Nashville, Tennessee is known as Music City USA, Athens of the South, City of Parks, and the Third Coast. These nicknames show the diversity that Nashville has to offer its guests. A delightful blend of the Old and New South, Nashville offers a down-home charm and a country melody that is sure to capture your heart. Today our southern journey takes us through the Virginia countryside and the spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains on our way to our first overnight in Abingdon, Virginia.

This morning we will board the coach for a sightseeing tour of Nashville. We will drive by homes of the stars, through the historic downtown, the prestigious Parthenon, and Music Row. We will also tour the legendary Ryman Auditorium where we’ll almost feel the presence of Hank, Patsy and Roy! For more than three decades the Ryman took center stage as the home of the Grand Ole Opry and Nashville’s premier musical hall. Now, the Ryman has been restored to its former glory with major renovations and the creation of detailed museum displays. Our coach will then provide transportation to an optional point of interest (admission cost, if any, is not included in the price of the tour). This evening after dinner at the Resort, we will be part of the thousands of fans from across the nation and around the world that have made the pilgrimage to the world-renowned Grand Ole Opry. The new Opry House seats 4,400 making it the largest broadcast studio in the world. Stars like Jim Ed Brown and The Four Guys as well as the hottest names in popular country music from Garth Brooks to Reba McEntire have grace the stage. There is not another show like it anywhere! D
