The Top 13 Music Tours in Nashville

You can’t come to Nashville and not dive into the music scene—it’s the heartbeat of the city. From the legends who built it to the rising stars keeping it fresh, music is woven into every corner of town. Whether you’re a country diehard, a live music junkie, or just curious about what makes Nashville the place every artist wants to play, we’ve got the tours and experiences to tune you in.

Start with the classics. Visit the Country Music Hall of Fame, tour RCA Studio B, or stand in the same spot where Elvis and Dolly once recorded hits. These museum-style tours and icon-focused experiences give you the history, the instruments, and the behind-the-scenes stories that made Music City what it is today.

Want to experience the music live? We’ve got you. From VIP honky tonk crawls to guided live music walks that spotlight rising talent, there are plenty of ways to see the stage come to life—without having to guess where the good stuff’s happening. Some tours even include reserved seating or skip-the-line perks at top venues.

Looking for something off the beaten path? Check out Music Row Walking Tours. These smaller, intimate outings explore the studios, offices, and landmarks where Nashville’s music industry continues to thrive. It’s a great way to dig deeper into the business side of the magic.

If you want something interactive, check out experiences that let you write a song with a local artist, tour a working studio, or even record a quick demo as a souvenir. It’s hands-on, personal, and very Nashville.

Whether you're here to pay tribute to the legends, discover the next big thing, or just soak in the sounds of the city, this is your backstage pass to the real Music City.
