These aren't your typical tour buses. They're rolling dance floors with music, drinks, and non-stop energy as you cruise past Broadway and Music Row.
There are quite a few options in town, and each one offers something a little different. Let me walk you through the best ones.
Honky Tonk Party Express
This is probably the most well-known party bus in Nashville. You've likely seen it featured in local news or all over social media.
It's a custom-built, open-air bus with a roof, LED lights everywhere, and a massive sound system you can connect to. There's even a dance floor on board.
The tour lasts about 2 hours and takes you around Broadway, Music Row, and The Gulch. You'll have a VIP bartender and DJ with you the whole time, and yes — it's BYOB. They provide coolers, ice, and cups.
The Nashville Tractor
It's exactly what it sounds like — a large, open-air party wagon pulled by an actual tractor. You can fit 20-35 people on it, making it perfect for bigger groups.
The ride lasts two hours and goes through downtown Nashville. It's BYOB, and you'll have a designated driver and host keeping everything fun.
You'll definitely turn heads riding through the city on this thing. It's not every day you see a tractor pulling a party through downtown.

It's BYOB, so you can bring whatever drinks you want. People love how organized everything is and how the staff keeps the energy high all night.
