Each option includes its own photo gallery, overview, key features, traveler profile, and direct Viator link.
Private and customizable Nashville sightseeing
Nashville VIP Style Private Tour with Local Singer-Songwriter
Best for: Travelers who want a customizable Nashville overview with a local host and private vehicle.
This is the most flexible of the three experiences and is centered on a private driving tour of Nashville. The guide is a resident singer-songwriter, so the outing blends city commentary with a live musical touch. The route is built around several neighborhoods and landmarks, with optional photo stops and short breaks rather than a fixed walking itinerary. Start and end timing depends on your itinerary and the guide’s availability, which makes it a practical choice for travelers who want a tailored city overview. Private transportation and a few snacks and drinks are included.

Guided Memphis brewery tasting
Memphis Signature Guided Brewery Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a social tasting experience with included transport and a clear food-and-drink focus.
This experience is the most structured food-and-drink option in the group and centers on Memphis craft breweries. It includes behind-the-scenes visits at three breweries, with beer samples and a snack included along with round-trip transportation. The tour is led by an expert beer guide, so the emphasis is on tasting, brewery process, and local beer history rather than city sightseeing. The itinerary notes show that brewery stops can change, so travelers should treat the listed sequence as a sample rather than a fixed route. It suits visitors who want a guided, social outing with transportation already handled.

- Round-trip transportation is included.
- Beer samples, snacks, bottled water, and an air-conditioned vehicle are included.
Walking tour of Nashville music landmarks
Walkin' Nashville – Music City Legends Tour
Best for: Travelers who prefer a walkable, story-driven tour focused on Nashville’s music legacy.
This is a walking tour for travelers who want a concentrated look at Nashville’s music identity. Rather than covering the city by vehicle, it follows a sequence of downtown-related stops tied to music, landmarks, and local stories. The guide is a music journalist, which gives the tour a strong narrative focus and makes it especially suited to guests who enjoy context and storytelling. With a shorter time commitment than the other two experiences, it works well as a focused add-on to a broader trip. The only explicitly confirmed inclusion is that fees and taxes are covered.
Walkin' Nashville – Music City Legends Tour
- It is led by a long-time Nashville music writer.
- The shorter walking format keeps the experience compact.
- All fees and taxes are included.
