Why Nashville is the Best Destination for Group Tours

For military and family reunions, work retreats and conferences, and community organizations planning a fun group excursion, Music City is your first choice for an entertaining and interactive group tour. If you love country music or have an appreciation for Southern culture and history, Nashville offers something for everybody in your tour group to enjoy. If you’re looking for ideas on where to start, you’ll find a number of local tour operators provide packages suitable for groups of teens, seniors, and everybody in between.

What are you looking for in a day or week-long visit? When it comes to Nashville, great live music is probably first on your list, so if your group has only a short time to enjoy the sights, definitely make one of them a show at the Grand Ole Opry. Each scheduled performances highlights some of the hottest names in country, folk, and bluegrass, and fans are never disappointed. In keeping with the theme, a trip through the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum is another winning attraction.

Bringing a bus full of history buffs? Make room on the itinerary for a visit to the Hermitage, the home of President Andrew Jackson, or arrange a guided tour of the nearby Civil War monuments and antebellum mansions and turn back to clock to experience some of the defining moments in the War Between the States. Be sure also to stop by the State Capitol Building, which was occupied by the Union Army in the final years of the war, and the Parthenon, a replica of the original temple to Athena built for the state’s 1897 centennial exposition.

For large groups traveling by bus or train, Nashville brings on the Southern hospitality. Dinner theatres, live music venues, and local attractions are more than willing to offer groups rates on admission tickets for shows and exhibits, and with the many hotels in the area within walking distance of fine dining and local entertainment, your biggest challenge may come in trying to decide what to do first!
