Discover the Music, History & Local Culture of Nashville

At Nashville Personal Tours and Nashville Insider Tours, you can embark on unforgettable tours led by our private guides. It's a personalized experience focused on one-on-one interaction rather than large groups with a loudspeaker; we encourage dialog and questions.

About Our Founder

Hey ya'll! My name is Steve, and I am excited you're thinking about joining us for a fantastic, fun adventure in the Nashville, Tennessee locale! Originally from Texas, I moved to Nashville in 1992 and started giving private guided tours the very next year. I was drawn here for the music, became a professional songwriter on Music Row in '93, and was able to do some incredible things like sing with Alan Jackson on an album, write with Keith Urban, write for Reba McIntyre and MCA, and meet or spend time with many of the artists of the 90's and early 2000's, from Garth to Chesney, Chestnutt to Diffie, and usually have a story to tell about any of those from that era. I left the business and started a successful pool company, building swimming pools for the likes of Jason Aldean and many others. Sold the company after 25 years and semi-retired to be able to spend more time doing what I REALLY love, showing people the charming and often hidden side of our enchanting city from a local's point of view. I'm a travel buff, having put together tours all over the country and overseas. I like to focus on the inside stuff, little-known nuggets that allow the tourist to feel like an insider after the tour. A music buff, studying and researching the history of country, blues, rock, and alternative. A history buff, I have researched the uproarious beginnings of Nashville along with the Civil War battles that crossed our Middle Tennessee region. I'm also a food buff, literally trying 100s of local restaurants, taking notes on them and their fare to share with others. Most of all, I'm a people buff! I love people in general! My goal is to give my tour groups the amazing immersive experience of Nashville and Middle Tennessee that they would get nowhere else! Come join me for a unique and memorable adventure!!
