      Must see in Dallas
      This place is done really well. You can look right down at the street as Oswald might have. Good exhibits. Good information for the most part Ruby trial transcripts are missing. Drawings of Kennedy’s wounds are sketchy. They exist to perpetuate Oswald as a lone killer. Still worth a look.

      Stadium Tour
      William was a great driver, provided some great tidbits about Dallas and Ft. Worth on our drive to AT&T Stadium. Will be using them next time we are in the DFW area.

      Great one hour tour of the assassination sites and time lines etc
      Matt is a very passionate tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed his stories and his experiences and his explanations about the events on that fateful day.

      Dan was great!
      Our tour guide Dan was enthusiastic and knowledgable, which made the tour both educational and thought provoking. Seeing the historical buildings and places was amazing, but Dan's context and information made the tour even better. Great experience!

      Absolutely pitiful
      Absolutely terrible, they let me know a day before it would be canceled. I flew from Alabama to Arlington to do this. My son and I was truly disappointed. They could have let me know this weeks prior to thus. So thanks alot trip advisor. You will never ever see any of my money again.

      Tim was very nice and a good guide. Going to the rooming house was very interesting and we got to meet the great grandson of the woman who owned the house at the time Lee Harvey Oswald lived there.

      The Wind in Our Faces Tour 😄
      This two hour tour in the open air cart covered a great deal of territory - not just geographic but topic-wise as well: architectural, arts and entertainment, history, current topics, personalities both historical and contemporary. We had the opportunity to walk around a bit in some of the interesting areas Tim pointed out. Tim has a great depth of knowledge which he shared with clarity with amusing stories interspersed. A great tour for a great value.

      A must do for anyone interested in JFK
      We had an excellent time with our guide, Preston. It felt like he teleported us back to the day it all happened. He had so much knowledge of everything and presented the facts in such a knowledgeable and fascinating way. We took roughly the whole three hours, but it flew by. Way better than just doing the 6th floor museum. Thank you for the great time!

      Going back in time.
      This tour brought us back to 1963. It's so very interesting and a bit sad if you were alive back then. Gives you the shivers when you are in the book depository. Our guide was Preston and he is a walking Wikipedia. He knows dates, times, names, every detail you knew and didn't know. He really makes you think about all the circumstances of that day and the days right after. I would highly recommend this tour and I hope you get Preston.

    Preston our guide met us on time at jfk memorial Dallas and already had us on his list after texting me prior to the trip advising of the bus license plate number and his name ( which was reassuring). We headed to Fort Worth which was a 30 minute drive away and along the route Preston gave us some historical facts and pointed out points of interest. We stopped off at the water gardens for a short visit and then stopped by at the JFK memorial at Fort Worth . In my opinion this is a much nicer tribute than the one at Dallas.
    Then it was off to the stockyard where Preston again showed us some interesting photos and gave us more history of the stockyard and it’s operation and decline.
    We then had an hour or so free time to peruse the many shops and bars on offer before watching the longhorn cattle being paraded through the streets at 4pm
    We then met up with our guide for the return journey to Dallas, where again our guide Preston kept us entertained along the route - and he even sang us a song about the smelly Trinity river ( although not so smelly these days)
    All in all we had a lovely trip and Preston was a really good guide and we can thoroughly recommend it.

    Orlando was a knowledgeable, upbeat tour guide who made our van ride very enjoyable, not only with the wealth of information he shared but also with entertaining Country Western music and funny Western themed tapes played along the way to keep the mood light. Fort Worth is very unique -- certainly far different than Dallas and well worth spending a half day to explore. The Fort Worth Water Garden was beautiful, the JFK Tribute Site was well worth a stop, and the shops and restaurants in the Stockyards Historic District were charming as well. The 4 pm longhorn cattle drive down Main Street was frosting on the cake. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

    This was just an expense ride to the stock yard. It was not guided. They drop us off at the stock yard and said we will be back at 1 to pick you up. As well as running. Late because others on the tour where late and we had to wait for them they also drop people off at the Stadium so by the time you even get there it doesn't give you much time at the stock yards either. You are better off to just uber there. We actually canceled our pick up and just took a uber back to our hotel. The stock yards themselves are amazing and fun. Just wouldn't waste money on this. As it was not guided at all.

    Our tour guide William is amazing. This is the second tour we’ve had with him and each time he is entertaining and informative. He is a fantastic story teller and knows the local history. As for the tour of Ft Worth, it was very good. It was our first time to Ft Worth and we will be returning soon.

    William was an excellent tour guide! So much knowledge, southern charm, and manners! He knew things about other locations (like the places each of the passengers was from) which made you feel at ease. His driving was responsible and it was by far one of the best tours I have been on!!

    If you are traveling solo - this tour is a maybe.
    If not - take an Uber.
    This “tour” was a comfortable ride from Dallas to Fort Worth with a couple stories along the way. Once in Fort Worth you self guide and your time is limited. I would not consider this a tour, but rather a means of transport. For us - at $78pp and multiple people in our group, this really was a waste of $.

    The tour driver was nice and knowledgeable, however the tour didn’t do what it explained. It was meant to go for 4.5 hours. It went 3. And when i explained this to the driver he said take it up with management! A tour should do all it outlines and within that time frame, for that reason the tour was below standard.

    About 10 minutes out from Dallas we got a flat tyre on the highway. The company handled the situation as best as they can. They organized a new van to pick us up, and everybody received 50% discount because of the delay. (The money was already on my account the same day) They also let us stay longer in Fort Worth. Moreover those people who had to go back in time to Dallas they organized an Uber. This is what I call professionalism!
    Also 5 stars to our tour guide, William, who still managed make a cheerful tour after all of these.

    We had such a fun time on this tour! Dan was a terrific guide. He provided a lot of interesting information and was very friendly. We had plenty of time to roam the stockyards on our own and were able to go to Billy Bob's honky tonk for a beer, which is something that I'd recommend if you are in the stockyards. The cattle drive was fun to watch, and the overview of Fort Worth was short and sweet, exactly what we were hoping for.
