Nashville Adventures Featured on NewsChannel 5 for Music City Hitmaker Award

We’re proud to share that Nashville Adventures was recently featured on NewsChannel 5 — one of Nashville’s most trusted news stations — in recognition of our Music City Hitmaker Award win. This honor celebrates local tourism leaders who go above and beyond to deliver exceptional experiences in Music City. And for us, that means giving tours with purpose, passion, and history that’s felt — not just told.

History That Doesn’t Sit Behind Glass

The segment, which aired on May 14, 2025, highlighted how Nashville Adventures is changing the way people experience the city. Founder Paul Whitten, a combat veteran, shared how his own journey — from war zones to walking tours — inspired him to start a veteran-owned company built around storytelling, historical accuracy, and human connection.

“History doesn’t belong behind glass,” Paul told NewsChannel 5. “It belongs out here, on the streets where it happened.”

Our tours are more than facts and timelines — they’re immersive experiences that bring untold stories to life. Whether it’s Civil War decisions made in Nashville churches, the roots of country music, or the real people who built this city, we believe history should feel alive, relevant, and shared.

Nashville Adventures is Veteran-Owned and Community-Driven

We’re not just about walking and talking. Nashville Adventures donates 1% of all revenue to local veteran nonprofits — because honoring history also means honoring those who served. As a veteran-founded company, we’re proud to offer opportunities to other veterans and to create a business model rooted in service, empathy, and integrity.

Being recognized as a Music City Hitmaker is more than a trophy. It’s a reflection of the community we’ve built, the guests who keep coming back, and the purpose behind every step we take on our tours.
