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

Mike was extraordinary! He knew all the stories info and locations of this tour inside out. He is personable, considerate, knowledgeable and very adept at sharing his vast knowledge. My only regret is that it wasn't a week long tour.

Very fun! Evan was so wonderful! We enjoyed his energy and enthusiasm for his job. We really enjoyed all of our stops as well! Highly recommend this. The flights of beer were delicious! Exceeded our expectations!

This was one of the best tours I’ve ever taken. Our guide was so knowledgeable and really made the events of 1963 come alive. I will do this again!

Alfred was very passionate about everything he showed us. Extremely polite as well.
