This tour is a must-see when in Nashville, TN if you love country music, the performers, and everything about what happens during performer's shows, etc..you don't have to be an avid fan of country music to even enjoy this tour.
You will experience to "walk the walk" of the great performers & musicians of all time.
Seeing all behind the scenes of the Opry is informative. You'll get to actually see the artist's grand entrance once performers enter the building; - the various dressing rooms, the stage, variety of memorabilias, and even where performers or celebrities would pick up their fan mails!
One highlight of the tour is when you go up onstage and have your photo taken while standing on the famous historic circle!...now, that is what you call a once-in-a-lifetime experience! This is the part of the stage where performers would perform.
This iconic circle that sits at the center stage of the Grand Ole Opry looks like an ordinary piece of wood, but has a sentimental value to those who love country music. It was an 8-ft.square wood that was cut from the stage of Ryman auditorium stage, then carved into a 6-feet circle where it was ultimately moved in place at the Grand ole Opry.
