Where to begin!!!! Took this amazing tour on 2/25/2022 and I have no words that could describe the awesomeness of this tour. The group leader Darrin was amazing. The other gentleman was so kind and helpful. I truly learned some cool history but also got to explore downtown Nashville no wait to get into bars, great service everywhere, and the drinkssss were amazing. I also made new friends all of the folks on the tour were extremely friendly!!! I recommend booking this tour!!!

OMG! I'm a flight attendant and so I can easily say I travel a lot! I've done more walking tours than most and Derrin was amazing!!! We had so much fun and made some awesome friends in the process Come and have a blast EASILY!!!

The sad reviews saying the tour guide was late... didn't you have fun at the bar waiting for him? And when he got there didn't you have a great time? I did! I've done pub crawls all over the planet and this one was pretty good. Our guide obviously worked his tail off doing multiple tours a day. Yes there could have been a bit more culture and history, but it's a pub crawl, lighten up! He took us to some very chill places and showed us the real Nashville bar scene. Derrin was prompt, respectful and delightful and I'd recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a peek behind the scenes at the Nashville bar life scene and looking to find a cool place to chill with some amazing cocktails!

Let's be honest, if you're over 21 is an "organized" pub crawl that costs $70 to mix all kinds of cheap liquor really necessary? Our tour got pushed back an hour, and then our tour guide Darren was 15 minutes late. He explained that he was the only guide, and he did bring the energy, so I felt a little sorry for him. AND he was Leo D's doppelgänger, so he was adorable. For a man. We went to 4 bars, even though it should have been 5, but Leo was overbooked. So we only ended up consuming 4 shitty drinks, aside from what we bought on the side to fill the void that was supposed to be called fun. We had the pleasure of "touring" with some really wasted middle aged women that acted like they just discovered MD 20/20; but we also met some other nice older women that must have thought they were signing up for a retirement home Villa tour instead of this shitshow Ville tour. If pup crawls are your thing save your money and walk your drunk ass to any number of the plethora of Nashville bars on your time.

We took this tour on a Thursday afternoon! Our guide was Jason and he was great. We started at the Wildhorse saloon and made our way around town. It was fun trying things unique to Nashville! The oatmeal cookie moonshine was crazy! My mom and I had a great time and would definitely recommend doing this if you're looking for an activity.

IT WAS FUN! Had an amazing time last night. Our group was small (4 people) and Darren (our tour guide) made the night awesome! He is funny, attentive and very informative. It was worth our time. Darren was able to break the ice and make the group connect. We've met two other friends to share this fun experience with. I had different drinks/shots, but my favorites are Super Mario, And Jalapeño shots (I forgot what it is called) I highly recommend this/them, and if you're lucky to have Darren as your TG, you're definitely going to have a blast! Thank you, Darren! We'll definitely be back next time!

Derrin was so fun and this tour was a great time! He kept the energy up and the drinks were ones I never would have thought to try.

First trip to Nashville and decided a walking tour would help get an overview of things. Derron was our your guide for the 90 minute Legends of Music City/Historical walking tour. He was funny, knowledgeable and passionate about his city. Shared some local music and vibe with us. We highly recommend this tour and give it 5 stars.

Booked a tour during the day for my buddies bachelor party so that we still had the evening to stuff. Turned out being the best idea ever! This is the best way to see the honky tonks, drink some of Tennessee's finest, hang out, cut up, laugh, and learn a little bit of local knowledge as well. Definitely worth the money. Guides are first rate and Ms. Sherri Lee was the absolute best! If you have a couple hours to kill, you don't know which bar to hit up, and you are properly hydrated book a tour NOW!!! Going to go back and bring the wives this time!

Habanero Whiskey shots

Feeling good

This was the most fun we've had in a long time due in large part to Derrin, our tour guide. He introduced us to some awesome dive bars, local drinks, and local talent. The rest of the group was fantastic and everyone had a Bang Up time. If you've never taken the time to do this in Nashville and even if you consider yourself a skilled navigator of downtown, you won't be disappointed, so give the people a call at The Ville Tours and set this up and ask for Derrin....he was truly original and truly a great guy

THE HISTORY OF NASHVILLE

Nashville, Tennessee boasts a rich history that blends tradition with innovation. Originally settled by European explorers in the late 1700s, Nashville quickly emerged as a pivotal hub for trading and culture. Its strategic location along the Cumberland River played a crucial role in its growth, transforming it into a thriving transportation and distribution center during the 19th century.

The city’s nickname, “Music City,” stems from its long-standing association with the music industry, with the Grand Ole Opry and the birth of country music adding unique chapters to its story.

Over the years, Nashville’s historic roots have merged seamlessly with a modern, vibrant spirit. The city’s role in the Civil Rights Movement, exemplified by the Civil Rights Room at the Nashville Public Library, showcases its commitment to progress and equality.

Today, Nashville’s skyline reflects its contemporary dynamism. Its preservation of historic districts like Germantown and a deep appreciation for its musical heritage continue to make it a beloved destination for travelers seeking an authentic taste of the past and the excitement of the present.

Taylor Swift Nashville concert review: 5 moments from her return on the 'Eras' tour

Believe the hype.

The 'Eras' tour arrived Friday in Nashville with a mountain of expectations. Three nights in a stadium? In the city where her career started? After a mad dash for tickets? And it's her first major tour in nearly five years?

A normal entertainer may balk at these stakes. But Taylor Swift isn't like other entertainers.

Music City's three-night run on the most talked-about tour of the year kicked off Friday inside Nissan Stadium with record-smashing singalongs, show-stopping duets and an only-in-Nashville surprise. Behind Swift's unmatched ambition and sharp-eyed fanfare, it was the kind of show that'll be talked about long after the final song ended.

Not too bad for a girl who moved to Hendersonville nearly two decades ago to chase her songwriting dreams.

Taylor Swift in Nashville: What surprise songs did she song on storm-delayed night 3?

"This dream that I've had since I was so little I can't even remember first having it, this dream came true for me because of this town and the people in it and the love and nurturing and support I received from this town," she said to kick off Friday's show. "I can't tell you how many feelings I have right now."

From swelling crowds to surprise announcements, read on for five highlights from inside opening night of the 'Eras' tour at Nissan Stadium.

More on 'Eras' in Nashville: Taylor Swift in Nashville: Who we want to see surprise fans at Nissan Stadium

Her marathon era

Like the name suggests, Swift covers so much ground in this show. With a 45-song set spanning 10 albums in nearly three-and-a-half hours, 'Eras' embraces a marathoner spirit typically reserved for catch-'em-while-you-can rock icons like Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney.

But unlike blasting "Born To Run" or leading a spontaneous singalong to "Hey Jude," Swift choreographs her set like a conductor would lead an orchestra or a director would deliver a musical. Each moving part — dancers, band members, set pieces — plays a role in telling a story of the "era" being chronicled on stage.

Backed by towering screens and flanked by her reliable dancers, Swift opened the show by inviting her audience into the rainbow-drenched songs of 2019 album "Lover" before donning a sun-soaked dress in a callback to 2008's "Fearless" and embracing a J.R.R. Tolkien-like fantasy for a handful of spellbinding cuts from 2020 album "Evermore." She traveled through the eras in distinct acts with full and abridged songs — like a stadium-sized Broadway production that at one moment soaked the audience in red lighting and backdrops (because, you know, "Red") before recreating a fireside hang for the folk-tinged "Betty" and other songs off Grammy Award-winning album "Folklore."

She offered a fresh spin on well-worn eras — sometimes literally, like when her backup dancers rode beach cruisers across the stage during "Blank Space" — and gave plenty of attention to the four (!!!) albums released since she last embarked on a coast-to-coast tour, including "Anti-Hero," "Bejeweled" and more from the set-closing "Midnights" era.

Her record-breaking era

Swift invited plenty of company to join Friday night's career-spanning adventure. An audience of nearly 70,500 attended the show, setting a single-night Nissan Stadium attendance record, eclipsing past concerts and professional sporting events.

"Oh my beloved Nashville, you're making me feel so good right now," Swift said early in the show. "Tonight is the highest-attended event to take place in the stadium because 70,000 of you decided to hang with us this evening."

And the benchmark may not hold for long. With two more shows slated for this weekend, Swift could break her own record before leaving town.

More: Nashville pop artist Gayle dreamed of opening for Taylor Swift. Now it's a reality

Her fans' era

They dress for the occasion. They sing along to every word (even when it's 10-minute redux of "All Too Well"). They don't leave the stands until the last note rings out. Beyond songwriter, Swift's superpower may be the dedicated fandom that'll follow her through each cryptic clue, ticketing rush and re-recorded album.

On Friday, these so-called Swifties turned out with bejeweled eye pieces (because "Bejeweled"), head-to-toe cloaks (because "Willow"), snake-covered t-shirts (because "Reputation") and tie-dye pastels (because "Lover"). Some came ready to hear songs that climbed the charts before they were born, while others reveled in re-living eras from life's formative years.

And as each new song kicked in, they jumped at a chance to shout each word — like a group of friends passing around the aux cable on a late night filled with unforgettable songs. Only instead of a designated DJ, they're singing along with Swift.

Or, as Swift described her crowd at one point Friday night: "You guys are, like, on fire."

Her surprise era

After weeks of  well-placed clues and TikTok-fueled speculation , Taylor Swift confirmed Friday — mid-show, no less — which album comes next in her expansive "Taylor's Version" project: "Speak Now."

"I've been planning something for a while," Swift said as the Friday night audience exploded with applause. "It's my love language with you. I plot. I scheme. I plan. And then I get to tell you about it."

As the album title and July 7 release date flashed across the stadium screen, she added: "I think, rather than me speaking about it ... I'd rather just show you."

Swift put a bow on the "Taylor's Version" unveiling with an acoustic rendition of "Sparks Fly," a 2011 single off "Speak Now" before taking audience members back to her self-titled debut album with a piano-backed rendition of 2006's "Teardrops On My Guitar."

"Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" wasn't the only time Swift surprised her fans on Friday night, either. The singer enlisted "Eras" tour opener and indie-rock favorite Phoebe Bridgers for an acoustic duet of "Nothing New," a song the two released together on 2021's "Red (Taylor's Version)."

"This is a regular day in my life," Bridgers quipped as she stepped up the microphone hours after performing her own set.

Swift replied, "I feel the same, getting to sing this song with you for the very first time in a sold-out stadium."

Her openers' era

Bridgers played main support Friday, her first night on the "Eras" tour. As on-and-off rain covered the expansive stage, the singer-songwriter and her five-piece band ripped through dad-dedicated favorite "Kyoto," the sobering "Graceland Too" and other cuts from 2020 album "Punisher."

And the first surprise of the night came during Bridgers' set, when she invited Lucy Dacus and Nashville's own Julien Baker — AKA indie supergroup Boygenius — on stage to sing the trio's new single "Not Strong Enough." Running up and down the stage together, the Boygenius members backed Bridgers through her set-closing number "I Know The End."

"We gotta talk about this," Swift said during her set. "You got to see a genius, a friend ... our creative savoir. I can't believe [Phoebe's] on tour with us."
