A Little Disappointing
We love to plans food tour of new cities so that we can sample foods of the region. On this particular tour, we sampled hot chicken in a taco, which is not traditional of the region, but at least we got to sample it. Also sampled on the tour was okay BBQ, donuts and truffles. The chocolatier was in the most quaint neighborhood of Germantown and was a treat. We would have liked to have experienced foods such as fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese, and grits. Our tour guide was not the greatest. He had information about the city, but lacked an interest. He even closed the van door before all passengers got out and neglected to close the door at one point allocating one of the passengers to close the door before driving off.

Overview of Nashville, Tennessee
Great way to familiarize yourself with what Nashville is about. Scott is the perfect host for this tour. He knows a lot about the area and where’s the best places/restaurants to go. We really enjoyed this excursion! We highly recommend it.

Best tour ever, well worth the money!
Our guide Scott, was the best! He was very knowledgeable, has a great personality and made it so much fun for us. It was well worth every penny. The food was amazing and we learned more about Nashville in those 3 hours than anyone could learn in a week on their own. We highly recommend Scott, he goes above and beyond!

Taste of Nashville Food & Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nashville.
How much does Taste of Nashville Food & Sightseeing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $129 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 Taste of Nashville Food & Sightseeing Tour 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 Taste of Nashville Food & Sightseeing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,879 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 Taste of Nashville Food & Sightseeing 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 Taste of Nashville Food & Sightseeing Tour 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 Taste of Nashville Food & Sightseeing Tour?
+
Around 658 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 Taste of Nashville Food & Sightseeing 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 Taste of Nashville Food & Sightseeing Tour?
+
Included: Food Tastings; Local Guide; 3-Hour Food & Sightseeing Guided Tour of Nashville; Transportation by private vehicle; and Pass by sights such as Capitol, Bicentennial Mall, Sounds Stadium, Marathon Village, Nissa. Not included: Gratuities always appreciated. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
