Customer Reviews
Emma was fantastic! We met some new friends and sampled amazing food. Despite the rain, we had a great time!
Excellent tour. Great way to see Nashville outside of the tourist areas, through the eyes of a local. Our tour guide Sean was very knowledgeable of not only each of the locations visited, but with the history of the area. His insider connections in the local food and music scene only enhanced the experience. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from Virgin Gifts
Hello Stephen, So pleased to see this tour exceeded your expectations! What a great way to experience the local scene of Nashville, taste the local cuisine, and enjoy the music. We are glad to hear that Sean was a great guide with insights on the local restaurants, music, as well as the local history. I will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Your recommendation and feedback for this experience is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ryan
Kevin was very good, couldn’t order any drinks of your choice, had to be what they gave, to pay an extra 40 dollars for that, I thought that was wrong.
Response from Virgin Gifts
Hi Louis, Happy to hear that Kevin treated you guys well as they always do on the Nashville Secret Food Tour with Drinks experiences. This is certainly something that we can take back to our partners to possibly having our customers have a preference in drinks could certainly make for a better experience. Best wishes, Rashieda
