RCA Studio B
Choose One: RCA Studio B OR Hatch Show Print. Studio B Tour is a guided tour that was once the recording home of popular music titans such as Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold, and the Everly Brothers. RCA Studio B first became known as one of the cradles of the "Nashville Sound" in the 1960s. A sophisticated style characterized by background vocals and strings, the Nashville Sound both revived the popularity of country music and helped establish Nashville as an international recording center. The Hatch Show Print Tour is a tour of the iconic block letter press print facility that is still creating and printing concert posters today. You cannot go wrong with either but you can only choose one!!

Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum
Self-Guided Tour included: The Musicians Hall of Fame not only recognizes the stars who are well known to the public, but the musicians who played on so many hit records as studio players. For example, The Monkees, sang on their records but used the same group of studio musicians as The Beach Boys on their most famous recordings. These same players recorded with Frank and Nancy Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Elvis Presley. The museum houses the instruments used on hundreds of these iconic recordings. For example, Joe Osborn’s Fender jazz bass used on all The Carpenters records, Mamas and the Papas, The Grass Roots, Simon and Garfunkel to name a few while in California and many more country hits after moving to Nashville such as Lucille by Kenny Rogers.

FANTASTIC PACKAGE DEFINATLY VALUE FOR MONEY. Great that you can use them over a few days. The Ryman was the best experience in the package

Great way to experience Nashville
We did this whole experience in one day. It was a rush though even with the Parthenon and Capital stops closed. I recommend doing this over 2 days for sure to take your time. The hop on/off trolley was amazing and the drivers were entertaining. Great way to experience Nashville.

Great way to see it all!
We tried to cram it all into two days and three probably would have been better. We did all the things we could walk to easily on the first day (in the Broadway area) and saved the trolly for the second day for the further away locations. So, I think we only went through 4 stops in total on the trolley. Haha! But we loved all the paid stops, especially Old Smoky and the Musicians Hall of Fame. The package was totally worth it, just needs good planning if you want to get it all in. Otherwise, I would recommend taking the trolly all the way around to get the highlights and then pick 2-3 paid stops to spend your time at. Maybe even get a 2-day trolley pass so you can save your feet. I would pick Musicians Hall of Fame over the Country Music Hall of Fame unless you are a huge Country Music Fan. However, I do recommend the Studio B tour put on by the Country Music Hall of Fame - very cool! Then add on the Johnny Cash or the Patsy Cline museums. That’s probably enough to get all the museum fills.

Great value and easy to use. Every museum accepted the vouchers without issue. We got to see a bunch of great locations for a single price. The app was easy to use and the tours and museums were great.

Circle Pass: Johnny Cash, Trolley Tour, Ryman, Ole Smoky & More: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nashville.
How much does Circle Pass: Johnny Cash, Trolley Tour, Ryman, Ole Smoky & More cost?
+
Prices start at $219 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nashville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Circle Pass: Johnny Cash, Trolley Tour, Ryman, Ole Smoky & More take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nashville is not rushed.
Is Circle Pass: Johnny Cash, Trolley Tour, Ryman, Ole Smoky & More worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nashville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Circle Pass: Johnny Cash, Trolley Tour, Ryman, Ole Smoky & More?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Circle Pass: Johnny Cash, Trolley Tour, Ryman, Ole Smoky & More suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Circle Pass: Johnny Cash, Trolley Tour, Ryman, Ole Smoky & More?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nashville can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nashville and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Circle Pass: Johnny Cash, Trolley Tour, Ryman, Ole Smoky & More start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nashville within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nashville?
+
Nashville's activity mix is unusually music-heavy: Ryman and Opry backstage tours, RCA Studio B sessions, songwriter rounds and honky-tonk crawls on Broadway. Around that sit distillery runs to Lynchburg and general-admission pedal taverns. Outty Ranking penalises the crawl operators that oversell group size, which is the most common complaint in this city. On Outty we rank every Nashville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Nashville: Authentic Food Tour with 5 Tastings of Local Dishes, Nashville's Wildest Honky Tonk Public Party Bus (21+), Nashville RCA Studio B & Country Music Hall of Fame Ticket Combo. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nashville?
+
April to May and September to October, when patios open and the humidity drops. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nashville?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
