Tours across Tennessee, United States
Music walks from $40, brewery tours, private day trips, and party boats—what each one really gives you.
Tennessee’s 791 tours cover everything from walking music tours and brewery visits to private drivers and party boats. Walking and historical tours make up over half the catalogue, with 25% and 26% of products respectively. Nearly half of all experiences are labeled private or luxury, but that includes both affordable walking tours and high-end vehicles.
Most travelers pay between $25 and $60, with 48% of tours under $60 and 65% under $100. The best-reviewed options consistently include knowledgeable local guides, clear inclusions, and time at the main attractions. Only 8% of tours are rated below 4 stars, and almost all offer free cancellation.
Tennessee’s catalogue is broad: 791 tours and activities, with walking, historical, and food tours leading in numbers. Music-themed experiences and brewery visits are especially popular in Nashville and Memphis, while private drivers and party boats are common for groups. Most people pay $25–$60, though private vehicles and boats can reach $1,099 for a group.
Food and brewery tours, walking explorations, and music experiences dominate the best-reviewed options, with 92% of all tours rated 4 stars or better. Only 8% fall below that mark, mostly among airport transfers, some museum tickets, and a handful of nightlife or sightseeing passes.
Free cancellation is the norm, offered by 89% of tours. Instant confirmation is nearly universal, with only a few requiring manual approval. Admission, snacks, and hotel pickup are sometimes included, but always check: what’s included varies widely, even at similar prices.

For travelers wanting to explore on foot, walking tours offer the best value: they make up a quarter of all options, usually run $40–$63, and consistently receive excellent reviews when led by guides with deep local knowledge and access to key sites. Music-themed walks in Nashville and Memphis are especially praised for insider stories and well-paced itineraries, often including museum or venue admission.
Food and brewery tours, typically $55–$75, are a good fit for those looking to combine sightseeing with tastings and local stories. The best-rated brewery tours include transportation, snacks, and time at multiple stops, while food tours often feature generous samples and knowledgeable hosts.
Private driver and vehicle tours suit groups or those wanting flexibility, with prices ranging from $200 to over $1,000 per vehicle. These often include hotel pickup, snacks, and custom itineraries, but check if admission fees are covered. Party boats and private cruises, priced $795–$1,099 per boat, are popular for celebrations and include a captain, floats, and sound systems—best value for groups splitting the cost.
What disappoints: Airport transfers and private driver services draw the most complaints, mainly about missed pickups or vehicles not matching what was promised. Some museum tickets and sightseeing passes frustrate travelers when attractions aren’t on the advertised routes or are closed without notice. Nightlife crawls sometimes underwhelm due to poor organization or lackluster venues. Wax museum tickets are often seen as overpriced for what’s included.
Most Tennessee tours confirm bookings instantly—57 out of 60 top options—so last-minute booking is usually possible. However, popular private drivers, party boats, and music experiences can sell out, especially on weekends or for large groups. Booking a week ahead is safest for high-demand tours or if you want a specific guide or time slot.
