ABOUT from their website:
"From the minute you step into one of our restaurants and see the grand WOOD-BURNING OVENS and MASTER PIZZA MAKERS, you realize this is more than just another pizza joint – it’s a culinary event.
At DeSano Pizzeria, we follow the STRICT GUIDELINES of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN), preserving the centuries old CRAFT of making AUTHENTIC Neapolitan pizza."

This event has been on my radar, but I was on the fence. Several of you have said this should be on everyone's Nashville Bucket List and asked for me to schedule an event, so here we are!

OLD TOWN TROLLEY DAY TOUR... be a tourist in your town!

THE PLAN:
The tour is approximately 90 minutes. I'm thinking that as a group we will stay on for the full circuit, then hop off for a snack or lunch at the Farmer's Market food hall and then split up if folks want to go back and utilize the hop-on-hop-off option.

FROM THE WEB:
"Hop aboard the Old Town Trolley. More than just a sightseeing tour, it is a fun and educational adventure as your trolley conductor provides an entertaining narration that includes little known facts and behind-the-scenes tips."

TICKET INFO:
Prices are about $50 per person
*Tickets are buy one get one free for residents.*
