5.00Our 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

5.00Had 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 🤠🐂🐂

5.00The stockyards tour with Big Tom exceeded my expectations! His deep knowledge of the region’s history combined with his excellent storytelling skills and sense of humor made for a fun and truly interesting 2.5 hours. We visited four saloons and heard entertaining stories about each that painted a vivid picture of life in the stockyard’s early days. Tom also skillfully wove the anecdotes into explanations of the trends and events that created the Texas cattle industry and the cowboy, and the region’s place in North American history. Along the way, we tasted some delish local beers (listen to Tom’s recommendations) and had a lot of laughs with the others on the tour. We learned a ton and had fun doing it. I highly recommend this tour with Big Tom!
Great time learning about...
