    It's probably better to take this tour during the day. It was hard to see some stuff at night. Like the guitar pool.

    Mac and Rusty were the best. Saw so much of Nashville beyond Broadway and learned so much about Nashville.

    Nighttime Fun in Nashville

    Fantastic tour! Saw parts of Nashville I had never seen. Janelle and Bert made the evening fun and informative! Janelle, you have a beautiful voice and it was fun to sing along!

    The Soul of Music City Night Tour is GREAT!!

    We loved our tour with Mac & Bert! My husband & I are Tennessee natives, and have both grown up around Nashville. Mac taught us things we didn't know, all while entertaining us with his songs & music. (Bert was an excellent driver!) We also went down streets that we had never been down before, and are already wanting to go back and do another tour. Loved all the stories & info! The Jefferson Street, and the Music Row part of the tour, were our favorites. We were in Nashville, to celebrate "Dolly Day", so we got to see everything lit up, in pink. Loved that, too. Was a great way to see the city, at night. Thanks for a great tour, y'all! We'll be back!

    Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $49 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 Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 1,192 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Nashville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour?

    +

    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 Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour?

    +

    Around 417 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour 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 Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour?

    +

    Included: Night Tour. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour?

    +

    Tour boards and departs from the gravel lot next to the Hyatt House parking garage. Guests must check in 20 min prior to tour time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour offered in?

    +

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

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Soul of Music City Evening Trolley Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
