Nashville, 4 days
A Nashville country music tour of four days, three nights and a lot of steel guitar, with hotel, shows and a tour leader in one vacation package. We get you a seat at the Grand Ole Opry, behind the scenes at the Ryman and into the studio where Elvis and Dolly recorded, then show you where Nashville goes when the tourists are on Broadway.
From $1,890per person in a double room
A long weekend that does Nashville properly: the Opry live, a backstage morning at the Ryman, Studio B, and a songwriter night away from Broadway.
Categories: Country & Americana, Live Music Nights, Studio & Backstage. Destinations: Nashville. Getting around: tour van. Tour leader: Wade Pruitt or a colleague from our team.
Seats for the live broadcast, as it has gone out since 1925.
The daytime tour of the Mother Church of country music.
The original console, the lights set the way Elvis liked them.
The writers behind the hits, playing them in turn.
The honky-tonks worth your time, with a tour leader who played them.
After dark
Every evening has a show, and Broadway, Printers Alley and the Station Inn are within reach after it. Your tour leader stays out as long as anyone wants.
Traveling solo
Nashville is easy alone: bars with no cover, bands that talk to the room. We pair solo guests with roommates on request.
Your tour leader
Wade Pruitt, based in Nashville. Played bass in Lower Broadway bands for six years and has led our Nashville and Austin groups since 2018.
3 live shows in the price
Show nights follow the club and theater calendars; your tour leader confirms each evening the day before.
Pickup at the airport and check-in downtown. In the late afternoon the tour leader walks the group through Lower Broadway and Printers Alley, explaining the four-hour shifts and the tip jars, and the evening starts with a welcome dinner and a band at Robert's Western World.
The morning starts with the backstage tour of the Ryman Auditorium, standing on the old stage. Then the Country Music Hall of Fame with a guide and lunch at a meat-and-three. The afternoon is free, maybe at the Johnny Cash Museum. In the evening, seats at the Grand Ole Opry House for the live show.
Music Row in the van, then RCA Studio B. The afternoon is yours. At dinner time the van goes to a songwriters round, at the Bluebird Cafe when we win seats or at another listening room, where three or four writers play the songs they wrote for others. The farewell drink is at the Station Inn.
A late breakfast and a last walk to the river. The van takes guests to the airport from about eleven, or you can stay on at the group rate.
Hotels within walking distance of the clubs, or a short ride away, or similar of the same class. Breakfast is included every day.

Pace. Easy. Short walks and plenty of sitting: shows, studio tours and the van.
Good to know. An easy pace with short walks. Bluebird Cafe seats are released online a week ahead and are never certain; the songwriter night moves to another listening room if we miss them. Opry lineups are confirmed about two months ahead.
Weather and changes. Shows and studio visits run in all weather; if a venue cancels, we replace it with one of the same kind and tell you in writing.
Most of our guests fly in on their own, drive, or use miles, and the tour price does not include flights. If you would rather we handle it, we book round-trip economy flights on scheduled airlines to Nashville and back, and the airport pickup on the tour dates is already included.
