Traveler reviews
Really enjoyed learning about the Opry
Great behind the scenes tour of Opry. Our tour guide was great! Learned so much about the history and what Opry means in the music industry.
Second Rate
Tour was rushed, very poor to little description of exhibits by guide. Tour was primarily watching a series of videos and rushing from site to another. Don’t waste your money, go to the Ryman Theater for a VERY GOOD TOUR AND EXPERIENCE!
This was incredible -...
This was incredible - amazing to walk in the footsteps of all the musicians who have graced the historic Opry stage. The videos were engaging and informative, and our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The tour did move on from the dressing rooms quite quickly, so ensure you get your turn to look. Getting to stand on the stage itself was amazing - however I will say the photo is quite expensive to buy. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to any music fan.
Our tour guide was so...
Our tour guide was so good. I enjoyed the history and seeing/standing in the circle. I wish the group had been a little smaller. It was hard to see things when others were always in the way taking pictures of everything.
We will be back!
It was awesome!! We booked it last minute, but it was a great tour. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family!
