We started the tour at 5 pm when the sunset was at 730 this had us walking the streets of Dallas in the dark ,All while waving my cellphone around like come and get it . All of this made us feel very unsafe , there is a lot of cool things to see along the tour and enjoyed the history and the commentary
Such an interesting and informative tour. Loved the fact I could pause this narrated walking tour anytime, and resume it whenever I wanted. Learned about all the highlights and so much more about the history behind the city of Dallas. Great tour for anyone on a short timeline, or anyone new to the city wanting to get a quick well-informed background.
