Stories, Songs, and Southern Nights
This three-day experience brings you into the rhythm of Nashville at a natural pace. You’ll explore iconic studios, listen to the music that shaped generations, and meet the people still making it happen.
Your first evening begins with a welcoming dinner and some of the city’s best live music. For those who want something more personal, there’s the option to join a private party with a local band in an intimate setting.
The second day is dedicated to Nashville’s deep musical roots. You’ll visit the Country Music Hall of Fame and RCA Studio B, where classic recordings still echo in the walls. The afternoon offers time to discover the city on your own. In the evening, the energy of Broadway takes over, or you can choose a quieter, exclusive night with Nashville songwriters sharing their stories and songs in a private setting.
The final morning is unhurried, with space for one last walk, a good meal, or a visit to the National Museum of African American Music before your departure.
This tour is for those who want to connect with the sound, soul, and everyday magic of Nashville.
Sample Itinerary
Check in and take the day as it comes. Wander through a few neighborhoods, stop into a local shop or bar, or just walk until the sound of live music catches your attention. No rush. Nashville works best when you let it unfold naturally.
In the evening, we’ll gather for a welcoming dinner—something casual but thoughtful, with flavors that reflect the city. Expect the best live music of the night to come right after, either at a local favorite or somewhere that surprises even longtime locals.
Start the morning at the Country Music Hall of Fame. There’s a lot to see, but it’s the small things
Then it’s off to RCA Studio B, where you step into the same room that helped shape decades of recordings. The space still holds something.
Lunch is included, somewhere that keeps things simple and solid.
The afternoon is open. You might want to check out the Johnny Cash Museum or find a quieter spot for music.
In the evening, Broadway turns the volume up. There’s music in every direction. Some of it’s polished, some of it’s loose. Either way, there’s plenty to hear.
Optional tonight: a private party with Nashville songwriters. It’s a chance to hear the stories behind the songs, straight from the source.
If you have time before leaving, grab a slow breakfast or take a walk through a part of the city you haven’t seen yet. The National Museum of African American Music is an option if you’re looking for one more stop. Either way, it’s a good day to keep things simple, followed by transportation to the airport or where your journey home begins.

Visit legendary studios, enjoy live performances, and hear stories from the people behind the music.

Itinerary Structure & Flexibility
The itinerary shown above is a sample outline intended to demonstrate the overall flow, experiences, and inclusions of the tour. Specific days and the order of activities may vary depending on departure dates, RCA Studio B session availability, and local event schedules. Nashville is a dynamic creative hub where live music set times and festival logistics can shift, requiring us to remain adaptable to ensure the most authentic experience.
We plan carefully and remain flexible, always prepared with multiple contingency options to ensure a meaningful musical and cultural experience. While minor adjustments may occur, the core components of the sample itinerary—including visits to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Broadway’s historic venues—reflect what we fully intend to deliver on each tour. Final, date-specific itineraries are shared closer to departure.
Live Music Disclaimer
Because live performance is the heart of the Nashville experience, schedules at iconic honky-tonks or private songwriter sessions are sometimes fluid. Changes in set times, specific artist lineups, or designated music venues are part of the reality of a city where music is a lived, daily tradition. When these shifts occur, we work closely with our local partners and musician hosts to provide equally compelling alternatives. We remain committed to navigating these changes to maintain the creative integrity and historical depth of the tour.
Travel Pace & Activity Level
This tour is moderately paced and designed for travelers who enjoy being active while exploring a city deeply. Expect regular walking, including guided tours through the Country Music Hall of Fame and the bustling Broadway district that may cover several miles over the course of a day. Guests should also expect getting in and out of vehicles, navigating stairs in historic buildings and intimate music venues, and spending time in lively urban environments.
While this is not a high-intensity or athletic tour, it does require a comfortable level of mobility and the endurance typical of immersive city travel. This includes the ability to remain active during both daytime historical visits and late-night musical outings, as well as managing the varied weather conditions typical of the Tennessee region.
Accessibility & Private Tours
If you have mobility considerations, accessibility needs, or prefer a slower or more customized pace, we strongly recommend inquiring about a private tour. Given that many historic Nashville landmarks, older music venues, and preservation sites include stairs, narrow passages, and limited elevator access, private tours allow us to tailor the itinerary, transportation, and activity level to best suit your needs while preserving the spirit of the experience.
