Tips & Advice

Bring a small cooler that can fit under your seat is perfect for keeping your drinks cold and your space cozy.
Dress festive and warm! Ugly sweaters, Santa hats, sparkles — go all in! The trolley is heated, but Nashville nights can still get chilly, so layers are your friend and we always recommend adding to the fun festivity!
Cans > Glass. For safety and convenience, we recommend bringing canned drinks rather than glass bottles.
Eat before you ride. We don’t serve food on board, so having a snack or meal before the tour helps keep the holiday spirits high.
Arrive 30 minutes early. This helps us check everyone in, load your coolers, and get rolling right on time. PLUS you'll have time to grab a boozy and/or cozy drink from Donut Distillery.
