Old Town Trolley Tours Nashville

We had the BEST time on our Nashville Trolley with Drey. He taught us so much and also made us laugh numerous times. My kids (ages 12, 10, and 8) said that the trolley was the best part of our time in Nashville. We highly recommend the Trolley ride to anyone visiting Nashville…
My family and I enjoyed a tour of Nashville last week. Dave was our driver/guide. Dave was spectacular or should I say “SPECTACULAR” in describing the sights and history of your vibrant city. His enthusiasm was palpable. Dave should be getting the compensation of your CEO but just don’t take him off of his trolley!
Took my first trolley tour for my first trip to Nashville. Brian “with an I” gave the tour and he did a phenomenal job. I enjoyed your stories and knowledge of Nashville. There was never a dull moment and I am boggled at how well you can drive and maneuver that huge bus in such tight turns. I have referred your company and Brian to everyone I have told about my trip! Thank you!
Thank you very much for an excellent experience in Nashville! It was our first time there so the information we received on the tour was extremely helpful! Each guide had their own story and perspective on the city we now love so much! Each ride was on time and full of such valuable information it made our trip so much better than it would have been!…
I just wanted to let your company know how much my husband and I really enjoyed the Tour with “Patty”. She was so informative and funny! Can’t wait to tour other towns with your company!
My colleague and I were recently in Nashville for a convention and we took a trolley tour with Randy. He was an excellent tour guide!! Very funny, had a terrific knowledge of the city, and he made the trip quite educational AND enjoyable. Thank you, Randy! And I’ll be sure to recommend Old Town Trolley Tours to anyone I know who visits Nashville.
Had several different drivers as we hopped on and hopped off… they were all equally awesome. They all knew the city and the history very well and were very funny and welcoming. Great way to explore Nashville especially when it’s hot and you don’t want to walk around all day. Highly recommend.
An absolute must when one is new to a city and has no idea where to go and how to get there. This is my 3rd in this country and I have taken them overseas in Paris and London. Just wonderful!
We recently traveled to Nashville and took a day to enjoy your Trolley Service. We had a wonderful time. Our tour guides were great and our favorite was Big Cat. He was engaging and made us laugh.. Your buses are neat, clean and you employ some great staff who truly try to make the experience fun…
My husband and I have just returned from Nashville and we used Old Town Trolley Tours to get around and we just have to say that your driver Jules was our absolute favorite driver that day. She gave all the necessary information with a great dash of her own humor and personality that made the trip so fun! Her love of the city of Nashville shone through each stop on the tour!
We traveled with a group of friends on the Nashville Evening Trolley Tour… Kerrie and our tour guide were fantastic on our tour. They were fun and energetic and made the entire 90 minutes entertaining and informative. Thank you for an amazing experience in a fabulous town!
Buck was the most knowledgeable tour guide for our trip around Nashville. He was entertaining and insightful. We were fortunate to have Buck lead us on our tour of Nashville. You will not be disappointed in the experience with Buck as your guide. Thank you so much!!
My co-worker and I did the soul tour in Nashville. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end! Janice was our guide and she was extremely engaging. Her love of the city and music was palpable. I believe our driver was Trevor… He was awesome as well. At the end of the tour, he offered to wait until our Uber arrived. Kudos to both and definitely 5 stars!
We took the Nashville Old Town Trolley Tour with Tater as our guide. Loved the tour and our guide. He was energetic, funny, and very knowledgeable as well as being kind and helpful. Would definitely return for a tour with Tater.
We just enjoyed a fantastic tour of Nashville with our new cousin Debbie. She was very knowledgeable, funny and a superb host. So pleased to have toured with her. We are from Liverpool, England, which is famous for its comedians (and the Beatles) and she would be very welcome there! Thank you Debbie and Old Town Tours.
…Your driver Trey made our whole Nashville trip a blast. He was so much fun. We laughed until we hurt; hard to believe a bus tour could be so much fun. You’ve got a winner in Trey, keep him if you can.
