- Cosmopolitan7552440 contributionsGreat Dallas Highlights TourMy work team took the Dallas Highlights Tour and it was great! The bus picked us up at the office and Erin was a fantastic guide! I really enjoyed learning more about Dallas, past and present. I would highly recommend a Discover Dallas Tour for a team building activity!Written 19 November 2024
- Joel D0 contributionsSouthfork with Discover Dallas ToursSouthfork is just like it is in the tv show from the 1980s and I learned that it also has an exciting future following its recent sale. Watch this space. My guide on this tour, Rebecca, was amazing. She shared her knowledge, insights and took great photos for me. I could not recommend her tour more highly. Thank you, Rebecca!Written 15 November 2024
- anitacE9259ID0 contributionsExcellentWe really did enjoy our Fort Worth Day Tour and appreciated Erin’s explanation of the sights we saw and their history. Her knowledge meant we learnt about Texas. Loved it all, our favourites were the Texas Longhorn Cattle, Historic Stockyards District, lunch at H3 Ranch - the food and staff were fantastic, the building itself so cool - loved it, Cowtown Coliseum, Billy Bobs. From the time Erin picked us up at our hotel until the time she dropped us back the tour experience was great. Would recommend Discover Dallas Tours.Written 1 November 2024
- anitacE9259ID0 contributionsExcellentThe tour description says, “you will learn about Dallas’ history, art, architecture, JFK, professional sports, parks and more.” And we did! What a great way to see and learn all about Dallas with Erin as our guide we had a really enjoyable half day tour. We would recommend Discover Dallas Tours.Written 1 November 2024
- B458KPlindar0 contributionsExceptional TourLiz and Don our tour guides, made this tour exceptional. It was fun and so informative. A beautiful drive too by the zoo and river! Really a highlight of our visit to Waco. This tour is a must and ask for these two amazing guides!Written 8 October 2024
- janicebT8882UE0 contributionsExtraordinary Tour ExperienceWe had the absolute pleasure of learning about Dallas, Fort Worth and surrounding areas from our guide Erin. She was professional, punctual, funny, informative and has a true passion for Texas. Definitely the best way to experience an area that we had not been to before. Thanks again Erin, we’ll be in touch for our return to Fort Worth for a rodeo and to Billy Bob’s!Written 3 October 2024
- j_wenner0 contributionsErin was awesome! Loved South Fork private tour and the Dallas tv show!!Erin was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. I have loved the Dallas tv show forever, and it was so much fun to go on a private tour of the ranch and mansion from the show. We just loved South Fork!!!Written 3 October 2024
- eileenkL6822JV0 contributionsCowboys and LongHorns made the West!!The Fort Worth Tour was amazing. Our private tour guide Erin was beyond great. She was a delight to spend the day with. A stop at the Dallas Cowboys football stadium was an added bonus. The information Erin had was just phenomenal. The history of Texas was told as we made our way to Fort Worth. The Stockyards was not at all what I expected. Erin showed us the long horn cows, the arena where the rodeo’s are held and everything in between. The town was amazing. I definitely will go back on another trip to Texas. The driving of the long horns down Main Street was unexpected but something that is a must. The flavor of this town Stockyards has so much history. The smell in the shops of leather from the handmade cowboy boots and hats made you feel like you were a cowboy in the day…..and The John Wayne museum was the top hit for my husband. What a great tribute to ‘the Duke’. I highly recommend this tour. There is no way that we could have done this on our own and learned as much. A safe ride back to Dallas with a drop off at a local TexMex restaurant. Erin was a great tour guide!Written 21 September 2024
- eileenkL6822JV0 contributionsWaco by private your is the way to see Texas. .As it was our first time to Texas, my husband and I were looking for a tour to Waco to see the Magnolia Silo’s. Rebecca was our driver in a private vehicle. Just the 3 of us. The entire day was wonderful. The ride from Dallas to Waco was filled with information about Texas. The history, the side stories of what went on and what is still happening. Rebecca was a wealth of information. And she loves her state of Texas. The arrival at Waco after an easy drive was exciting. We saw everything we could. The Silo’s, the ball field, the Chapel, the restaurant, the Castle and several renovated homes and even got to meet JimmyDon in the place of business. We shopped a bit, ate at the food truck area and sat and had a coffee from the coffee shop. On the way back, we made a stop at the Texas Rangers Museum which was a great reflection about the days of the elite Police force of that era. The day was perfect. Exactly what we wanted to do and see. I highly recommend this tour as it was so much more than just Waco. It was about Texas!!Written 21 September 2024
- D6382PAroba0 contributionsFantastic Southfork Dallas tourAbsolutely brilliant tour. Very informative and interesting, highly recommended and thank you for such a wonderful tripWritten 16 September 2024
- S3058ROgabrielb0 contributionsSouthFork RanchWhat a fabulous day. Rebecca picked me up at Highland Village and was kind enough to drive me around, talk about the history and see many magnificent homes. We then made our way to SouthFork Ranch, and what a Ranch it is. I was a teenager when the show was on, but I do remember my Mum being glued to the TV and asking me to be quite as ‘Dallas’ was on. The grounds are beautiful and the home very grand and charming. Rebecca was a delightful tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend Discover Dallas Tours.Written 14 July 2024
- piemad10 contributionsBrilliant tour and amazing tour guideThis tour was one of the best we have done. Our host Erin was amazing, friendly, knowledgable. The silos tour was awesome. A huge thanks to Erin and Rebecca for making things easy, completing dining reservations for us, taking endless photos and giving us all the time we needed to cover all the things to do throughout the tour. We will definitely be using Discover Dallas tours again in the future.Written 11 July 2024
- Kildare_Ireland140 contributionsWhile in Dallas you have to visit the set of the Dallas programWe visited the Dallas TV set which is not easy to get to you will need to rent a car and drive as it’s a good bit outside Dallas. We had a very interesting tour and received lot of information. There is also a souvenir shop on site. A must for anyone that watched the show.Written 15 June 2024

- FLPARIS750 contributionsTop-notch Southfork Ranch Tour: Thanks to Discover Dallas Tours!Better late than never! I booked this fantastic tour with Discover Dallas Tours back in October, but this review is long overdue. My mom, who lives in France, came to visit me and my family in California for a few weeks. Before she flew back home, I wanted to create a special memory together. So, I surprised her with a weekend getaway to Dallas! We had a blast exploring the JFK Museum and the Fort Worth Stockyards, but the highlight of the trip was definitely our visit to Southfork Ranch. After researching several tour companies, I decided Discover Dallas Tours was the perfect fit. This family-run company stood out because Rebecca, the owner, personally called me after I inquired online. Even though the website didn't show availability, Rebecca was able to organize the perfect private tour of Southfork Ranch for us. She confirmed everything clearly via email and text message, including pick-up details and timings. Importantly, they are the only private tour company authorized by the owners of Southfork Ranch, making the experience even more special. The price was absolutely worth it. Erin, our guide (Rebecca's daughter), picked us up at our downtown hotel in a comfortable black SUV and drove us to the ranch. During the ride, Erin shared interesting facts about Dallas, the history of Texas, cowboys, the Fort Worth Stockyards and Longhorns. She even stopped at the Southfork Ranch gate for memorable photos before we arrived. Since my mom doesn't speak English, Erin found a comfortable and quiet spot for us to sit and provided detailed information about the ranch and the show. Erin was very patient, giving me plenty of time to translate everything for my mom. Her stories were captivating, and it brought back so many memories for both of us – we used to watch the show together every week back in France! The tour included a visit to the on-site museum at Southfork Ranch, where we saw photographs, magazine and newspaper clippings, props used in the show, and the famous gun used in the episode "Who shot JR?". We also walked around the house, saw the swimming pool, and the table outside where the family had breakfast. For fans of the original series, it's interesting to know that the interiors you see on screen were actually sets, while the exteriors were filmed on location at the ranch! Erin explained why the interiors weren't filmed at the ranch (you'll need to take the tour to hear the full story). The second series and more recent ones used the ranch's interior for filming. Erin was fantastic throughout the tour - friendly, patient, and attentive. She even took some great pictures of my mom and me. It was a perfect day for us. Thank you to both Erin and Rebecca! Overall, this tour was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend Discover Dallas Tours to anyone visiting the Dallas area.Written 29 April 2024

Recently while visiting in Dallas, I was interested in taking the JFK tour. With so many tour companies, I asked for a recommendation from the hotel. It turned out to be the best decision. The 3 hour personal tour covered all of the most relevant places along the route. Rebecca was super knowledgeable on all of the related subjects. It was so good that I would look forward to take the tour again. I highly recommend Dallas Discover Tours for the JFK tour or any other service they offer. Thanks again Rebecca. Great job!

Our Trip to the JFK Historical Tour in Dallas with Rebecca was more than words can say! Rebecca highlighted so many aspects of the area and events/places that we did not even know. The feelings of the people that day, the shock in the air, the heaviness in the streets...she captured all of it. Rebecca did a great job to showcase the entire experience with professionalism, humor and grace. At the end of our day, we mentioned that we wished she gave a private tour of the Southfork Ranch. She did. She did not know we were going and we did not know she gives tours of the ranch. So, we met in the morning again for another excursion and we took off. Again, another day of knowledge and facts. Thank you for the opportunity to work with Rebecca. She is a true diamond. ~The Blaesing Family, Indiana

Absolutely amazing!! From my first interaction with Rebecca to our 5 hour tour with Erin, every interaction with them was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. When we met Erin the morning of our tour, she was dressed professional, her clean Lexus SUV was comfortable to ride in, she was patient with our children, she was knowledgeable and had great skills with explaining things to us. Highly recommend!!!

Tour was amazing. Erin, our tour guide was very knowledgable. She was very detailed on the tour and was always willing to spend any extra time we needed on any of the stops. And while this was a JFK tour, she would always sneak in other facts about Dallas on landmarks as we passed them. Would recommend this tour to anyone

Brilliant tour with Rebecca, very knowledgeable about the events that happened in Dallas, happy to answer lots of questions about the theory’s that have existed for almost 60 years. Very generous with her time (we ran slightly over). Rebecca’s knowledge also comes from having met people that were there that day, which gave a wonderful insight to the confusion and pandemonium that ensued after the shooting

This was our first trip to the area. We were very happy with the process. I was skeptical about booking online, so I called and got to speak to Rebecca who was very helpful and informative. Great communication regarding tour day. Erin was our tour guide and was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Even suggested local bbq for dinner that was great. We will definitely use them again.

We flew to Dallas for a few days from Seattle . We did several tourist things. By far the most enjoyable thing was the Kennedy tour with Rebecca. Rebecca was friendly,extremely knowledgeable, and professional. Not only did we see every place the President went but every place associated with the arch villain. We learned far more than we expected. Learning hasn’t been that entertaining. We had a great whirlwind tour of the rich and famous neighborhood to boot. I can’t remember the price of the tour but it was well worth it. Try it you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Darrylandjody

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Rebecca, Discover Dallas Tours owner and tour guide. We had already known a lot about the events of that fateful 1963 day having lived through it, but we learned a lot more from Rebecca! She was professional, pleasant, patient and extremely knowledgeable. She was also punctual and generous with her time. Before booking this tour, I researched many reviews of all JFK/Dallas tours. I decided to take a chance on Discover Dallas Tours , and I'm so glad I did!

Our guide was, "Dan the Man". He taught us so much about JFK, the assignation and Dallas in general. I highly recommend this trip. Bring a bottle of water. Try to book on a day the Book Depisitory is open. We didn't know it was closed Monday and Tuesdsy. But actually worked in our favor as Dan gave us an hour tour of Dallas in place of the Book Depository...we loved it!
