An exciting professionally guided city tour of Nashville is up first. We will then stop for a little shopping at Opry Mills with time for lunch on your own. After lunch, take a walking tour at the Gaylord Opryland Resort with time to explore on your own. Dinner is included this evening at Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen. Next up is the Grand Ole Opry, Nashville’s must see attraction and the world’s longest running live radio show. (B,D) Day 3: Enjoy breakfast and then off to Studio B. The star treatment is what Nashville does best, and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum brings it all together in this very unique package offering. We begin with a personally guided tour of historic RCA Studio B, Home of 1,000 Hits, where music legends recorded timeless songs. Be a star for a day! We’ll be inspired during our own recording session directed by a sound engineer right where Elvis himself stood to record over 200 songs.
