Nashville trolley tour

Mac and I are fans of trolley tours. They’re a good way to see the main sites and to help you figure out where you want to explore more. Old Town Trolley runs both the Nashville trolley tour and the tours we’ve taken in Savannah. It was also nice to check out the big spots in Nashville from the reasonable comfort of the open-air trolley on a 90+ degree day. Funny enough, the route was very similar to the half-marathon I ran back in 2014.

Address and location

We hopped on our Nashville trolley tour at 201 Broadway. This stop and ticket stand sits near the end of Broadway close to the Cumberland River. The trolley has 15 stops around the city.

Cost

One-day trolley passes cost $40. These are good all day, and you can ride as much as you want. If you’re going to be in Nashville for multiple days, the two-day pass costs $50. This may be a cheaper way to get around town to the big sites than a cab or Uber. I think they offer military discounts if you purchase your tickets in-person.

What to do

I’m the ultimate over-planner, so I tend to check out the stops and sites before we jump on these tours. If you’ve never been on a trolley tour before, definitely grab a map. You can either ride the trolley for the whole route before getting off to explore, or you can hop on and off. I like to ride the full route of the trolley at least once. From there, I map out where I want to get off and what other sites I want to see.
