    My husband and I had an awesome time together. We will never forget how much fun we had from this tour. The tour is definitely outstanding and I wish we could’ve extended the duration of the tour. A bubbly tour guide helped us discover what life is like for locals in the Music City. The staff was very punctual, informative and organized. They were on-point and they were able to cover everything. We then had good food especially the sweet southern tea and traditional Nashville delicacies. You guys were amazing. ‘Til our next trip!

    As a chef, I’ve always wanted to go to Nashville. A friend told me about United Street Tours and that they host great tours in Nashville as well. So I booked this experience to try to hit two birds with one stone and it was one of the best decisions I made. I learned so much about Nashville’s history while eating delicious delicacies. I also learned about the city’s traditional cuisine. The guide and my fellow foodies were friendly, too. My stomach and my heart were full after the meet and eat. I will recommend this to my officemates. God bless you and your team. Two thumbs up!
