Enjoyed the self-guided tour. Fun to imagine a packed house with old time favorites singing their hearts out! Definitely a must do.

It was fun to visit the mother church of country music. We enjoyed the Country Classics concert with Larry Gatlin as host. to us a definite must to be included on a trip to Nashville. Our seats were not so good as we were way right of the stage and although we could see well, we wondered if the sound... More

We loved that the restoration was done beautifully. Very informative video and so much history shared. You can't visit Nashville without a visit to Ryman Auditorium. The thing we didn't like was the $10 charge to take a photo on the stage....we paid to get in so didn't feel that was necessary. We got plenty of pictures of everything else.

The sound at the Ryman is just amazing and it feels like a very intimate setting for any concert. It is a must go for anyone who loves music.

I did not see a show, but toured the Ryman durning the day. Spent extra on a back stage tour. If you use your AAA card, there's a dollar off. The backstage tour was excellent. Only 3 of us so it was very personal. The pews are hard so bring a pillow if you are there for a show. It... More
