We stopped at the Market (#12) and found a loaded potato at the Market city BBQ—best brisket and potato! Then we had some Jennie’s ice cream for dessert- so many delicious flavors and they let you sample what you like. There’s so much to do and they offer discounts for some of the. venues. They also let you know where the free spots are.

Amber is absolutely hysterical! She was the true highlight. Amber provided in-depth information on the history of Nashville, the culture and add her own personal touch. 10/10 would recommend this excursion to anyone and everyone. Thinking of booking the tour again just to have more laughs.
