many gardens are better than any botanical gardens and it's air-conditioned! We asked how they were affected by the flood of 2010 and were astounded by the amount of damage and how quickly they were able to recover. That evening was the grand ole opry. Even though we hadn't heard of any of them, each performer just got better! The harmony and instrument playing were fantastic! Thursday was a tour of music row and downtown bars. Each establishment had at least one live band, tootsie's had three! 'interesting to walk where all the great country stars had made their hits. On the general jackson tour that evening, the downtown skyline at sunset was so beautiful, the food was very delicious and the show was absolutely amazing. Our only bad experience was on this night - a very rude and inattentive waiter. On friday, we had a glassblowing session with jose at franklin glassblowing and made some beautiful pieces which we had to pick up the next day. Then we toured the holtz house in franklin and had the best tour guide of them all, laura, a fifth generation franklinite! The loveless café that evening was also a big hit! I would recommend a vacation in nashville anytime. Our next vacation there we'll take in the sights and activities we didn't get to experience on this 2016 trip.

Wonderful and informative! Tour bus driver and all guides were courteous and knowledgeable on the subject. We gained a great deal of understanding and information. The buffet was delicious and nicely set up. Gratful to have had the opportunity to see historic tennessee. No complaints. Highly recommend. Well done.

I loved learning about history and loved the plantations. The driver was great and he even sang to us on the bus. He was very good and very funny. He gave information about the places we were visiting and also about nashville itself. I would love to go on this tour again, with the same driver.

Very informative tour on lovely grounds and historic buildings. Gray line employees were exceptionally nice.
