Tour of Nashville Stars' Homes

 

And while many musicians call the stage home, where they actually rest their heads is a different story. When you're looking for a tourist guide of Nashville that will get you a truly up-close and personal look at the city's history and culture, opt for a home tour of the area’s biggest stars, past and present.

Homes of the Stars

You can book ahead to arrange a pickup from most hotels in Nashville for the Gray Line Tennessee 3.5-hour Homes of the Stars Tour, which includes the places where Dolly Parton, Toby Keith, Kid Rock, Ronnie Milsap, Hillary Scott and Martina McBride hold the keys. You’ll see the homes of solo artists American Idol alum Kellie Pickler, Ronnie Dunn, Dierks Bentley, Janis Ian, Jack White, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, plus brothers Caleb and Jared Followill of Kings of Leon, Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum, Julianne Hough of Dancing with the Stars and Lorianne Crook of Crook & Chase.

A Day to Dig Into Nashville

Country music king Alan Jackson has an estate just past the city borders, which you can see on an extended 8-hour Gray Line tour that combines Home of the Stars with Discover Nashville. Book this tour during the week or on the weekend and you’ll see the homes of the city’s rich and famous in addition to all the top sights. Highlights include the Country Music Hall of Fame and Ryman Auditorium, where some of Nashville’s super stars of the past come to life, including Jimmy Rodgers, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Elvis Presley. Discover your own country voice at historic RCA Studio B, where 35,000 songs were recorded, including nearly all of Elvis’ hits.

Family-friendly Nashville

Opting for a quiet family life raising children away from the flash of Hollywood and the pace of New York City, Nashville attracts parents who are used to seeing their names up in lights. Power couples like Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams Paisley, Alan and Denise Jackson, Amy Grant and Vince Hill and other celebs like Wynonna Judd, Martina McBride and Sara Evans all have homes in and around Nashville. You may even have a celebrity sighting while you're in town!
