Joshua Sellers and Casey Peavey met while working as local tour guides in Nashville in 2022. They bonded over their love for great drinks, architecture, and local folklore.

 

Joshua had an idea for a new type a tour. A walking tour to include puppetry to create more of a performance and entertainment for guests. He approached Casey for help with starting the business. Casey was excited to join Joshua to create this one-of-a-kind tour, because they both saw a need for more family friendly entertainment that highlighted the history of Nashville. With Joshua's background in theatre and puppetry arts and Casey's background in marketing and sales, they knew they would make a great match. So, Puppet City Tours was launched!​

​

Puppet City Tours started with just one tour a month in 2022 and has grown to three tours a weekend in 2024. Joshua initially experimented with different puppets and formats, but finally, it came together within a few months in 2022. Casey invited friends, family, and even strangers to test the tours and routes. The crazy idea of a puppet telling stories on a walking tour was a hit!

 

In 2023, Casey and Joshua built "Cornbread" themselves by hand to be the new star of Puppet City Tours. Puppet City Tours is now looking ahead at developing and adding new tour routes, puppets, and storylines in the future!
