Nice, brief and historical overview of down town Dallas. Enjoy the comfort of the small group van. I truly enjoyed our kind, professional driver John; his knowledge and enthusiasm was felt making the experience easy and enjoyable.
What a great tour of the city! We not only received city and JFK assassination history, but saw architecture, places of interest, museums, and just had a really great overview of the city. I am so excited to go back to Dallas and explore these museums in depth. Our guide Dan was phenomenal! He was knowledgeable, funny, and kind. I have already started recommending this tour to my friends.

We managed to fit in both the Dallas tour and the Ft Worth tour. We really enjoyed the Dallas tour with William as guide. He was very informative and delivered his presentation with humor and facts. Very very enjoyable. Isaac gave us an exceptional tour in Ft Worth. Super nice young man with great knowledge and facts about Ft Worth. Both tours were worth it. Highly recommend!!
Thwe good: William picked us up on time, and explained the three hour itinerary to us. He also shared a good knowledge of the area. The bad: William shared too much of his own opinions. He hates Dallas, he said everyone hates Dallas, and that everyone has always hated Dallas. Way too much of the Dallas hatred. I understand fun sarcasm, but William dished it out a little too much. He constantly barbed my son for being in the USAF (William was a Army vet) and he was cutting down another foreign couple with anti-German comments. The couple was from Austria! William also made negative comments of the First Baptist Church pastor as we passed by the church. I respect that pastor and didn't care for the comment. Worse: He was a very aggressive driver. I was uncomfortable with the way he darted in and out of traffic on the busy city streets. At one point we pulled up to two pedestrians legally walking in the crosswalk and stopped within a few feet of them and honked his horn. Then he made the comment "tourists!" I am a tour bus driver on the east coast. I wouldn't get away with that type of driving.
A good explanation of the stories behind many of the sites in downtown Dallas. This tour was billed as a fun tour of Dallas, but our guide did not really engage with the customers who were from all over the world. A good tour nonetheless.
Had a great time with Isaac showing us the sights! I’ve been to Dallas several times, but this was my first bus tour here. Isaac reached out the morning of the tour to introduce himself and to let us know where to meet him. He told us about the history of the city, how it is changing over the next few years, and gave some good recommendations for food and other experiences to check out around town. The tour felt personalized and interactive, and Isaac was a very knowledgeable and personable guide. I would highly recommend a tour with this group!
Very informative and interesting! Preston was engaging. He was full of information and able to answer every question.
This tour was an excellent way to explore Dallas in short time. We visited many of the city's iconic landmarks and learned interesting facts about its history and culture. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, making the experience both informative and enjoyable.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and had great stories to tell as we went along. It was just what I wanted when I reserved the tour - I wanted to see lots of Dallas, hear the history of the Kennedy assassination and visit important sites..... all was accomplished!
