Music City Greeter is temporarily closed. For questions about a trip to Nashville, Visitor Assistants are available 9am-4pm Monday-Friday by phone at 800-657-6910 and email at nashcvc@visitmusiccity.com.
We look forward to seeing you in Music City.
Explore Nashville with the people who play in it every day. Our city-wise volunteers, aka Music City Greeters, will lead you through downtown Nashville for a one-hour walk giving you tips on how to enjoy the city to its fullest. From architecture facts at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum to where to get Nashville’s staple cuisine, hot chicken. Don’t think of it as a tour, but more of an introduction to the city. Beware, you may just have to extend your stay to enjoy all the recommendations!
