Jake and Chris were both amazing! Jake (our driver) had an awesome personality, very friendly but not too friendly. And Chris (the owner) was very polite as well. They truly want everyone to enjoy their time in Nashville! We will most definitely go back to them when we make another trip! I don't typically give reviews, much less 5 STARS but they have earned it for sure!

The tour guide does a wonderful job of explaining the history and giving lots of examples. It is a short tour but very well worth it. It was better than the Country Music Hall of Fame that was the main part of the ticket.

Everything from our tour guide to our wine tasting servers was excellent and first class! A little known history on our parts was after seeing Churchill Downs and noting all the winning horses. We learned that Bonnie Scotland, the sire line of Belle Meade since around 1872 is one of the most prominent in American thoroughbred history. He sired so many winners of the Kentucky Derby and even the Triple Crown; Secretariat, for example. We recommend this tour to any and all even slightly interested.
