Very interesting and unknown facts of Dallas crime history. Also some history in general, politics, and other complimentary data. Jesse was an amazing guide and very easy to follow and stay focused on his stories. Recommended!
Frank was a great tour guide! A lot of history and true crime packed into our tour. Very well thought out and researched and he didn't gloss over some of the darker stories about early Dallas. Would definitely recommend to someone wanting to dive into the history of Dallas.
Jesse was fabulous! So fun and knowledgeable. He is a great story teller with so many interesting historical facts. He texted my friend and I a list a fun things to do while we were in Dallas and even make sure me made it back to our hotel after the tour. Highly recommend!
Jesse was charismatic, genuine, and so kind. He made everyone feel welcome from the start and had a great way of bringing Dallas history and true crime stories to life. You could tell he was passionate about the subject, and he kept the tour interesting the entire time without it ever feeling scripted. I learned so many things about Dallas that I never would have known otherwise, and the mix of history, local stories, and true crime was perfect. This was easily one of the highlights of my trip, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique way to experience the city.
Great tour with Frank. Very knowledgeable and engaging! Great experience and highly recommend this tour.
This is a two hour walking tour. The tour is fun and informative !!! Our guide was fabulous and kept things interesting!
We had a great experience on this tour. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and took the time to answer all of our questions thoughtfully. What stood out most was how much history he shared about Dallas that often isn’t talked about or highlighted enough. It gave us a much deeper understanding of the city, its culture, and its past. Highly recommend for both visitors and locals!
this was a top tour. Jesse was funny and smart and told us a lot of very interesting things. Anyone would enjoy it. Dallas has some full on history!
Jesse is a great story teller. He is very knowledgeable and share detail about the true crime. He made connections between story’s and is flexibly in his approach. He is great company.
Very informative and entertaining. I loved the 2 hours spent with Jesse. I could have listened for another 2 hours. I appreciated that the tour was not a ghost story, just true crimes committed by flesh and blood that shaped the history of Dallas. Highly recommend!!
