    This is a really super cool tour that you can get tickets out of the country music Hall of Fame and Museum. They put you on a bus and take you right over. The tour was very interesting and informative. The place just takes you back. You can feel like how it was back then. It’s just really cool that Elvis and a bunch of other artists have recorded at that studio. if you are in town this and the country music Hall of Fame are a must!

    So much music history was made here. I didn’t know too much about the studio prior to our visit. The tour is great with tons of background and insider stories. They also play recordings of quite a few songs

    The guide was superb. She brought the studio alive. That is the place that established Elvis and Nashville. Elvis recorded 272 songs in that studio. The original equipment are still there. A must see.

    Highly recommend this tour, an add-on at the Country Music Hall of Fame! Was one of the highlights on our 1st visit to Nashville.

    Very cool experience. Booked as part of the Country Music Hall of Fame combo package. The tour takes you by bus to the Studio B where a tour guide walks you through the history of Studio B. Standing in the exact recording room where Elvis Presley and many other recorded their biggest hits was definitely a neat experience. I appreciated how pretty much the entire studio was left in its original state as it had been during its very last recording session. The tour itself lasts about an hour. The only thing I didnt like is that by the time you get into Studio B itself, there is not alot of time left to get pictures, and near the end we were basically being rushed out in order to stay on time. Other than this, I enjoyed it.

    Cool to see if you’re interested in the older Elvis era. I’m very unfamiliar with it so the tour was very informational but also very over my head. I probably wouldn’t go back or wouldn’t recommend to those who are hoping it’s more about modern country music, which was what I was hoping for personally.

    The best thing we saw in Nashville! This intimate exhibit lets visitors sit, stand, and sometimes even make music in the same space where so much iconic music has been made. Also, we were led by one of the best and most knowledgeable guides you will ever find. This one is not to be missed!

    Great tour which takes you to the studio where Elvis and many others enjoyed recording. Many of the hits recorder here are played for you. This helps take you back to the time period in your minds eye and cements the place where the greats stood and created the songs that became the playlist of your life!

    This was a great and very informative tour. I am not much of a country music fan but definitely learned a lot. Also cool to think that RCA B was the studio where Elvis recorded and played the piano that is still used today to record music. The tour guides will play music that was previously recorded in studio B and provide the history of how it was recorded.

    Fantastic tour of RCA Studio B. It was absolutely magical being a huge Elvis fan and seeing this incredible studio exactly the way it’s always been! My tour guide was Ron and he was really great, you can tell that he is actually excited to show RCA studio B to everyone, even though he does it probably multiple times everyday, his excitement still shines through. It was an honor to be in that building as a singer/songwriter myself, and a dream to record there someday. So glad studio B is not only being used for tours, but still an active running studio in the mornings and evenings. The history and the stories Ron told brought tears to my eyes, and as we sat there listening to Elvis songs with the changing colored lights, it really set the tone and the mood, and I pictured Elvis standing on the X in front of me. Highly recommend this tour for Elvis and country music fans!

    Well run as an extension of the Country Music Hall of Fame. After seeing the story of country music it was great to see the rooms in which some of that famous music past and present was record in. Tour guide Rob was a fountain of anecdotes and history. The audio system was top notch and hearing the legendary recordings in the room made the stories come alive and be truly special.

    4/19/2023: Get your tickets early! This tour was great! Our tour guide, Debbie, was a wealth of knowledge. She was fun too! I feel like we got the inside scoop. Played at the same piano Elvis played and got pictures! It was beyond amazing!! It was an experience I will never forget!! We also got to hear a recording Elvis did and Debbie even did the mood lighting like Elvis would do when he recorded. Tip your tour guides. They work hard and they make it worth the experience.

    Just do it, highlight of Nashville along with the Hall of Fame, both outstanding . Our Studio B tour guide Ron was friendly, full of interesting facts and stories, and passionate about its history. Got goosebumps standing on the sweet spot 👍

    Went on this tour from the country music hall of fame. My wife bought a bundle from "southern escape tours on " trip advisor" and saved us about 100 bucks total or more. Country music hall of fame, studio tour, Johnny cash, on off trolley, wax museum, and old smokey tasting. There was also a 10% off on Google. (CNET10) who knows how long this will be good for but try it.. Ron was our tour guide, I wish I would have recorded his entire presentation from the bus. This man knew every member of the country music hall of fame by memory. He loves his job!!..it's one of the best guided tours I've ever been on. Ron was a gem and the tour was very cool.

    We loved this tour. We had an exceptional tour guide— Brenda. She was funny and well-informed and made the tour super fun.

  • 5/5 Erika M. 2 years ago on Google
    Our tour guide was wonderful and made our experience so exciting. The Studio is same, but filled with so much history. Tour leaves from the Country Music Hall of Fame in the downtown area. Another must do in Nashville.

  • 5/5 Anthony V. 1 year ago on Google
    A must see for any music fan. Great tour hearing several recordings from several hits recorded at Studio B and the history of how the differentsoundswere created. Great stories about Elvis recording Crying in the Chapel, his favorite piano, and the board on the cabinet that Elvis broke. Our tour guide was awesome, he was very passionate and informative about the history of music, the artists, and inspiring to hear about Nashville and Studio B. When listening to the recordings, you can close your eyes and feel the energy in the room. The acoustics of the room and shapes of the walls are very interesting to see. One of my favorite experiences in Nashville.

    For any music lover, this is a next level spiritual experience! Especially for those who love Dolly, Elvis, and just learning about what goes on behind the music in general. Our tour was a little rushed because the bus was late so I feel like I would've had a better experience had that not been the case, but some of the things they show you and places you get to see are just amazing. I had goosebumps being here!

    Must visit while visiting the Country music hall of Fame or by itself if you can visit while along Music Row. A throwback into history and another time. 1000.....1000 #1 hits were recorded in this very studio. Elvis. Roy Orbison. Dolly. Carl Perkins. Chet Atkins. The list is extensive and amazing. The studio is still used today. You can visit multiple times and get a different story every time depending on your tour guide. The value is well worth adding onto the Country music hall of fame ticket.

  • 5/5 Vivian L. S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow. What an incredible place with a such a rich history. We had the most amazing tour guide and felt it was definitely worth seeing. I feel terrible I don't remember her name but she was an elderly lady with long, thick white hair and a real zest for like. Her knowledge and enthusiasm really made the tour worth it. We were able to sit at Elvis's favorite piano and listen to some of the famous hits that were recorded in that room. Truly a magnificent experience. If you are an Elvis fan this is a MUST see!
