Tours of the City Walking Tours The City Walk is a marked trail of two miles (three kilometres), which begins at Fort Nashborough and ends at the Hatch Show Print Shop on Broadway. Visitors should either follow the blue line or obtain a leaflet from the Visitor Information Center, Gaylord Entertainment Centre, 501 Broadway, corner of Fifth Avenue (tel: (615) 259 4747; website: www.nashvillecvb.com). Bus Tours Numerous companies offer bus tours of Nashville, invariably focusing on the country music scene and often including a drive past the homes of some of the stars, such as Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. Grand Ole Opry Tours (tel: (615) 889 9490 or 883 2211; website: www.gaylordopryland.com/transtours.cfm) has the advantage of being able to include an exclusive backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry building as well. The full bus tour lasts three hours and costs US$27.65, departing from Gaylord Opryland's Magnolia Canopy, 2800 Opryland Drive. Other companies include Gray Line Tours (tel: (615) 883 5555), Johnny WalkerTours (tel: (615) 834 8585) and the off-beat NashTrash Tours (tel: (615) 226 7300). Other Tours The Nashville Carriage Service (tel: (615) 758 8629) and the Second Avenue Carriage Service (tel: (615) 244 7113) provide horse-drawn carriage tours of historic Nashville. These start from the junction of Broadway and First Avenue and usually run after 1900 Monday-Saturday, at a cost of about US$25 for four people for 20 minutes. |
