Natalie_K, Apr 2024

We enjoyed seeing the hill country and LBJ sites. The town at Luchenback and Fredericksburg were highlights. :)

Fun experience

Kristie_M, Apr 2024

Loretta was quite informative and fun. Fredericksburg is a nice little town and the Sister Creek wine tasting was good. Mike was friendly and knew his wines. A little disappointed that the White House of Texas was closed and is not to reopen until 2025.

Wonderful

Karen_M, Apr 2024

We thought 8 hrs might be too much, but it wasn’t!! This was a wonderful escape from the city for a calm, pleasant drive through beautiful countryside. Frequent stops for sightseeing & history broke up the day. Loved all the stops & LBJ history. Our driver Loretta was the best! So pleasant & knowledgeable! She made the trip even better. Thank you!!

A trip back to LBJ’s challenges.

Mike_N, Apr 2024

Loretta was a good driver and knowledgeable tour guide. Douglas, who gave us a tour of LBJ’s childhood home, was awesome! Also enjoyed seeing Fredericksburg.

Thoroughly enjoyed the...

Nea_E, Apr 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed the LBJ part of the tour. Very interesting and informative. Definitely could have used another hour in Fredericksburg..just not enough time to get some lunch and see the whole town in I hour. The drive thru Hill Country was lovely and Luckenbach was a fun little stop. Please choose a different winery for your tour!! The present winery on the tour is dirty and terribly rundown. Only 1 person on our tour tried the wine tasting.. that should say something! Very disappointing! There are several lovely looking wineries on route to Fredericksburg, perhaps consider one of them.

Great tour!

Douglas_T, Apr 2024

Loretta was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and informative. We learned so many interesting facts about LBJ and the hill country of Texas.

Great tour with lots of pleasant surprises

KEITH_W, Apr 2024

Terrific tour. Saw lots of unexpected sights, like a German town in Texas and Luckenbach. Our tour guide was wonderful!

Quite boring

ROSSCLARK, Mar 2024

The tour guide was great and very informative. But apart from fredericksburg the tour was quite boring.

LBJ tour and winery

Barbra_H, Mar 2024

Johnson Ranch museum, shopping and homemade pies at Fredericksburg. Excellent shops and boutiques. Beautiful countryside

Great trip

grav490, Mar 2024

Loretta was great! Appreciated her knowledge and attitude throughout our tour. We had so much fun and definitely will recommend this trip to others. It was a perfect day

Carol_M, Mar 2024

The guide, Domingo (?), was informative & answered questions. Best of all, he didn’t keep up a constant stream of chatter as so many do! Wish we could have a bit more time at Luckenbach to enjoy the music. All in all, a most enjoyable day.

A day long tour

Shannon_J, Feb 2024

We enjoyed this tour but the wine tasting was not included in price. There was construction at LBG ranch so you couldn't view the main house.

Not enough time

LAURA_T, Feb 2024

Enjoyed stopping at LBJ's boyhood home. Really enjoyed the display at the Park visitor center but did not have enough time to see the whole display. Was disappointed that his Texas white house was closed for remodeling.

Not as advertised

Bob_T, Feb 2024

This was advertised to include the LBJ ranch as a major segment of the tour. The ranch was closed for remodeling so we saw nothing of the ranch, Little White House, Airforce 1/2 etc. none of this was communicated to us in advance. I feel a refund is due as this was a ripoff. Please explain what you are willing to do rectify this situation. We have used your company in the past and we’re very satisfied.

Nice exploration of the hill country

teresa_k, Jan 2024

We enjoyed the historical content of the LBJ sights. Fredericksburg was worth the stop but needed more time. Vineyard was great, could skip the peach farm. Loretta was an excellent driver and guide

Great Tour and Guide

Debbie_E, Dec 2023

Loretta was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide and we enjoyed her so much! She was very considerate and attentive to our every question and need.

Luckenbach

Barbara_W, Dec 2023

Luckenbach was so neat so many fun stores, music etc. my pictures won’t load or I would put them on Loved Fredericksburg, great food lots of shopping

Customized Tour

Randy_M, Dec 2023

We got to limit some activities while enhancing others according to our interests. Fredericksburg was fantastic. Good shopping and great meals.

Great Job, Loretta!

JKAcker, Dec 2023

We had a wonderful day with our guide, Loretta! She was welcoming, professional and so knowledgeable about Texas history! She’s also a great driver! Wish we could give her more than five stars!

Good tour to learn history of Hill Country

Eric_C, Dec 2023

Good tour to learn the history of LBJ and Hill Country. I live in Texas and did not realize all of the goods things LBJ did during his time in public office. Also enjoyed our time in Fredericksburg.
