“We traveled with family and friends, including younger kids and it was really fun! The East Nashville tour gives a chance to see a different Nashville neighborhood than typical tourist downtown/Broadway. You may want a strolled for younger kids but it isn't a hard walk for the elementary school age. There is a lot of food, representative of a lot of great Nashville classics; tour price is kind of high, especially for kids who may not eat all the food, but the guide was great about getting us to go boxes/bags as needed! Courtney knows the city well and is fun and informative and kept us moving without be overbearing.…”
