You step aboard an open-air minibus and the city breathes around you: honking taxis, distant pedal steel, and the river pushing a cool current beneath the skyline. In two hours a local guide drives a loop through downtown Nashville, the Gulch, and pockets of industrial-turned-creative neighborhoods while murals and historic façades slide past like frames in a short film.
