Hello. I'm Jenny C. (in the voice of Johnny Cash lol). Please check out the 12 private tours and road trips I offer on this site, or I can customize exactly what you're looking for! So you're coming to Tennessee? Well, welcome!! There's no shortage of fun here, it's the land of music, whiskey, scenery, history, you name it! I can help you with the most incredible tour or trip ever, diving into music history, songwriting and recording, celebrity mansions, distillery tours, factory tours, wine and waterfalls, Civil War history, ancient mounds, The Americana Music Triangle, whatever you're here for! I offer everything from half-day Nashville city tours to week-long road trips covering ground from the Great Smoky Mountains to Nashville to Memphis to Natchez to New Orleans, and everything in between. We can stay or base in Nashville, or start in one city and end in another. If you can dream it, we can do it! I'm a big fan of the Southeast region. Since 2014 I've professionally guided hundreds of memorable tours, created custom curated experiences, and led epic road trips for thousands of guests from all over the world. Whether you have a group of 1 or 100, I can organize any transportation needs. I offer personalized planning, expert guiding, professional driving, step-on guide services, and site coordinating for solos, families, and friends, or student, corporate, and convention groups. I've even written and performed custom surprise songs for folks! It's everything rolled into one, so your job is to relax and have an amazing adventure. :-) Nashville is my chosen home, and I love it here! Originally from Oklahoma, the creative energy of Nashville attracted me like a magnet in 2008. For many years I taught public school. I also spent years touring and performing music all over Europe and the US as a Nashville singer-songwriter... what a ride! My curious personality keeps me traveling all over. I love solo exploring and taking all kinds of tours, plus detours! When I'm not on the road or in a plane, I enjoy spending time with my sweet family, including my 4 adult kids and 2 grandkids. I also love a good hike in a gorgeous setting, or a refreshing kayak paddle on a river or lake. Come see me in Tennessee and let's roll!
