Itinerary
Ensure that you visit one of Nashville’s must-see attractions with your entrance ticket to the Grand Ole Opry. The famous country music venue hosts live performances by a variety of musicians every week. Enjoy a quintessential Nashville experience as you hear fantastic live music on the stage where many top country music stars started their careers. Then, you can take the tour right after the world-famous Grand Ole Opry show! After you watch the show, see what it’s like behind the scenes. Walk in the footsteps of superstars and get an exclusive look at what happens on the other side of the curtain of the show that made country music famous — right after the show ends. visit the artist entrance where everyone has walked in for the show earlier that night, and you may even have the chance to step on stage and into the famed wooden circle just as a parade of artists have done a few minutes earlier. You’ll also get a glimpse of some of the Opry’s 18 uniquely themed dressing rooms, which help tell part of the Opry story that Darius Rucker and Opry announcer Bill Cody will share via videos. Post-show tours often also make a stop in Studio A, a live television studio and former home of HEE HAW. After you take in an Opry performance, let us officially say, “Welcome to the Family!”

Traveler reviews
Memorable experience
Was super fun to tour backstage! Lots of fun little videos and facts from our tour guide. Loved standing on stage, just wish the photo was included since we paid for the tour or there was an option to use our personal phones.
Definitely worth it!
We had a great time. Not only the show but the backstage tour as well. It was so cool to see what goes on behind the scenes. It makes for a late night if you have younger kids with you, though.
Just Go!!!
