5.00Tim was a great tour guide. He had a wealth of knowledge about the Dallas/Ft Worth area. The Stockyards in Ft Worth was fun. Especially when the Longhorns paraded down the road. Fun tour!!!
Way overpriced

1.00For the Fort Worth Stockyards you're better taking an Uber on your own and you can do a tour there for eight dollars once you get there and then spend as much time or as a little time as you want and Uber back. You'll come out way ahead financially better than taking this tour. Great places to eat there and you have to be there to see the Longhorns come down the street 11:30 AM or 4 PM.
It was a lovely...

5.00Great fun. I wish there was more time allowed to spend in Fort Worth so many shops and great things to do like stagecoach rides maze that we did not get to do. The two hours allotted was not enough.
Great tour, great guide

5.00Preston is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and fun. I really would love to have more time in the Stockmarket, one hour is too low if you want to algo grab a bite to eat and do shopping.
Great tour and would 100% recommend

5.00Preston was our tour guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and informative. He grew up in Dallas/Ft Worth and shared many stories and was incredibly insightful about the history. My husband and I really enjoyed this tour.

2.00Tour guide rushed through and not all of what was expected to visit turned out to be a drive by view rather than a stop.
Amazing Dallas–Fort Worth Tour!

5.00Our tour of Dallas and Fort Worth was absolutely amazing! Preston texted us the morning of the tour with all the key details such as where to meet, how to find him, and even the van’s license plate number which made everything super easy. The van was comfortable and spacious, fitting about 12–13 people, which was the perfect group size. We were greeted warmly right at pickup in Dallas, and from there, we were off! During the 35-minute drive to Fort Worth, Preston kept us entertained with fascinating stories and facts about the area’s history and landmarks. We arrived just in time for the famous cattle drive, which was by far my favorite part of the day! Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Well-organized, informative, and a lot of fun!
Worth it

5.00Great overview and tour of Fort Worth. William the tour guide has a sense of humor and is a “true Texan.” He was very knowledgeable about this area as well as other areas and countries so that he can relate well to travelers from all over. The Stockyards were very busy. It is basically “old west” streets where you can buy stuff, eat and see the cattle. If you have kids they have a maze and pony rides and petting soon. There is a train ride that gets sold out very quickly. The tour was worth it just to see the area-the stockyards are how I imagine “Texas.”
Very informative tour....
