Blue grass tour

My husband and I recently went on the bluegrass tour from Louisville to Nashville (May 2024) and it exceeded our expectations. This was my 6th Tauck Tour and we were lucky to have Stacie as our guide. At every turn there was special entertaining talks or music. The talk from a longtime jockey at Churchill Downs, bourbon tasting and tour at Maker’s Mark, interesting tours at the horse farms, music by a bluegrass band before and after dinner in Lexington, a very interesting talk by Laura Boosinger who entertained us at the Blueridge Parkway visitor’s center. In Nashville where Kent Blazy who is an American country music songwriter played and talked to us. His credits include several singles for Garth Brooks. It was awesome hearing all his stories and listening to him play and sing. As well as going to the Grand Ole Opry. The hotels were all great as well. And you do not need a jacket at for dinner at the Biltmore hotel. The dress on the whole tour was casual. We thought the food was really good and when it wasn’t included, Stacie gave us a list of restaurants close to the hotel.

  • I have lived in Nashville, now Franklin since 2003. Glad you had a great tour. If any future guests want advice or info on restaurants, museums and restaurants in the area I would be happy to make suggestions for any free time you have

  • Thank you for posting your review. Lexington, the Bourbon tour areas and the horse country are so beautiful and interesting. You might enjoy reading Geraldine Brooks “Horse” now that you have been there. And as one who never loved country music until I learned that it is American poetry I’m sure the music was good, too. More reviews of domestic tours are appreciated.
