In town for a family wedding - We enjoyed the tour with Dan today! He stopped at several sites so we could see things up close and take pictures. Plus he shared a lot of area history and old photos from back in the day. We are definitely spending more time at the Stockyards!

Good Way to Learn About Fort Worth - We live in Bedford and have talked about "touring" the metroplex just to learn more about it. We've traveled to other countries and learned about them. What about "home"? This was just what we had hoped. Preston was knowledgeable and his stories brought back memories. I planned this for the fathers for Father's Day. It was a nice day

Totally Fort Worth it - Well worth the journey. The city itself has a cool historical vibe and was great to wander around. The stockyards were amazing. Great places to shop, eat and take in the history that was. The cattle drive is not to be missed, just a really great day. Would definitely do again and would stay also in FW, as more to see and do than the tour allows

Ft Worth Tour experience - Orlando was entertaining, knows a lot of Texas esp Dallas and Ft worth history. Good driver, felt safe. Enjoyed the sites of JFK memorials, Stockyards. Seeing a small herd of longhorns walk down the street at the Stockyard was amazing! Good experience overall! One suggestion, is for tour guide to keep it apolitical! Mentioning that it's only going to be Mexico and the U.S. that Canada was no longer to exist and calling the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of the Americas are controversial topics.

Long horns - Dan our trip guide was super nice and knowledgeable . Where we went on tour was fun and a must see. The van though was awful . The bumpiest ride I have ever had . It seems as if the shocks etc were completely failing . I was in far back of van . Came off of seat many times during bumps and had to brace myself frequently . If you didn’t have back and neck pain before trip , you will definitely have it afterwards . The van itself gets an ‘F’. The tour and Dan were great
