3.00Tour itself was ok and the guide we had was excellent, however the experience itself was 3/5 overall. We booked a 9.45am tour, however nothing open in the area prior to that for a coffee or breakfast and security left everyone standing outside in the very cold weather until 1-2 minutes before the tour started. A large part of the tour was pre-recorded videos, however, we did get to see back of house and the famous stage area. Photo opportunity was good, but the cost to purchase afterwards was in our view ridiculously expensive, having already paid for the tour. When compared with the Ryman Auditorium tour the Ryman was a lot better.
Just okay

3.00This tour was just ok. Honestly pretty expensive for what we got. Watched a few videos and then we all felt pretty rushed through. The tour group was very large so I felt like we had to hurry up, snap a picture, and move on so others could peek inside the dressing rooms. It was kind of cool to see the backstage and sit down where huge stars have been but honestly, I don’t feel like I learned much or gained a lot from this tour that I could’ve have just seen online. Would’ve loved to hear more stories rather than watch back to back videos.

5.00A must do to get an inside peek at what makes Nashville the country music capital of the world! It's a blend of the old and new. You get an opportunity to stand on stage for a souvenir photo in the Ryman circle. $30 for multiple photos and digital copy. Big gift shop and the live WSM studio right next to the Opry. It is located near a shopping mall. Not what we were expecting but don't be scared when your Uber driver pulls into the mall!
Very Cool

5.00This was fun and informative. It will give a true country music fan chills. It seems like they just put up an animation where Dolly and Lainey interact with each other on video. Personally, I could’ve done without that. Other than that, really great.

5.00We had such a great time on the backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry House, and our guide Kelly made the experience even better. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting insights about the history of the Opry and the artists who have performed there. One thing we really appreciated was that photos are allowed throughout the tour (just no video), so we were able to capture some great memories along the way.
