Lucky to have Loretta as a guide - Loretta was a wonderful tour guide. She introduced herself to my friend and I and we hit it off immediately! Her daughter is in the army and we are both retired army wives so we had an immediate link. She was informative, gave us great interesting info about LBJ and his family. She answered our questions and helped us with resturant suggestions, even what to see on our future trolley car tour. Together we have had many tours,Loretta gets an A++

Must book tour! - Enjoyed the selections of towns where we stop and the history behind those areas. I am a Texan and not aware of some of the history that was provided. It was great to be able to tour our 36th President boyhood home and the Johnson Ranch. Fredericksburg was a treat to tour as well. Our tour guide Jose, was excellent and very knowledgeable on the areas. I would totally recommend this tour.
