    Tasty walking tour!

    Carie was great. She sent us a text with her photo and where to meet for the tour. After a quick history of the Hermitage and their bathroom…you read that right! We were off. This was a nice walking tour. Everything felt like it was close together and we didn’t have to walk too long to reach each location. You get savory and sweet on this tour and you get to sample some Nashville hot chicken from Prince’s. I would recommend, hopefully it’s not 95 degrees out!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the 5 stars! I’m glad Carie made it easy to find the group and got things started with one of Nashville’s more... unexpected bits of history. 😂 Our Downtown Nashville Food Tour is designed to pack a lot into a comfortable walk, with local stories and a mix of savory and sweet tastings along the way. I’m glad you got to sample some Nashville hot chicken on your tour, too! And 95 degrees? You definitely earned every bite that day! Thank you for braving the Nashville heat and for recommending Walk Eat Nashville.

    Great food tour of downtown Nashvilee

    Paige was fantastic. She explained everything we saw and gave us little tidbits that made it very interesting. The food was excellent and we got a good flavor of what Nashville has to offer. I highly recommend this tour. We were stuffed at the end of the tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the 5 stars! Paige has a knack for finding those little Nashville stories and details that are easy to walk right past, and I’m glad they added so much to your experience. We want our Downtown Nashville Food Tour to give guests a real taste of the city beyond Broadway—both through the food and the stories behind it. And we definitely don’t believe in letting anyone leave one of our food tours hungry! Thank you for the recommendation and for choosing Walk Eat Nashville!

    Great bites and a fantastic guide

    Sterling was the kind of guide who makes you feel like you’re hanging out with a friend who just happens to know all the best bites and coolest history. Every stop was a win. We learned fun facts without it feeling like a lecture, and we’re already planning the next one. Come hungry. Leave grinning.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the 5 stars! I love your description of Sterling—it captures exactly what we want a Walk Eat Nashville tour to feel like: exploring the city with a local friend who knows where to eat and has some great stories to share along the way. “Come hungry. Leave grinning.” That pretty much sums it up! We’re especially glad to hear you’re already planning your next tour. Each of our Nashville neighborhoods has its own food, history, and personality, so there’s plenty more to discover. We look forward to having you back!

    Nashville off of Broadway

    Great time, great food. Our hostess was wonderful- personable and knowledgeable. It is quite a bit of walking- so just a heads up if you have trouble with that. Otherwise, it’s a great experience that was a highlight for our family group.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the 5 stars! I love hearing that our Downtown Nashville Food Tour was a highlight for your family. Getting off Broadway to enjoy great food, local stories, and a different side of downtown is exactly the experience we hope to create. And thank you for mentioning the walking. We cover about 1–1.5 miles over roughly three hours, so it’s helpful for future guests to know what to expect when deciding if the tour is a good fit. Thank you for choosing Walk Eat Nashville to be part of your family’s time in Nashville!

    Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nashville.

    How much does Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway cost?

    +

    Prices start at $145 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 Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 77 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 Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway?

    +

    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 Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway?

    +

    Around 27 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway 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.

    What is included in Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway?

    +

    Included: Professional local guide; All Fees and Taxes; Lunch; and Gratuities for restaurant servers. Not included: Gratuities for tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
