Great tour

Alan_S, Apr 2024

Preston our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He made our tour really enjoyable, despite the torrential rain!

Our guide was a reckless driver

Sharon_V, Dec 2023

Our guide was very knowledgeable however we didn’t really see a whole lot. It was mostly listening rather than doing. Also, the guide’s driving was very scary. He was speeding, switching lanes quickly without much caution, he almost hit several cars because he was going too fast. In addition, he illegally drove in between barriers on the highway to get to a different lane because he was too impatient about the traffic. I have never been so fearful of the driving on a tour before.

A good trip but not enough time.

Simon_R, Nov 2023

A really enjoyable trip (although very rushed at Southfork). Our driver Orlando was superb and can’t be faulted. He had a fantastic knowledge of Dallas having grown up there and his energy and passion really came across. The JFK aspect was interesting including driving the motorcade route JFK took. Orlando played music and audio clips related to the TV series Dallas and that really built the hype of driving out to the ranch. On arrival we were given time to take photos of the ranch from a distance and Orlando helped take photos for us folk travelling alone. Going to Southfork was really great, but feeling rushed wasn’t. We had an initial 20 mins or so to browse the gift show, and then onto the guided tour of the house. Constructive feedback being that the tour time just wasn’t long enough. We literally had like 1:30hr from drop off; and given the tour guide at Southfork was so SLOW and animated, it felt it took double the time. From finishing the guided tour we had 15 mins to make it back to the bus. I bridled managed to see Jock Ewings famous Lincoln continental, but as for strolling the other out houses or soaking up the site, it just wasn’t possible. Not Orlando’s fault but that bit felt unfair. However being balanced it was good value for money and saved me having to drive out there myself. But if you are going - top tip is a let the house guide know you don’t have much time as did we, when we became trapped in the lobby of the house towards the end of the tour while the irritating host unnecessarily fussed some random toddler. I would have also wanted more time to explore this museum but again this wasn’t possible. The Southfork team also didn’t make it clear when you could go into the museum ahead of the house tour. Again not Orlando’s fault, but it sours reflect on the experience… but overall still very good and would still recommend..

Preston is AWESOME!!! Give him a RAISE!

Michelle_B, Oct 2023

My most memorable thing from our tour was the fact that Preston was very knowledgeable about everything on our tour. He was kind and the group that went with me was extremely pleased with him as our tour guide. I will request him in the future!

Dan was a great Tour Guide.

City tour excellent Southfork tour cancelled

Celine_W, Aug 2023

Dallas tour was very good. William was very entertaining and knowledgeable about Dallas. Southfork tour cancelled with little notice. Very very disappointed with that. No alternative offered

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your review and feedback. We understand your frustration and please understand the sudden decision to stop transportation to Southfork and offer this tour, was not taken lightly, but other factors outweighed the choice to keep this tour active. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused during your travel plans and hope you were able to still go to Southfork to do a tour. Best regards

Great for Dallas fans

The JFK route and seeing highland park , the farmers market and deep ellum. Learning all the history of Dallas / and South Fork Ranch was interesting.

One worth trying

Reggie_G, Apr 2023

It was a great experience even for someone like me who is not familiar with the show. Our guide, Orlando, was very entertaining and been sharing very juicy details about the show and the tour. Two thumbs up for Orlando but giving us a wonderful and truly memorable experience👏👏👏

I recommend this tour to share with friends visiting.

Our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable & friendly. The Dallas portion of the tour was very informative. The Ranch at South Fork was disappointing although our tour guide was very knowledgeable.
