      So glad you had a wonderful time with us on our resent Nashville Country Christmas tour. We are currently working on many tours for 2023 and should have many of those ready to present to the public by the end of February. Hope to see you on another tour in 2023. As always, please let us know if we can ever help answer any questions about any of our tours. Thanks, Donny Roach ... American Tours.

      I had a wonderful time. My first trip by myself and was more than I ever expected. The driver and tour guide were the best. Saw more than was listed on the tour. My first trip but certainly not my last. I would recommend them to anyone that is thinking about heading out on their own.

      The bus, overnight facilities, driver & leader, seat locations in the shows, and the events planned were very good. The trip went as planned and supervised very well. We had to wait hours to check in to the Gaylord Resort and I was extremely disappointed in the Grand Ole Opry performers & show. This was my first bus tour and I discovered I do not like the structure of bus tours. Glad I went and felt I got my money's worth, but will not go again. If bus tours are your thing, I would highly recommend American Tours!

      James - Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. We appreciate your kind words towards the various aspects of our tour. We totally understand your frustration with the "check-in wait-time" at the Gaylord Resort. There has always been some amount of wait; however, the wait seems to be longer now after the Covid Shutdown in 2020. Even though motor-coach tours are not something you feel suits you, please let us know if we can ever answer any other questions regarding any of our tours. Thank you again for your positive words regarding the things within our control. We pray you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Donny - American Tours

      This was a great trip! Well organized with fun things to do and good food. Entertainment was wonderful, including Oak Ridge Boys Dinner Show, The Grand Ole Opry, Nashville Nightlife Dinner Show and the General Jackson Showboat. The Gaylord Opryland Resort with atrium view rooms was a little special. We had a wonderful driver and tour director. I recommend Go American Tours!
      By Donna T for NASHVILLE COUNTRY CHRISTMAS #1 on 06 Dec, 2022
      Donna ... THANK YOU so much for those kind words. Lee Ann has already told me what a wonderful group she had on this past Nashville Country Christmas Tour. Based on your review, it appears you liked the ENTIRE TOUR PACKAGE. We are already working on our 2023 Nashville Country Christmas Show and hope to have it ready to promote by the end of this next January. Hope you have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR as well. We look forward to hopefully seeing you again on another tour in 2023. Donny Roach, American Tours.

      We had a wonderful time. People were great. We had a lot of laughs. Pam was courteous and so informative. Terry made sure we had a safe trip. He helped us on and off the bus and so did Pam. This is my third trip and I am planning on taking more in the very near future.

      The Ark Encounter should not be missed! It’s such an experience that gives you so much to think about. American Tours were perfect professionals. Besides that they know how to have fun!
