Need to see a show here - Having never been to the Ryman we got tickets to see Rodney Atkins. Good show in this historic venue. We did not do a tour but just the posters of all the artists that have performed there is cool. I would recommend sitting in the balcony. We got tickets on the main floor but we weren’t in the front rows. You are under the balcony and there are posts that obstruct your view. Glad we went. I can now say I saw a show at the Ryman.

The Ryman Auditorium is a MUST-See! - I was thrilled as I walked through the hallowed halls of the Ryman auditorium. The sacred former church still holds the spirit of the original purpose: to bring people the love of God. As a pastor, I felt the present of its original purpose. My goal is to RETURN ASAP for a concert … to experience in person, the incredible acoustics that it is known for. My only regret was that I took a self-guided tour and not a guided tour. That’s on me. Oh, please! Visit Nashville’s strong and spectacular site!

A Music Mecca - Informative and entertaining. Friendly staff and an amazing experience. To be in the original venue of the Grand Ole Opry and learn about its history past and present icons, and legends is something that gives me an appreciation for music of all genres.

Short but pricey - The tour was very short and consisted only of a 10 minute movie and a chance to stand on the stage after wandering through memorabilia. A bit overpriced for what you get to see.

Good tour but the cashiers were so rude and unfriendly. Inside everyone was great and the tour was great. - Tour has a great movie describing the history. When we walked up a lady behind the glass told us to see a guy two seats away from her. They were both very curt and we couldn’t ask a question. He rolled his eyes.
