BIG Tom for the win!!! - Big Tom is a wealth of knowledge and a great storyteller. Tom taught us more about the Stockyards in a couple hours than we were able to learn in an entire weekend.

Lots of fun. - Our guide, Big Tom, was lots of fun. We went to 4 bars, all different, bought our drink and listened to the stories of the past and how Fort Worth and the cowboys came to be. Big Tom’s knowledge and story telling was really enjoyable. We did the 7.00pm tour, a word of advice, have dinner before you get there.

The Perfect Pub Crawl - Had a great time with Big Tom and new friends from Ohio . Solo travelling is always daunting but Big Tom made it very fun from the start. A true historian in local knowledge , not just a local with no care. Brings the group into the discussions at just the right time without being forceful . Got through just the right amount of bars in the 3 hours without walking too far. Great experience 🤠🐂🐂
