This is a great historical site -- also take back stage tour more

While in Nashville we just decided to check out the Ryman, and take the tour. What a great decision. The place is heart-stopping. You walk in and can't believe all the legends that have played on that stage. There is a 10 minute video that is very good. Then the self-guided tour takes you through the first and second floors,... more

We had bought the package from the Country Music Hall of Fame then found out we had to pay more if we wanted to go backstage. We didn't as we felt it should've all been included. Our daughter (who likes country music) was bored and felt that more could've been done to include the artists of today as a lot... more

Nice place to visit, you only need a few minutes, though. I suggest that you visit this outside of a tour package where you can do a backstage tour and record a song (for $20). On the regular tour you can have your picture taken on stage with the guitar for $5. Definitely worth it! more

This was our first stop in Nashville. It is very historic. We got the tour and paid for the extra backstage tour with the stars dressing rooms. It was all very interesting and a very beautiful place. They let you go up on stage and take pictures with your own camera or they will take their own for $5 for... more

I have seen 20+ shows at the Ryman including The Grand 'Ol Opry Christmas Special, The Black Crowes, Gov't Mule, Robert Plant, Trey Anastasio, Blues Traveller, and more. The Ryman was built in the late 1800's before amplified public address systems were invented so a lot of thought and planning was placed on room acoustics. For that reason shows at... more

I was able to see the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman many years ago when stars such as Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Hank Snow, Bill Monroe and Little Jimmy Dickens performed and it is something I treasure. Today the Opry has lost some of its down home feeling. As far a a tourist attraction, the Ryman is a must... more

A great feeling of the history of past performers, but not too impressed with the present acts on sat. oct 9th 2004. As a brit maybe I,m not too well up on present singers. Well worth a visit though. more

On December 1, 2003, some friends and I had tickets to see the Etta James performance at the Ryman. The concert was advertised to start at 7:30pm Central Time. Upon arriving at the Ryman at 7:10pm, we spoke with an usher who informed us that a "warm-up" band would perform, but Etta James would not take the stage until 9:00pm... more
