When we returned to our car, it was locked…”

“We only had two days in Nashville and wanted to see as much as possible, we caught a cold on our vacation and were just feeling a little better. Since we were just getting over our cold we didn’t think we would be in a drinking mood so only bought a 4 pack of drinks…well that was a mistake! We finished those up before our halfway stop. We were on the public tour, didn’t know what to expect, we were with two bachelorette parties and a couple celebrating the wife’s 60th birthday. Well let me tell you as soon as we pulled out of the parking lot, got the safety…”

“Good experience in booking. However, we saw reserved seating when entering the dining area but did not see the option to choose reserved seating when booking. The gentleman outside yelling out for everyone to have their tickets ready to be scanned, yet, the person scanning tickets didn't appear to be prepared.
