AboutJan Duke Expertise Whether you are visiting Nashville for a day or a lifetime,I can humbly show and guide you through every aspect of what this great city has to offer.
Experience I've written over 1000 articles about Nashville and/or Tennessee, have one published book on the topic, and have had numerous articles and photographs published locally and throughout the world.
Currently I operate and or run several websites and blogs including Nashville.About.com (for the NYT) as well several other local websites.
I'm a longtime resident of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, having Tennessee Lineages that date back to the 18th century.
Question My wife is keen to visit plantation and other mansions in Nashville as well as civil war sites. As visitors from Australia we wondered whether there were any organized tours of such sites, or are they easily visited by public transport?
Answer Yes there are plenty of tour companies in the area to choose from but honestly driving yourself would be the better choice if possible. Public Transportation such as the local bus service MTA or by taxi would not be a good choice because of the time constraints and service of MTA nor by taxi due to the high cost. I'd opt to take a tour bus if a car isn't available.
