Customer Reviews
Awesome guide and food. Everything was well coordinated and a fun experience.
Joshua was amazing! He was full of knowledge and brought very positive energy. It was a lot of food, but it was delicious and would recommend it to anybody.
Response from Virgin Gifts
Hello Aaron, I am delighted to hear that Joshua was so amazing! It truly sounds like he was able to make this tour that much better and memorable! The icing on the cake is some delicious food to make for a unforgettable experience exploring the city! We will consider this a 10/10 would recommend to a friend type of tour! Thanks for an awesome review! Best, Brooke
The food options were great, but really too much, we could have split most of the servings for a taste. One other comment is that our guide was a regional manager and not from the Nashville area (he actually lives in Brazil). I would rather have a guide that is local and can talk more to the history of the area and other local insights
