I'm from the East Coast & you couldn't walk this very large city so it was good opportunity for an overview. Dan was so knowledgeable, friendly & helpful I would have signed up for another tour he was doing immediately after but for a conflict that arose in my schedule. I learned things I had no idea about, very enjoyable. I already recommended to someone attending conference I'm in Dallas for

Great little trip, authentic western style village with plenty of shops and food options. Would love to return and watch a show or a rodeo, this was just a tasting what The stockyards could offer.

Our guide, William, was very knowledgeable and fun. He had lots of info about the Dallas area. He threw in some humor, too.

Great tour of all Dallas neighborhoods. Orlando was knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to spend time with.

Very informative tour! Preston and Orlando get 2 up!
