For fans of the classics, tours of the RCA Studio B—where Elvis recorded over 200 songs—are a must. It’s often paired with the Country Music Hall of Fame, making it easy to see memorabilia, historic instruments, and actual recording spaces in one go.

Johnny Cash fans can dive into the story of The Man in Black at his dedicated museum on 3rd Avenue. It’s compact, powerful, and filled with handwritten lyrics, guitars, and photos that span decades of country history. Nearby, you’ll also find the Glen Campbell Museum, which offers an intimate, lesser-known but equally heartfelt experience.

Want something a little more current? There are several Taylor Swift-focused photo tours and guided experiences that highlight places tied to her early career in Nashville. These are great for superfans or groups looking to blend sightseeing with a little stargazing (and a lot of Instagram moments).

Some guided music history tours also spotlight stories behind the icons—taking you through Music Row, songwriter haunts, and old recording studios with behind-the-scenes insights you won’t get from a museum plaque.

Short on time? Look for combo tours that include stops at multiple museums or offer “drive-by storytelling” from a golf cart or bus. They’re ideal for soaking in a lot of legend in just a couple of hours.

Whether you’re chasing nostalgia, honoring your favorites, or introducing the next generation to the icons of country, rock, and pop, these tours help bring the music (and the artists) to life in unforgettable ways.
