Overview

This self-guided walking tour takes you through the heart of downtown Nashville with Ed Owen, a long time local guide. He’ll share the history of the Ryman Auditorium and Grand Ole Opry while you walk down ‘Honky Tonk Row’ in Lower Broadway. You’ll also pass by numerous venues owned by well-known names like Blake Shelton, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Kid Rock and more.

By the end of the tour, you’ll know something about the city’s earliest settlers at Fort Nashborough, and understand how Nashville became the ‘Music City’. You’ll get a chance to take the best pictures around from the Siegenthaler Walking Bridge, visit the Nashville Walk of Fame, and hear stories about the Country Music Hall of Fame. You’ll wind up at Nudie’s Honky Tonk, where you can hear fantastic music and feast your eyes on some of the genre’s greatest outfits of the past, including Elvis Presley’s gold lame suit!

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
