Nashville Best Of 2026 · Best Music City Tour
NashTrash Tours
A hot pink bus, big-haired hostesses, and about two hours of songs, star gossip, and outrageous laughs. Nashville’s original comedy tour since 1997, NashTrash Tours is our pick for the best Music City tour.
The Verdict
Why NashTrash Earns the Title
Plenty of Nashville tours point out the landmarks. NashTrash Tours roasts them. Hosted by the self-proclaimed Jugg Sisters aboard the Big Pink Bus, this rolling musical comedy show mixes real Music City history with singalongs, star gossip, and irreverent humor about the city’s “lowlights.”
It has been a Nashville institution for nearly 30 years, and reviewers say they laugh harder on this bus than anywhere else on their trip. Hosts learn every rider’s name, locals bring out-of-town guests back again and again, and many visitors call it the highlight of their Nashville visit. Just know it’s a show, not a party bus, and the humor is definitely for grown-ups.

The Story
Nashville’s Original Comedy Tour
In 1997, a pair of sisters known as Sheri Lynn and Brenda Kay Jugg rolled out a big pink bus and started showing visitors the “lowlights” of Music City. Their mix of big hair, bigger personalities, country songs, and cheerfully outrageous gossip turned a simple bus tour into a Nashville legend.
Nearly three decades later, the bus is still rolling. Sheri Lynn retired from the tours in 2023, but Brenda Kay and a cast of hosts, including Jenny Littleton, keep the tradition alive, learning every rider’s name, belting out songs, and dishing Nashville gossip that you won’t find in any guidebook.
“You ruin a punch line, we will cut you!”
