The Best of Nashville HOP

Head Out - HOP · December 11, 2023

April 28 - May 4, 2024

Founded along the Cumberland River in 1779, Nashville is near the center of Tennessee. It is best known as the Capital of Country Music, with attractions such as the Grand Ole Opry and the Live Radio Show, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and sites like the famous Parthenon, Music Row, and famous bars like Tootsie’s.

Listen to the live music and see the city lights on Broadway Street, the most visited street in Nashville. Behind Broadway's famous honky-tonks is the iconic Ryman, constructed in 1889 and renamed the Grand Ole Opry in 1943. Both are iconic buildings that share the same deep-rooted country history.

Visit places like the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the General Jackson Showboat, Belle Meade Historical Site and Winery, as well as Andrew Jackson's Hermitage.

Belle Meade was a historical site with many skirmishes during the Battle of Nashville, which was host to Andrew Jackson, Generals Grant, Sherman and Hancock.

Tour the vineyard that’s owned by Kix Brooks, of Brooks & Dunn, and many other fun sites like the Jack Daniel's Distillery, The American Picker's and Antique Archaeology, the Marathon Museum and moonshine sampling for free, which are huge attractions!

There are several historical attractions, old plantations and Civil War sites, and you can learn about Nashville's history while visiting these historical sites and iconic buildings.

Let us do the complex and time-consuming work of planning a vacation and also driving you there, while you sit back, relax and enjoy!

Board a luxury motorcoach and enjoy a leisurely ride in and around Nashville with a knowledgeable local tour guide.

HOPs are fun and exciting, especially when shared with like-minded people!
