Women's HERstory Tour of Nashville

On the Women's HERstory Tour of Nashville, you spend four lively hours tracing women's footprints across Music City, beginning at Ted Rhodes Golf Course at 1901 Ed Temple Blvd in Nashville, Tennessee. This guided, up-close driving-and-walking tour moves through downtown streets, historic neighborhoods, and cultural corridors to spotlight the women who shaped the city's music, politics, civil rights, medicine, sports, and business scenes. Guides—often joined by guest co-hosts—blend storytelling, music, and local insight in an experience the company calls 'Get SOUL Certified.' Stops and pass-bys include historic suffrage landmarks, the Tennessee State Capitol, Charlotte Avenue, the Wilma Rudolph Olympian statue, civil rights sites, iconic music studios, college campuses, Scarritt Bennett, monuments honoring women leaders, and several women-owned businesses.

The itinerary is designed so the history feels immediate: you hear the songs, see the plaques, and learn the connections between street corners and national movements. What sets this tour apart is its focus on women's impact across sectors rather than a single theme. You might sing along while learning how a studio producer changed Nashville's sound, then roll past a courthouse tied to legal milestones, and finish with neighborhood shops that are supporting today's entrepreneurs.

Small group sizes (maximum 25) and an energetic, performative approach make the tour social and informative; expect laughter, a bit of dancing in your seat, and plenty of photo stops. Practical detail matters: tours run about 3.5–4 hours, and the meeting point is Ted Rhodes Golf Course (1901 Ed Temple Blvd). Tickets are listed at $65 per person.

For a full refund cancel at least 72 hours before departure; group/charter bookings have different policies. Masks are optional; feel free to wear one if you prefer. This is an ideal outing for history buffs, music fans, students, and travelers who want context with their sightseeing.

The route is urban - bring comfortable shoes, a charged phone for photos, and an appetite to support Black- and women-owned businesses that the tour intentionally highlights. For visitors wanting a focused cultural primer on Nashville that centers women's stories, this tour is a lively, efficient way to reframe what you think you know about Music City. Though rooted in urban streets rather than wilderness, the HERstory experience functions like a field trip: expect measured walking at exhibition stops, short vehicle transfers between neighborhoods, and guides who seed local recommendations—places to eat, record stores, and galleries that honor women artists.

The tour amplifies Black- and women-owned businesses in its civic mission; patrons are encouraged to linger and support storefronts they pass. Families, school groups, and solo travelers find something here because the narrative connects names and places to audible cues - songs, radio clips, and archival anecdotes that make history feel present.
