I toured the Ryman before and it was very nice but this time they said the backstage tour wasn't available and they only had a self guided tour. they did let us each have a free photo on the stage and you could make another one at the rock hall. there were some singers instruments and clothes to view etc. it was ok but i did feel for 3 adults and $107 that ot should have had more. its still a good attraction.

The opening video was awesome, setting the stage for the full tour. It's a must-see for anyone visiting Nashville who loves history.

The Ryman tour was great, it is a self guided tour so I wasn't sure if we missed anything, I sure hope not. It did say on the sign I saw later that night that we may have been able to tour Johnny Cash tour bus, we never saw such a thing so hopefully it wasn't there and we missed it :( They give a couple pictures and didn't have to pay for those ones so that was very nice.

Outstanding tour, the film at the beginning was very cool. Also loved the exhibits outside of the auditorium. This should not be missed!

Fun and historic and beautiful old theatre. Really nice to see all the photos of the performers who have played here and the outfits they wore during their concerts.

My favorite part of the self-guided tour was just seeing the inside of the Ryman...out first time in there! The second part was the video they play you just before going in. I was not aware of most of it's history. We did the self-guided tour, now I wish I had done the guided. We did get a free photo of us at the WSM microphone. One thing I just learned recently, after our visit, is we could have made some kind of recording? Didn't know about that? Too bad we missed it. Oh well, gives a reason to go back. I'd probably do it again...the guided tour next time. There were so many interesting things and "artifacts" to see. Great part of Nashville, Music City, history.
