The guide was knowledgeable about the city, but I feel there was so many stops on his route that he rushed through it and I got a bit confused.

This is a must to do. It was an eye opener. Our guide was great and knowledgeable on Dallas history.
We had a great tour with Anna. She was friendly and knowledgeable and we felt we got to know Dallas by the end of the trip. Highly recommended!
Driver was Friendly and . Knowledgeable. He gave very good account of Texas and the Dallas area history.
This tour was well worth every minute. From the beginning to the end. Organized, informative, and fun for our group of young and old. I never knew Dallas had so many things to do. Now we do.
The tour was very nice, Our guide was informative, knowledgeable, and friendly. This was my first time in a van tour like this. My only disappointment was the inability to get an open view of the sights, which is obviously not the fault of the tour company.
Be prepared to listen and get in and out of van. Limited restroom opportunities. Neat way to see a lot of things in Dallas in a short period of time.
Informative driver, he had alot of knowledge about the town. We had a small group which made it very interactive, we even enjoyed a joke or two.
Dan was entertaining, personable and knowledgeable. He spoke clearly and at a good pace, considerate of the age range of our group. We all appreciated the photos he showed us from his iPad to help us visualize the times and historical figures. He took time to ask us about our country’s history too which was appreciated. A very enjoyable experience. Thank you!
Tour was very informative but, failed to cover the points listed on the tour, instead we listened to the guide Dan go to great lengths on his theory of the Kennedy death in Dallas.
