Bill’s walking tour of Nashville is a high point for anyone who appreciates music history. His open, friendly style combined with his in depth and personal knowledge of Nashville music history makes Walkin’ Nashville a great primer and way to begin a trip to Nashville. Not only was the tour excellent, he then sent some fantastic recommendations of shows to see that were spot on and completed our Nashville live music weekend. Can’t thank Bill enough!

SeamusDDog

Can I leave a six out of 5 review? Is that possible? Cause if it were, I'd do it. Bill is personable, and most importantly, highly knowledgeable. He knows everything there is to know about the Nashville music scene and its history, having been a part of it for so long, and having covered it as a journalist for a while. He seamlessly integrates peoples questions into his tour, and provides some really thoughtful answers to harder questions - eg. about the economics of the Nashville bar music scene and about race and country music, for example. Just fantastic, and great stories.

This tour is a must for any music lover who really wants to get to know the heart and soul of the music city! Our group of 9 people had the pleasure of joining Bill for a tour on a Sunday, even though it's not the usual day (thank you again for accommodating us, Bill). Bill's not your average tour guide - he's like a walking encyclopedia of music knowledge. He'll take you on a journey through Nashville's history, from the iconic Ryman Auditorium to the legendary Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, sharing stories and trivia that you won't find in any guidebook. Bill is not just knowledgeable, he's also incredibly friendly and down-to-earth. We felt like we were exploring Nashville with an old friend, sharing his passion for music and the city every step of the way. So, don't miss the Walkin' Nashville Music City Legends Tour with Bill, we can't recommend it highly enough!

Bill was an excellent guide. His knowledge of music, and the musical history of Nashville, stood out. It was an excellent tour and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

My husband and I love walking tours and have gone on many. Bill’s tour was by far one of the best tours and most memorable tours we have ever been on. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things Nashville and about music. He was funny and shared many personal experiences. He was patient and answered every question the group had. The walking route was well planned. His timing at each stop was sufficient. We did not want the tour to end but we enjoyed his recommendation for lunch and went off to find the restaurant. We were happy to have found his tour and thrilled to have gone on his first tour of the ‘24 season !

Bill is knowledgeable and friendly, and I loved the personal connections he has to Nashville. Thank you for educating us on your amazing city!

ATexanTraveler2

Our tour with Bill was outstanding. As a musician and music journalist, he is a walking encyclopedia of Nashville's contribution to country, rock, and other genres of music. He is a skilled storyteller of the history of the Grand Old Opry and the Nashville club scene, as well as a smattering of general Nashville history. We combined the tour with visits to the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Ryman Auditorium the previous day and came away with a strong overview of Music City's role in American music. Bill is a talented guide with a congenial personality. As the icing on the cake, he provided a restaurant recommendation for lunch that proved to be our favorite restaurant of the trip. Highly recommended.
