Very worth the money! Big Tom was very informative. My husband and I had a great time learning all about Fort Worth. Tom made it super fun, he’s a great storyteller.

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.

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 🤠🐂🐂

Ask for Big Tom. He was very knowledgeable, didn't rush us and just made the whole experience very enjoyable.

Big Tom was our guide. I’ve lived in Texas for 25 years, yet learned so much about our history on this tour. Not wheelchair accessible, some stairs.
