Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, 4580 Rachels Ln, Nashville, TN 37076-1331
Your 6.5-hour Tennessee history tour begins with a comfortable charter bus ride to the stately manor of Andrew Jackson, The Hermitage. Home of the seventh U.S. president, historians consider President Jackson’s Hermitage the best preserved early presidential home. Explore its quarters just as President Jackson and his staff did back in 1836.
Stroll the lovely formal gardens, then visit the slave quarters, the estate’s original 1804 cabin and the sight where this president and his wife were laid to rest. Afterward, lunch is on your own accord at the on-site historic Hermitage Smorgasbord, offering a traditional Southern Buffet, including dessert.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Belle Meade Plantation, 5025 Harding Pike, Nashville, TN 37205-2810
Known as the Queen of the Tennessee Plantations, the Belle Meade Plantation was the centerpiece of a 5,200-acre estate, world-renowned as a thoroughbred stud farm and nursery in the 19th century. It’s a prime example of Southern Greek Revival Antebellum architecture. The present 30-acre site features 10 outbuildings which include an 1832 slave cabin and a colossal carriage house and stables.
The day comes to a leisurely close with a wine tasting session at the Winery at Belle Meade Plantation in the afternoon. Sip the estate’s wines, such as chardonnay and cabernet, while enjoying views of the vineyards, then board the bus to return to Nashville.

Overstated. The support osturing for the man fails to hide the horror of his behaviour vis a vis Slavery and Indigenous Americans. This tarnishes the tour. The driver out standing
The re-enactment of the “Duel” and “Horse race” didn't meet my expectations. Everything else about the tour was a plus.
We had a great time on this tour. Very educational. Lunch was very good. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. The length of time at the Hermitage was a little too long.
Fascinating to see how the rich lived in those days. The tour was worth taking. I being a student of History enjoyed every minute. Prakash Rao Visitor from India
Nice tour to beautiful places. Comfortable ride and enough time to explore the various plantations on your own. Lunch was terrible though and not included everyone was dropped off at the same place for lunch and told to go eat and make sure to pay for yourself.
Wonderful
Tour was excellent, but buffet lunch was not as good as we expected it to be. Average buffet food.
