    A must do tour
    This tour was well worth the ticket price. Vintage recordings, instruments and equipment take you back to a simpler time. Brenda was our tour guide and she clearly has a passion for telling the story of Studio B. A must do tour while in music city.

    Three cheers for tour guide Seth fromFlorida
    A brilliant tour today with Seth, who brought the whole experience to life with his humour and enthusiasm. What a genuinely likeable young lad who is a real credit to your tours. He engaged very well with the whole group and he even sang us a few tunes by request on our bus ride back. The tour was shorter than we expected (this was fully advised online it is only one hour) but very informative, when the lights are switched on / off it really did give a glimpse into life for the recording artists.

    You should not miss this tour
    This was an add on to the Country Music Hall of Fame tour and we are glad we added it. The studio has a great deal of history and countless artists have recorded there. Among the artists was Elvis who recorded many of his greatest hits at Studio B. Our guide Ron was very enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable about the Studio and the music industry in Nashville.

    A Visit to Remember
    The tour was fascinating and Ron was an outstanding guide. The wealth of information provided was wonderful. Being able to visit the actual studio and hear music was very special. The only complaint is that it felt rushed. Ron sped through information given the time constraints. The tour should be at least 15 minutes longer.

    Elvis and Studio B
    Just overwhelmed with Studio B Tour Our tour guide Ron had a depth of knowledge 2nd to none The insight he gave us on the artist who recorded there was incredible. The Dolly Parton tale was fun He. Took us into the recording studio and talked at length about the design of the room, the piano and Elvis playing snippets of songs recorded by Elvis It showed what a great interpreter of songs Elvis was I liked the things he pointed out like the sweet spot and the piano and the Jerry Reed story. Full marks to Ron Thankyouverymuch

    Great way to spend a cold rainy day in Nashville.
    My husband and I took this tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ron was our tour guide. He shared a lot of information about the studio and Elvis that we didn’t know. We especially liked the story about Dolly and Elvis.

    Wonderful step back in time
    What a brilliant tour this was. From the moment we entered we were transported back in time. Our guide was excellent - sorry didn’t take her name but she wasn’t around at the time she was talking about. I’d thoroughly recommend this to future travellers.

    Country Music Tour
    I was in studio B as part of a country music tour from Ireland. For me this was one of the best parts of the tour. Our tour guide Ron was absolutely brilliant he brought it all to life. He brought Elvis to life in that room and I got a lump in my throat listening to Lonesome Tonight in the dark as Elvis recorded it exactly like that. Ron was very knowledgeable and it was an amazing experience.

    Loved Ron at Studio B, Nashville, Tn.
    Ron was our Tour Guide and what a Guide he was. So very knowledgeable, such a passionate man about Studio B, loved his stories especially about Elvis! I am a true Elvis fan and was totally shocked by the Elvis presence in Nashville. Ron I am sure made a few new Elvis fans with his detailed description of Elvis and his recordings. Thoroughly enjoyed Ron as our Tour Guide

    …an up close and personal feel for the historical RCA Studio B recording studio.
    I must concur with all the RON-the-tour-guide comments. He really captivated our group with his vast knowledge and intimate knowledge about past and present recording artists. I only wished it had lasted another 30 minutes!

My wife and I took the tour of Studio B when spending time at the Country Music Museum. It was definitely worth the visit. There was so much history packed in that little studio that it is amazing. Our tour guide did an excellent job of giving a great description of what happened there over the years that it was truly fascinating.

Our guide around the studio was called Ron, and he was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable that he made the whole tour a pleasure. Nice that the original studio has survived all these years and that the original pianos, and microphones are there for photo opportunities. The finale in the studio itself when Ron turned the lights down and played Elvis in the dark was almost emotional

Our guide, Don H, was excellent. He made the years of Studio B come alive for us - especially with anecdotes about Elvis. He created the mood for many of the recordings that we will remember each time we hear those songs.n. A MUST tour!

This tour is remarkable. Our guide was so knowledgeable and was clearly passionate about country music. She explained in detail the history of the studio and lowered the lights just as Elvis requested during a recording. You could just imagine being there She played the recordings over the same sound systems. We all really enjoyed even the teens.

This was an awesome tour of Studio B. I started off not really wanting to go on this tour (it was in the combo package) I ended up enjoying it more than the Country Music Hall of Fame. Ron Harmon is probably the best tour guide in Nashville! He painted a picture of the studio that really brought it to live. You could feel Elvis in the room when he was done telling his stories! Never thought of myself as an Elvis fan until taking this tour. If you can request a tour guide when you take this tour, ask for Ron!

A must see in Nashville. A tour of one of the most iconic recording studios. A place where Elvis recorded extensively. His piano is in the room and is still in use for recording. And to make it extra special my friend was allowed to play the tour crowd a tune. Special moment- do this.

We had a wonderful time on the RCA Studio B tour, but the guide was absolutely incredible. Ron kept the information flowing from the minute the bus started up. He is a wealth of knowledge about the music that shaped the history of this studio. He kept it engaging and light while remaining professional and friendly. He joked that if you aren't an Elvis fan going into the tour, he would do his best to convert you. He really has a clear passion for Elvis, and it is infectious. My 15 year old admitted at the end of the tour that she did, in fact, become a fan of the artist because of the love and respect Ron showed for him during the tour. We feel so lucky that we were able to tour this iconic place with a guide that provided information, reverance, and love for the studio that helped create an indelible mark on the music industry. Thanks, Ron!

...where Elvis already stood. Visit the must-see attraction in Nash. It's an original historic site not to be missed. BTW, keep the StudioB ticket as it will give free admission to the Frist Art Museum!

Myself (Paul) and my wife Loretta spent two weeks in Nashville on our honeymoon. We packed lots into our stay there but the RCA studio B tour was the highlight of our trip. The tour guide Ron was exceptional doing his job right from the start whilst we waited to board the bus to take us from the Country Music Hall of fame to Music Row. We learnt so much about the history of the studio and it was articulated with so much enthusiasm from Ron, you could tell that he loves doing his job. Studio B is a very special place within the music industry and Ron gave us so much knowledge to take away with us. His story of how Elvis Presley recorded ‘Are you Lonesome tonight’ was gripping and emotional. We would highly recommend this tour and whilst there are probably other good tour guides……..it would be hard to be taken through this experience by anyone better than Ron.
