Underwhelming tour
Rather underwhelming tour. 13 of us in the mini van, we were sat on the back row , very uncomfortable , felt trussed like a turkey! Our guide never told us his name .. he dropped us at the visitor centre . He didn’t give us a pick up time .. South Fork Tour, the guide spent about 15 minutes with us , then we wandered around the property. I am a big fan of Dallas so was naturally disappointed. Only the filming of Dallas was done outside the house, as the cameras were too big to fit in the corridors inside. For the cost not good value for money.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations, especially as a longtime fan of Dallas.
Regarding the transportation, our tours are operated in clean, comfortable vehicles designed to safely and comfortably accommodate up to 14 passengers. We understand that individual seating preferences and comfort levels can vary, particularly when a tour is fully booked, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective.
We would also like to clarify that the guide who conducts the tour inside Southfork Ranch is not a Fun Texas Tours guide. Once our guests arrive at Southfork, the guided portion of the ranch experience is conducted by Southfork Ranch’s own staff. The length, format, and content of that portion of the experience are determined entirely by the venue and are outside of our control.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify these points and will continue working to provide an enjoyable experience for all of our guests.

Our guide was the expert in 80’s TV trivia. Little overkill on the Ewings. Should focus a little more on history.

My second time at...
My second time at Southfork Ranch. Even though yes it’s smaller than you expect, there’s a nice energy about the place. It’s definitely worth checking out. I just wish they hadn’t sold off 200 acres of the land as now you can’t do horseback riding there and having a housing development next door will make the ranch less special.

Dan the man
A great experience with our guide for the day, Dan ! His passion , knowledge and friendliness was exceptional . We were picked up on time and Dan took the opportunity to set the scene for the day . Dans knowledge around the events of JFKs assassination was unmatched and although his views regarding the fateful day were apparent he was also willing to listen to alternative views . He didn’t only talk to us about the excursion he also recommended other activities for us to do throughout our stay . The time taken to the Southfork ranch was filled with interesting stories and tales from around Dallas including one about Dans mother being on a couple of episodes of Dallas . I would strongly recommend this trip but I’d also suggest you ask for Dan the man to be your guide !

Southfork Tour
Orlando our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We toured Dallas in a mini van before going to South Fork. The tour was great and we got time to wander round ourselves which we appreciated.
