A well organized and informative tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. We had tickets to the show later in the day, so this was a good “dry run” to check out the parking, etc. The Roy Acuff house that you can pop into as a free add-on may be the world’s tiniest museum!

Very interesting- the videos were well done. We all wished the photos and portraits had name labels on them- not being country Music people we only knew a few of them..
