Belle Meade a Nice Yes to do - A wonderful experience to walk back into time. Into the lives of others. Yes, affluence. But struggles as well. Amazing story. Our guide was terrific.

Andie was a great tour... - Andie was a great tour guide! Very interesting tour full of history. It was incredible how much the curators have been able to preserve. The tour was a perfect length with free time to explore in the different areas of the mansion

Incredible Journey Back In Time - We spent the day at Belle Meade with virtually no prior knowledge of the rich and storied history that surrounds this magnificent property. The mansion tour guide was great as well as the self guided tour of the grounds. We capped off our day with a late lunch at Meat and Three. Highly recommend this tour.

Historical Experience! Delicious Wine! - We had a wonderful time touring the mansion. I wish I knew more ahead of time about the history and the other tour options that weren’t listed on Trip Advisor as I would have picked a different one to learn more about the enslaved individuals as well and their history so that I could book other tours as well! Overall our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and it was only her second tour ever! We definitely learned a lot and I hope to return soon and learn even more. The complimentary wine tasting was also fabulous. Be sure to check out their website for all of their amazing offerings. The property is absolutely beautiful!

See Athena at the Parthenon and ask for Diana at Belle Meade - I was a little apprehensive about doing a tour of an antebellum estate given their complicated history, but this was informative, respectful of all principals, and educational. Our guide was Diana who was gracious and knowledgeable. The tour moved at just the right pace and we were given just enough information to make the house seem less like a museum and more like a home.

Mansion Tour and wine tasting is well worth your time - We really enjoyed the mansion tour. Dallas was an amazing tour guide sharing the history of the families that lived there and the property. Mansion is well taken care of. The add-on wine tasting with no extra charge was very enjoyable.

Nice interesting tour. - Great information about the plantation. They could have done better using an overlay map of the property boundaries by years.
