    The tour guides here really make the experience shine. Big Jerry gets called out multiple times for being witty, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to be around, while other guides like Jolene, Nick, and Leonard earn enthusiastic praise for keeping things entertaining and informative. Even when someone ended up being the only person on a tour, they still ran it and made it feel personal and engaging rather than awkward. The professional drivers and well-maintained equipment get consistent mentions too. Most folks rave about the Nashville city tour and specialty trips like Franklin and Graceland excursions. Tours feel well-organized with good timing and pacing. The one-hour Nashville overview works great for people short on time who want to hit the main sights, though one reviewer felt it was a bit rushed and not quite worth it given Nashville's layout. There are a handful of concerning road safety complaints from other drivers on the highway that stand out, but the overwhelming majority of travelers had wonderful experiences with friendly, capable guides who clearly love what they do.

    We booked the historic Franklin tour with Gray Line. The tour included guided visits to three historic buildings and a lunch break in Franklin. The tour was very well organized, and the time slots for each attraction were well-planned, allowing us ample time for everything without ever having to wait.
