The self guided tour is worth the cost. You’ll see a very informative movie to begin with, and, as part of the package, you will get a picture of your group on the steps of the stage.

It was a great insight into the behind the scenes and the evolution of country western music from the Ryman Auditorium to the current Grand Ole Opry site

We loved touring the Ryman! The movie was so informative and innovative. It was special to get to tour the Ryman and see all of the exhibits. We were also able to have our picture made which was included with our tickets.

This was such an awesome place to see. I would advise anyone to see it even if you’re not a country music fan. Such history here!

Although the Ryman is great; they let too many people in at a time and you couldn't really enjoy the experience. On large traffic days, they should limit entry.

Enjoyed walking around at our own pace to explore. The opening video about the history was a unique immersive film. The location right on Broadway makes it an easy stop to combine with other tours or nearby bars.
