Highly recommend this short tour! - Dan our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. I learned a lot and enjoyed visiting the different sites, shops and eateries. Half day was the perfect schedule for this tour. Highly recommend!!
Additional feedback: The small white tour van was clean inside and out. It was the perfect size for our small group. I encourage the company to put some markings on the exterior, maybe a logo on the door so it is more recognizable.

Good half day your with top class guide - Cattle drive was great. Guide Dan kept the entire thing together with his extensive knowledge and amusingly he kept drifting onto his pet subject that being the Kennedy assassination but that was no bad thing. Infectious enthusiasm throughout. He could have cheered up a manic depressive! 😂

Great journey to Fort Worth - Preston's half-day tour of the Fort Worth Stockyards was an absolute delight! His passion for history was evident as he shared fascinating anecdotes and lesser-known facts, enriching our experience. From legendary cattle drives to vibrant culture, Preston's engaging commentary and friendly demeanor made the tour both informative and enjoyable. A must-do for anyone visiting Fort Worth!

Fun at Fort Worth - Brilliant tour. Danni was so interesting and caring. Fort Worth is a fun place to see with some fascinating JFK history.
Due to torrential rain the cattle run was cancelled but the cowboys put on a show gunfight, very entertaining. Will have to go back.

Fun worth having in Fort Worth - Absolutely fantastic! We had Dan as our tour guide and genuinely enjoyed his eccentric tour. We joined as a group of two with a few others joining for a group total of 6 on our tour. We started promptly on time, meet location was convenient, Dan was easy to find. We loaded up into a nice, newer model, large van and headed out of Dallas and towards Fort Worth. The entire time while traveling Dan kept us in the know of what we could see along the way and what to expect upon our next stop. The Water Gardens are an incredible concept for their time however they were not fully functional on the day of our visit. Still beautifully crafted and a neat sight to see. The JFK Memorium in Fort Worth is amazing. I enjoyed hearing Dan talk about it as well as read all of the literature provided on the display itself. Next we headed to Fort Worth in time for the 11:30 cattle drive. So incredible to see these gigantic animals. We enjoyed our "free time" we ate delectable BBQ and did some shopping. Absolutely do this trip if you are in Dallas.
