The stories from the tour guide were so interesting! We were in awe of the history. The group was a little larger than I expected.

Absolutely AWESOME! This was on our bucket list and it didn't disappoint. We took the backstage tour, and the history was amazing. We were excited to see the dressing rooms and all the wonderful picture of the artists, past and present. LOVED the intro with Trisha and Garth. Definitely recommend this to everyone. I don't walk long distances or climb steep stairs and this tour was perfect. You are so caught up in seeing everything and taking pictures that you don't even realize you have been walking for over an hour. The view from the stage is wonderful. The feeling you get walking into the circle, standing behind the mic for your picture, is absolutely overwhelming if you realize the significance of where you are standing. I was disappointed to see some folks more concerned about selfie than appreciating the history they were missing right before their eyes. Our experience was so heartfelt. To walk on the stage where awesome shows like HeeHaw were filmed was exciting. Everything was amazing. The beauty of the entrance all decorated for Christmas was breathtaking and a great backdrop for a picture with my family highlighting the Opry. We hope to catch a show there in the future. Definitely worth the time for even the most persnickety traveler. We highly recommend a visit, over and over. The love and pride you feel from the moment you arrive until you leave is definitely something everyone should experience at least once.

This was an amazing experience. Our tour guide was awesome! I can’t remember his name but his birthday was 11/7 😆 I only remember because it’s the same day as mine! Learned a lot and had a blast!
