Gray Line Tennessee is committed to responsible tourism and traveler safety.
Native to Nashville, Gray Line Tennessee has been the local transportation and sightseeing expert in our city for more than four decades. Our company started with local sightseeing all around Nashville – the Home of Country Music. Over the years, we have stayed in tune with our local roots and traditions, even as the size of our hometown and our business has grown. Nashville is known by many names: “Athens of the South”, “The Music City”, and the “IT City”. While our company name has changed, we are still known for one thing – genuine hospitality.
It all began in 1973, when brothers Chris and Dennis Levering each started a local sightseeing business that served the hotels and motels of the city. After a few years, the brothers combined forces and named the new company Country and Western Tours, which was one of the first major sightseeing companies around. Growth was rapid and steady, and in 1988, the company became a Gray Line licensee – Gray Line of Nashville was born.
Over the next 30 years, helped by the meteoric rise in the popularity of Country Music and the strength of Gray Line’s global leadership in sightseeing, the company started by two brothers giving tours in station wagons is now the premier transportation, hospitality services and sightseeing company in the region, with over 200 vehicles in the fleet and nearly 400 employees dedicated to providing safe. authentic and professional service. We currently operate five distinct businesses, all of which are oriented toward safety, quality and customer service.
