About
- Our signature tour! If you don't know where to start, start here!
- All Ages Welcome!
- The Live Nashville! Walking Tour is a trip back in time when riverboat gamblers and Indian fighters ruled the day. When honky tonk outlaws and domineering record producers duked it out for control over what would become the one and only Music City.
- Relive President Andrew Jackson's most famous duel and meet Timothy Demonbreun, the first citizen of Nashville, with his, ahem, two wives, untold mistresses and umpteen kids. Come along as Johnny Cash makes history on the Grand Ole Opry stage...right before he gets kicked off of it. Presidents, generals, suffragists, Cherokee warriors and pill-popping rock stars abound on the original REALLY ENTERTAINING TOUR. Not sure what tour to book?
- Book this one and get ready to be entertained!
