Fort Worth Stockyards - Fort Worth is amazing! Witnessing the cattle drive was incredible and we even had the opportunity to jump on a Texas longhorn. Where else in the world can you do that? Our guide, Preston, was very knowledgeable and shared lots of history on the drive and happily provided advice on what else to do in Dallas.

Fort Worth tour 1/2 day - My wife and I enjoyed the 1/2 day tour. Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable of the history of both Fort Worth and Dallas area. Our only regret was we should have taken the full day tour of both Fort Worth and Dallas. I recommend this tour!

Very worthwhile tour - Great tour. William was very knowledgeable about the history of Dallas & of Ft Worth. He had good insights about the layout of Ft Worth & armed us with what we needed to know to navigate the relatively small but cool Historical District. Anyone reading this: definitely go see the twice-daily cattle drive!
