Great day in Dallas and Ft Worth - Dan was an absolutely wonderful guide. Loved our trip! Definitely recommend seeing Ft Worth at least once and it was great to have someone walk you through the history and significance of the place before you get to see it

Fun in Cowtown - A fun time!! There was so much to do that it would have been nice to have a little more time. But, overall, it was great fun and the tour guide was excellent.

Preston was a wonderful tour guide for Fort Worth adventure - Our tour guy, Preston, was friendly, informative, and had wonderful places for us to go in Fort Worth. As a historian, he was just a wealth of information, the van was air-conditioned and very comfortable and had waters for us. He was very aware of how our group was doing. Very personable and I highly recommend him and the tour.

10/10 - Ivan was super friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Learned so much, and the bit of time to solo adventure the stockyards was great - definitely recommend if you want to see some amazing views, architecture, and learn some history from multiple eras of time!

It was informative - The van we were transported in was too small for the amount of people on the tour. Too hard to get in and out. Would have appreciated more time at Fort Worth another hour would have been great. Overall it was informative.

Great place to visit but ...... - Loved the visit to Fort Worth and especially the Stockyards. So many little shops and places to eat. The cattle drive was great to see. If you suffer from travel sickness and hate being cramped it may not be the tour for you. The bus trip was very uncomfortable as it was full, very hot and my husband felt very ill once we returned as he was in the back and I was nearer the front. The driver was very informative, but a little brusk and maybe talked too much.
