The Nashville self directed app was fantastic! It was a great way to wrap up a business trip by exploring a city new to me, when I was available (and could pause when needed). GREAT GUIDE!

Thomas_R

hard to get on phone, took over 1 hour. after the Ryman theater there was no communication, did a better job walking the street and seeing everything myself

Laura_L

Got everything set up b4 we left g or tge tour... parked and started our walk to the "starting point" tried to follow directions given by app... HA! It led us in circles up hills and never led us to the address listed. There are mot many posted addresses so it was tough to even know where we were at all. After a few blocks we gave up. Waste of money.

I loved going at my own pace and stopping for pictures along the route. Learning the history, hearing recommendations for restaurants and bars, and getting the overview of downtown were really helpful. My favorite stops were the walking bridge, the Country Music Walk of Fame, and Goo Goos, but just seeing the scene along Broadway was such fun!

Enjoyed the naration. Sometimes hard to sync with walking partner. Otherwise very informative. Thanks

Great way to get to know Nashville. It is nice that you can pause it at any time, move it back if you didn’t hear it well, or just keep going!

This walking tour was Spectacular. Fantastic narration and interesting facts. A perfect amount of walking with plenty of opportunity to pause and enjoy the area. We stopped for some drinks and dinner along the way and didn’t start the walk until 6p and LOVED ending the tour with the neon lights on broadway. The app functioned well- took me a minute to figure out how to redeem the TripAdvisor code but you can also just buy it through the VoiceMap app and skip the hassle. 10/10 recommended

Susie_K

Tour was good. Easy way to learn about Nashville. could pause the audio which was nice. Setting up in the app was terrible. You didn’t send me a valid code for the VoiceMap app so I had to call customer service to receive it.

It gave you a good layout of Nashville with some history and good advice. I highly recommend it , if you want to learn about the city.

This tour gives a great overview of nashville and the downtown points of interest. It is filled with general knowledge and some special and very interesting fun facts and some nighttime activity tips. The directions are very clear and the location and proximity based playing of tracks functions very well on this tour, even without wifi / data connection. Very godd value for money, especially since it seems that there are none touristy tours in nashville, as all i could find were ghost or music/singing related tours.
