I think that everyone should go and experience the Ryman. We took the self guided tour, so you can take as long as you want. The history in this place is amazing. You feel like you are stepping back in time when you walk into the auditorium because of the old church pews. It was really amazing. You are also... more

The backstage tour at the Ryman Auditorium was a fascinating over view of how the Grand Ole Opry originated and included vists to a number of dressing rooms where our guide told us some great stories of the performers. It was a real highlight of our vist to Nashville. Bob more

I'm not really a country music fan and my wife likes the modern style country but when we were in Nashville this (our second) time the Ryman was at the top of our "to do" list. Both of us enjoyed the time we spent just walking through this historic building and taking pictures. The Ryman is a Nashville attraction well... more

The Ryman was more than I expected. The building was beautiful and the musicians gave everything to their performances. I think I would like to sit in the balcony next time though because part of the main floor ceiling was kind of low. The low ceiling added to the intimate atmosphere and did not affect our views- just would like... more

I was not expecting much. Having only been a fan of country music for a few years. But what a surprise. I enjoyed this very much. I guess being exposed to my parents love of county music as a child stuck and I was very interested in all we saw. Great visit. Well worth the money more

I took the tour of the dressing rooms and our guide was Art. I was VERY impressed with the knowledge that he was able to impart on us. HE really made the trip and got everyone involved in the tour by asking questions about different artists and even singing some of the songs. If you are going to visit the... more

We loved seeing this historic building and learning the history of the Ryman Auditorium. They still have concerts here, and the walls just seem to resonate with song. We just came during the day for the daytime tour, which includes a short video, and a walk around the auditorium, stage, balcony, etc., for about $8. You can pay a bit... more

Recently we took visitors to a show at the Ryman; they enjoyed the experience immensely. Arriving at 5:30 to pick up tickets for the 7:30 show, we were not allowed to use the restrooms until 6:30! Advised by staff to seek restrooms in adjacent area cafes/bars, we tried to do so but noted signs saying "no public restrooms." Think about... more

The Ryman was one of the highlights on my trip to Nashville. The minute you walk into the Auditoreum, you are struck with how much history has been made there. Basically every Country star prior to the mid-70's has played there. And many more contemporary ones as well for special performances. I took the tour and was glad, however, the... more

We toured the Ryman as part of a walking tour of Nashville, and I am so glad that we did! The history of the Ryman is extremely interesting and the building is just beautiful with its stained glass windows and architectural details. Inside we were able to see memoriabilia such as Minnie Pearl's dress and hat - complete with price... more
