We added a couple of optional activities beyond Fisk University campus and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Booked this as a group trip and it was well paced. Belle Meade Historic Site in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

The Parthenon grounds and Centennial Park alone was worth the trip, but combined with Lane Motor Museum this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
