Relax in a deluxe bus driving around Nashville with a professional entertaining guide.  You will see the historic lower district, go pass iconic buildings such as the Tennessee State Capitol, Country Music Hall of Fame, Vanderbilt University, the Parthenon, and so much more.  Then enjoy the famous Paula Deen's Family Kitchen and all the good ole country cooking you can handle.  They have their famous gift shop there too!  The view is beautiful right next to the Cumberland River.  We received a price break at the restaurant ($30 including tax and gratuity) that is included in the total fee for this outing.

The world's grandest showboat cruises the Cumberland River around downtown Nashville.  Enjoy the wonderful music, humor, and food. According to the General Jackson:

"One of the largest showboats ever built, the grand General Jackson is an elegant triumph of American ingenuity.  The General Jackson provides accessibility for our guests with disabilities.  Our brand-new show is outfitted with extreme humor, amazing music, and the best food you'll taste this side of the South.  Get ready for some true hand-clappin', toe-tappin' Nashville entertainment and hospitality.  The world-class cast includes two rising country artists, a country comedian and features fiddle and guitar soloists, all supported by a live country band.  The show's repertoire spans classic hits by Patsy Cline, George Jones and Tammy Wynette through today's chart-topping hits by Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts."
