• H8728MMsueh 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great time Leonard was amazing in giving us information on the town . He had a great personality and he made the trip fun. Definitely worth booking the trip. Read more Written April 11, 2024
• 775vickien 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Missed due to unavailable parking Sadly, although I was there 15 minutes early, I was expecting there to be parking available. That isn't the case. You must find street parking or a lot in a busy downtown area. I don't walk well, so parking far away wasn't an option. I did drive around looking for parking, but wasn't able to find something appropriate in time. The tour looked like fun, but the parking situation didn't work for me 😔 Read more Written April 10, 2024
• sewilson1224 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles I’ve been on the general Jackson twice and plan on doing it again. Definitely worth the price. Thoroughly enjoyed it! We went for the eclipse lunch cruise. It was the second time I seen the Tennessee legends tour. It was different from the first. I was there the first night they performed. It was excellent both times the food was good. I plan on taking friends when possible when they come to town to visit me. definitely worth it. Read more Written April 9, 2024
• Sumrtyme 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles An hour well spent My hubby was at a conference so I decided to take the tour solo. I sat in the last row of the upper deck which allowed wide open views. The perfect weather just made it that much better. Our guide Jolene was very informative and pleasant. She talked about hot spots and talked consistently. I would definitely recommend this tour if you have an extra hour and want to learn a little history of Nashville. Read more Written April 8, 2024
• G3538YSjoelp 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles I would Go, But Glad we went. The show is very good. The service is very good. It's a well maintained boat. The only downside is the meal. I would give it 3 of 5 stars. I believe they should upgrade the meal. Is it good, yes but that's all I'll give it. You can eat it but everything else is so good. So I would tell you to go but understand the meal is very average. Read more Written April 7, 2024
• E3047DEjillm 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Everything was wonderful! Julie was wonderful! Very friendly, fun and knowledgeable. Great tour to kick off your Nashville experience and plan the rest of your stay. I recommend the morning tour so you can go back to the Country Music Hall of Fame after having lunch if you'd like more time. The tour group stops there for an hour and half, but it is a lot to see!

• ClickerM 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Interesting Tour...worth the $$ This tour was interesting. Although not all homes were 100% visible, it was cool to see these places. We were thinking we'd see some really big mansions, not really...large houses sure...but for the most part, just extremely nice and not really what I would call secluded. I think our guide was Glen, he was very good. The bus was comfortable and very clean...and the windows were clean...which helps with picture taking. I think the tour is worth the $$.

• tscandrew 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Twas' a great Nashville Experience. Had the pleasure to go on the General Jackson Showboat - overall, great experience. Boarding, although it seemed like a long line, boarded quite fast. The only negative experience was the pre-photoshoot. I don't think the young lady directing was the best fit for the role. Once we were on and seated at our table - it was a buffet style menu which taste wise was pretty impressive. Wait staff - no complaints. Read more Written April 3, 2024

• phatman5 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Nice way to see Nashville Taking the Gray Line tour to view the Nashville area was a good choice. Aside from seeing the sites, we had stops at the Ryman Auditorium, Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Parthenon. It was nice to see these venues for a period of time, however, an additional 15 minutes at the Ryman would have been better. Our tour guide was good and provided lots of insightful commentary. However, the rear speakers on the bus were not on so it was a little hard to hear everything that our guide was saying. Overall, I would recommend this tour. Read more Written April 1, 2024
