Learn about the music stars who have made Music City their permanent home, including the band members from the Kings of Leon, Justin Timberlake, The Black Keys, Keith Urban, Michael McDonald, Keb’ Mo’, Sheryl Crow, Paramore, Hot Chelle Rae, and Jack White.

    Amazing tour of Nashville

    Rick was great. He was super knowledgeable and fun to tour with. He was funny and knew how to give a great tour. We stopped to try hot chicken on the tour which was a great recommendation on his part. He also had great recommendations for food and activities outside of the tour. He was able to give a great history of both the state and the city of Nashville along with fun anecdotes. Highly recommend this tour to learn about the city and see some fun things along the way.

    Very cool

    I have been a big fan of Johnny Cash and finally I got to see his museum. It was worth the trip to Nashville from Bakersfield CA.

    Great experience

    Rick was an excellent guide. He was a true gentleman and knew his way around Nashville quite well. It was a fun time!

    It was pleasant but just ok

    The tour guide was really kind and knowledgeable about the buildings and the history associated with them. However, I personally wouldn’t pay for this tour again. It was a bit pricey. I would’ve rather just paid the $25 for the Johnny Cash Museum and walked around the city on my own.

    We loved it!

    Ed was an amazing guide. I asked us what we want to see and showed it to us. Ed shared a lot of his knowledge about the city, the history of the city, ... Very cool!

    Response from the operator: Hi Frank, Thank you kindly for your review. It's absolutely great to know that you had a pleasant time with Ed, he's undoubtedly an amazing guide and we're thrilled you got to experience a little piece of Nashville with him. We hope you'll join us again soon to discover more cities together! Best wishes, Travel Curious Team

    Private Walking Tour with Johnny Cash Museum Admission: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Walking Tour with Johnny Cash Museum Admission cost?

    +

    Prices start at $235 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 Private Walking Tour with Johnny Cash Museum Admission 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 Private Walking Tour with Johnny Cash Museum Admission worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 Private Walking Tour with Johnny Cash Museum Admission?

    +

    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 Private Walking Tour with Johnny Cash Museum Admission 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 Private Walking Tour with Johnny Cash Museum Admission?

    +

    Around 2 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 Private Walking Tour with Johnny Cash Museum Admission 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 RCA Studio B & Country Music Hall of Fame Ticket Combo, Nashville's Wildest Honky Tonk Public Party Bus (21+). 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.
