8.Nashville Fun Pass: Johnny Cash Museum, City Trolley, RCA Studio

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 93 reviews · 1 to 2 days (approx.) · from $183

Spend one or two days exploring Nashville with entry to the Country Music Hall of Fame, Johnny Cash Museum, Madame Tussauds, a moonshine tasting, a one-day narrated trolley pass, and your choice of RCA Studio B or Hatch Show Print. You can visit at your own pace, but plan your own transport and check voucher requirements before setting out.

“Nashville Fun Pass. Excellent overall experience. We started with trolly tour as this gives you a good overall of the city with guides that give you knowledge or hotspots to look out for that you’d not regularly go to (Marathon Motors place was a big highlight). Can hop off and explore as needed as buses are only 10-15 minutes apart. The Madame Tussaud’s museum is not located near broadway so we lined up tickets (separately) to the grand ole opry to make it worthwhile to go to this stop. When staying near broadway all other stops are easily walked to the Johnny Cash museum, country music hall of fame/studio b…”

14.Music Pass: Entry to 6 Museums, Trolley Tour, Ole Smoky Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 5 reviews · 1 to 2 days (approx.) · from $242

This Nashville pass bundles entry to six music attractions, a one-day Old Town Trolley pass and an Ole Smoky sample tasting for visitors 21 and older. You can choose RCA Studio B or Hatch Show Print. Plan your stops across more than one day, and confirm trolley inclusion before booking because the pass details are inconsistent.

“One giant misrepresentation. This tour is nearly impossible to complete in one day, especially a weekend. In the description, it says you can hop on and off the trolley, which leads you to believe that it might be included. Nope! So, lets add another $70 per person. Not to mention one museum is nowhere near the others. Was a total waste of money and a ridiculous hassle to deal with. Incredibly disappointed.”
