Ed Recommends!
Here’s Ed’s list of places to eat, drink and generally be a tourist when you come to Nashville!
Most items shown are in the downtown area and wouldn’t require the use of a vehicle.
There are MANY great places to eat downtown in Nashville.  This list is solely comprised of locales that I frequent.  This is a non-compensated list.  I feel you’ll have a great experience if you pick any one of the following eateries.  And there are probably 25 more that I haven’t listed that will do you proud as well!

“I’ve been doing Nashville and Smoky Mountain tours for a dozen years or more.  Literally thousands and thousands of people.  The limited numbers of reviews are because this review system was only recently added in late 2024.  If you are one of my former clients and would like to leave a ‘belated review’, contact me at ed@nashvilletourguide.com and I’ll send you the link!” – Ed Owen, 01/2025

We do 20+ groups a year. Our trip around Nashville was one of the most enjoyable we’ve had. Nice to have a knowledgeable, personable guide who enjoys what he’s doing.

Learned a long time ago that local guides make things a LOT better when you travel. This was another in a long line of those. Well done, Ed! See you next time.
