Trolley Tours in Tennessee

There’s something undeniably charming about exploring Nashville from the seat of a classic trolley. Whether you're soaking in the city's storied past or scoping out the hottest new honky tonks, trolley excursions offer a laid-back, picture-perfect way to cruise through Music City.

One of the biggest draws? Trolleys blend history and sightseeing with convenience. Hop-on hop-off options let you roll through top spots like the Ryman Auditorium, Broadway, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and Centennial Park—all at your own pace. No parking hassles, no stress. Just hop off when something catches your eye, and hop back on when you're ready to keep going.

If you're looking for a quick overview with plenty of freedom, the classic Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley is your go-to. With stops at must-see locations like the Ryman Auditorium, Country Music Hall of Fame, and Bicentennial Park, it’s a stress-free way to explore at your own pace. On the flip side, if you'd rather stay seated and take it all in, there are fully-guided loop tours that give you the whole picture in one easy ride—no planning required.

Not sure which to choose? If you're short on time or traveling with kids or older adults, the guided loop is a breeze. If you're the type who likes to explore a bit, hop-on-hop-off is the flexible favorite. And during peak travel times, we typically see these tours fill up 1–2 weeks in advance, so it's smart to plan ahead.

Trolley tours are curated by locals who love their city and it shows. They’re a cozy, conversational way to discover Nashville—no honking traffic or confusing maps, just good stories and great views.
