Mike was our tour guide...and let me tell you he KNOWS the story...the facts...and the background…read moreof the day that changed American history(he was born and raised nearby). His tour is intertwined with humor, news clips, police radio broadcasts and numerous stops along the parade route of that fateful day. Frankly, I'm amazed that he can drive a tour trolley and speak the ENTIRE 60 minutes!! I know there are three different drivers, but if you can possibly be lucky enough to get Mike to conduct your tour, you'll be more than satisfied - kinda reminds me of John Goodman...funny AND knowledgable! WELL worth the $20 bones it costs for the almost 1.5 hr tour of downtown Dallas as well as the boarding house and routes that Oswald took after the shooting, from killing Tippit to being captured at the theater. Thank you Mike for making the JFK assassination tour informative, humorous and factual...unlike the BS the conspiracy theorist was tossing out across Dealey Plaza!! :) Craig N.

Dallas only see below I am really upset with the Big bus…read moretour in dallas. We paid for Hop on Hop off tickets. They put us on the city tour. We were not giving options to hop on and hop off to look at any of the attractions as advertised on the website. We had to get off at a location not near the final stopping point because we needed a pit stop. The lady told us they would not be back to pick us up or that there was not another bus coming. This is not a way to conduct a business. We were not told they put us on City tour if that's what they did. So we were expecting to be able to do sightseeing at each of the stops we wanted to get on or off at. What is the use of advertising a Hop on Hop off tour if you're not going to allow the customer to hop on and hop off where they stop and get on the next bus. We ended up paying for other transportation to get back to our car because we are two miles away where she dropped us off. This is very disappointing. We haven't had good experience with most of the bus up on and Hop off tours over the years, but this one was bad because we couldn't get a hold of anybody to talk to them about anything.

The knowledge was there. The passion was there. The interaction was there. My questions were answered. He showed us video footage during our walking tour to back the events of 11-22-63. And because the walking tour was just my mom and I, he drove us along the route. We discussed every turn, every conspiracy theory and never missed a beat. It was a tour from someone who lives and breathes his job. I will gladly take a longer tour in the future because there is so much more I want to see. Side note: I was impressed with how downtown Dallas preserves its history. Everything along the route was there in 1963. I post on more than one platform so I will be leaving this review there and this is my personal first hand experience.

He reached out via text prior to start of the tour to provide important information and just say hello and introduce himself. Photo included! He was a great driver and very patient with participants. It was unseasonably hot that day and he kept checking to make sure everyone was doing OK. Even assisting the ladies(myself included) into and out of the van. I love that it was a small group. Makes it more personal. We went to all the major sites in just over three hours. Cost is very reasonable($62.99) and I booked through Viator who also does a great job! This tour is HIGHLY recommended!

The tour involved some walking but we also got to use the trolley system and learn about the trolleys. We even got to stop by the trolley depot and meet the person in charge of the trolley system who also answered questions for us. I would recommend this food tour as we got to try three different places. Baboush, Ka Thai, and The Rustic. All were great! However, the restaurants can change from what our guide was telling us. We also got to stop by a local bakery and try their sweet bread. Next time we're in town we definitely want to try out another food tour with them.

I was walking out of the Opera House and was like what is that Golf Cart looking thing with everyone laughing? A new sort of touristy tour? NOPE! I looked on Yelp for the " E Frog" and called the number. A text came back and said, "Name, how many, address and destination?" I was like wow the E-Frog is my perfect date. haha. I mean......uh so I gave him said info and a text came back with an ETA. We hopped in and we took off. Hair blowing, sun shining, and PETE was full of info and spunk. We laughed and had a blast for our 7 min journey from Uptown to the Perot. When he dropped us off we booked him for an hour or so later. He text me when he was 5 min away and we went back down and hopped over to the Crow Collection. They do not have set hours, but try to end by 11pm. 13 Frogs in the Fleet. All over uptown to FairPark and in between. If a game at the AAC, or an event at AT&T, etc is taking place they book up super fast. So be in the know you may wait a bit for a ride. They hold I think 6 ppl in each and are installing doors. I like the open air about them though. They are super clean. You just feel like a kid all over again. It is amazeballs. Do not be an uptown jerk and freeload like a $30,000 millionaire. Lets keep these guys going. The advertisement and our tips, bc they do not charge for rides, will have the Frogs creating Tadpoles.

We did the beer tour about a year ago which was amazing too. Between these two events, if you have friends in town once should be a fit. Both are awesome and this outfit has more wild knowledge about the history of this town than you can process. Im excited to check out the JFK assination tour after hearing about it. Thanks for an amazing time!

What a fabulous find!!! This review is long overdue. I've heard of this small business tour company…read more3 years ago, when I took my very first tour with them on my very first trip to Texas! My first tour was with Rebecca to the AT&T Stadium back in 2022. LOVED it, and I made a vow to take more tours with Discover Dallas Tours, in a year or few when I came back for another visit. Fast forward to now..... I decided to book the following tours with them: The Stockyards/Fort Worth. The Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas. Dallas Highlights/JFK combo tour. Southfork Ranch. All were phenomenal! But my personal favorite is the Fort Worth/Stockyards tour. I had the pleasure of touring with Rebecca for Southfork Ranch only. She is a wealth of history and information. You need recommendations for anything Texas, ask Rebecca! LOVE her!!! The other tours were with Erin. I adore Erin! She took her time with questions and was super patient and kind and informative, extremely helpful for visitors, like myself who wanted a true Texas experience! She's an asset to Discover Dallas Tours! These experiences were not cheap, but I learned a great deal from them, and I am addicted to their tours. Check out their website and see for yourself, what they offer, and what a variety of experiences you can get a chance to discover. When you take a tour from them, I promise you that you'll have a great time and create lasting wonderful memories of Texas! Trust me when I say it's worth every penny! Check them out, if you want a chance to see what Texas is all about! Highly recommended! Book ahead, and enjoy your time in Texas with Discover Dallas Tours! Thank you, Rebecca and Erin! I've learned a great deal! I'll be back again next year for more tours! I'm addicted! Until next time......

Better late than never! I booked this fantastic tour with Discover Dallas Tours back in October,…read morebut 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.

There wasn't a ton to do up there so I would say a longer visit would be 30 min max unless you partake in the snacks and beverages.

I've lived in the dallas area for more than 20 years, and in downtown dallas for about two years, so I thought I had a pretty good idea about the ghost stories in this area. Boy was I wrong. I bought two tickets to this for a date and it turned out to be one of he most fun dates I've been on in YEARS. I have done ghost tours in New Orleans and in the Fort Worth Stock Yards, and honestly this one was the best I have been on. The evening started out at Frankie's bar in downtown dallas, an establishment I've been to many times. Once or twice I've been in their underground area and had an uneasy feeling but didn't think much of it. No spoiler's here but I will say I now know what I was feeling. The heeby jeebies. Kellie Ann, Kerri Ann? I'm seriously sorry I forgot, I had a lot of Jameson last night, but whatever your name actually was, you were an AMAZING tour guide. Charming, smart, knowledgeable. She knew tons of info that was clearly scripted, but also knew lots of off the books secrets about various hauntings around the entire city that we didn't go to. A few VERY fun hours later we wrapped the tour up at Tavern and I will never look at the locations we stopped the same way again. Ghosts a plenty, and there's seriously one place I never ever plan to go back to.
