I had gone on the "In their footsteps " tour in regards to the enslaved. The educational coordinating director was our tour guide and she did an amazing job in explaining the plantations history with it's people with respect and grace. She was incredibly informative and made the tour enjoyable! The whole area was gorgeous, clean and well kept.

We also had a complimentary wine tasting afterwards. And it came with three tastings. The bartender was welcoming and friendly. It was definitely a wonderful stop for history and light walking.

Tour guides were fun and knowledgeable. Outdoors was beautiful (but I wish it was warmer). Staff was able to squeeze us in for a wine tasting right before they closed. I would love to see (or participate in) further excavations.

Loved our tour of the mansion and of the grounds. Only part that was a negative was the fact that our group was rushed through, but I understand it is to get everyone through in a timely manner. The hosts and guide did a wonderful job and definitely were not boring. Great history lesson!

Great spot to visit as far as history. We brought our dog, but be mindful, most exhibits are off limits if you have a dog with you - didn t know that before we bought the tickets. The property is well maintained and looks great. Only issue one might run into, if you are allergic to bees, they tend to make nests near the cabins on the property. Anytime we went close, we were quickly reminded that this was their territory.

Splurge on the VIP tour. Mike the tour guide is a walking encyclopedia in period costume. You can thank me later.

We enjoyed our day at The Hermitage! The tour is well laid out, the audio guide is cool and our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. The wine tasting is a nice touch and they had live music in the winery that day! Must see for your trip to Nashville!

We did a self-guided tour of the grounds. Interior of home was sold out. There is an app you can download, and there are several areas with numbered signs that correspond to what you are looking at and yiu can play short audio clips about each spot. They can be a little confusing due to different colored numbers that follow different guides. You can walk quite a bit here and enjoy several areas. Well worth the visit. Don't forget to check out the wine tasting room. Nice selection of wines.
