“This was a really nice tour to take with friends and family. They showed us all around Nashville, answering all of our questions and played great music. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I had rescheduled this tour two weeks ahead of time and I was charged $76.45 for the reschedule. I emailed Cruz in Nashville twice and never received a response. None of the other tours I rescheduled charged a fee and no where in cruzzins paper work does it state they charge a rescheduling fee. I feel I was over charged for the reschedule.”
