Nashville is a fun and lively city with a lot more to offer than its famed country music scene. The Essential Free Tour Nashville is designed to cater to all types of visitors, from country music lovers who want to see all the important music landmarks to those who want to delve deeper into the local history. Walking with your local guide and a small group of travelers you will find the Tennessee State Capitol, a prominent piece of Greek Revival architecture. In the surrounding park, guests will find a number of monuments to explore. Here, your guide will give the group a brief introduction to the history and origins of Nashville, starting with its foundation in 1779, just after the end of the American Revolutionary War.
Guests on the Essential Free Tour Nashville will stroll towards some of the music highlights this city is famous for, including the iconic Ryman Auditorium, known as the "Mother Church of Country Music", where some of the most famous stars of country music have played. Following on from here is the Country Music Hall of Fame. This is the place to go to find out everything about country music apart from the Johnny Cash Museum and Café. Here guests will find out more about the life and times of the Man in Black. And it's not just country music venues; guests will also have the opportunity to visit the stunning Schermerhorn Symphony Center, home to the Nashville Symphony Orchestra.
The Free Essential Tour route also passes by some of the most famous religious sites in the city, including the Downtown Presbyterian Church, which catches people's eyes for its interesting Egyptian revival architecture, and the Christ Church Cathedral, a very photogenic cathedral that would not look out of place in a European capital. The majority of tours will take you near the raucous Lower Broadway. Here, guests will be able to let their hair down and experience honky-tonk in all its glory. During the tour, do not hesitate to ask your guide as many questions as you want; they’ll be more than happy to answer them. And, of course, all participants will leave with lots of recommendations and tips for the rest of their stay.
