Thirsty? Here’s the scoop: Some tours might include a surprise sip, but it’s not a sure thing.

You Won't Regret It! GREAT Tour!
This was truly a 5 star event! This Walk/Eat tour was exceptional and allowed us to experience Nashville in a more personal way. The food stops (5 of them) provided variety and truly great food! Our guide was personable and gave such great history information on Nashville as we strolled through the downtown area. A definite “must do” if you're traveling to Nashville!!

This tour, hands down, was the best decision we made to do to kick off our trip. We got the lay of the land, learned a lot about the city, and got to explore hidden gems we wouldn’t have found on our own. It helped us to figure out what we wanted to see or do for the reminder of the trip. We went back for a full dinner to one of the stops later. Paige was amazing. Personable, funny, and knowledgeable. She does love her city and it shows. Highly recommend this for anyone who is visiting for the first time.
